Potent enough to score four or more goals on 10 occasions already and spirited enough to hit six winners in the 90th minute or later, the team is spearheaded by a pair of 17-year-olds – in Bobby Duncan and Paul Glatzel – with such an insatiable appetite for finding the net that they’d done so 36 times between them by Christmas.
Overseeing their development is a 37-year-old from Fazakerley who took the reins last summer and has clocked up 17 wins from 21 matches in all competitions, including the UEFA Youth League.
So, is the side’s ultra-entertaining – and, to date, successful – style down to Barry Lewtas’ personal approach, the overarching philosophy of the club or simply the fact he has so many gifted attackers at his disposal?
