Liverpool playmaker Cameron Brannagan may be diminutive in stature but he has heart to match any player, says U21s coach Michael Beale. Boss Jurgen Klopp gave Brannagan his full Liverpool debut three weeks into his reign, with the 20-year-old handed his first Premier League start in the 1-1 draw with West Brom on the final day of last season. Klopp: Team spirit is the key Jurgen Klopp says big name signings are not necessarily a guarantee to take Liverpool to the top The 5ft 9in midfielder, who joined the club aged five, has played in both of the clubs pre-season friendlies so far, a 1-0 win over Tranmere and last Wednesdays 5-0 victory at Fleetwood Town. Brannagan will hope to be involved in Sundays friendly against Wigan and Beale says his technically-gifted former captain is a shining example to the rest of the clubs academy prospects.When I first came here Cameron Brannagan was really slight. He was playing for me in the U16s and hes worked hard and just really kept on going, Beale told Sky Sports. Brannagan was given his full Premier League debut by Jurgen Klopp last season Its very important we keep his feet on the ground as is the case with all of our young boys but were very pleased with him.Hes not really a British-type player. Hes very technical, he can play with both feet and he plays big for a small lad. The most important thing for smaller players is they play with a big heart and dont get overawed by bigger stronger players and he does that. Marko Grujic scored on debut as Liverpool seal 5-0 win over Fleetwood. The only place to watch all of Liverpool FC’s pre-season games is LFCTV We have a strong development pathway for all the players and we explain what were trying to do with them, but I think promoting him and making him captain of my U21s a couple of years ago was also a big part of Cammys development.Its been a long journey, and hed tell you that himself, but its just lovely to see him flourishing and part of the first-team setup. Brannagans versatility will be helpful to Jurgen Klopp, says Beale Brannagan scored a sensational goal on the U21s end-of-season tour to America last month, cutting in from the left and firing into the top right corner against Sacramento Republic.He has been used in a variety of positions by Klopp in his eight first-team appearances under the German to date and Beale admits Brannagans versatility is a big asset.He can play as a deep-lying player as number six or as a box-to-box midfielder which I think he prefers because he can drop deeper when needed but can also get up and around the box, Beale said. Liverpool beat Tranmere 1-0 in their first pre-season game. The only place to watch all of Liverpools pre-season games is LFCTV The boys coming through the academy now have been used to playing in a three-man midfield for so long, and Cammys someone who likes that freedom of playing in a three because he can float around a little bit.But if you ask him hes not really fussed what position he plays in. Hes happy to play right or left which is lovely really for me as a coach and also good for Jurgen that the players coming to him are flexible and just want to be in the team. As soon as I came to Liverpool it was just different. The people in the city demand young players coming through and they have a massive feeling for the young players that do come through. Liverpool U21 boss Michael Beale Beale joined Liverpools academy staff in 2012 after coaching for 10 years at Chelsea working his way up to youth development officer for the Blues.But the lure of Liverpool was too much for the Bromley-born coach to resist and Beale says there is a different kind of enthusiasm for young players on Merseyside.I spent a lot of time at Chelsea where it was hard to get players through because managers were under immense pressure, he said.

You can watch all the action on TSN2 beginning at 7pm et/4pm pt. Pineda won his second straight start last Wednesday against Chicago, as he held the Cubs to just four hits over six scoreless innings to run his record to 2-0, while lowering his ERA to 1.00. He is the first Yankee since Kevin Brown in 2004 to throw at least six innings and allow one run or less in each of his first three starts for the club. "Again, really, really good," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Command of his pitches, command of his changeup, his slider tonight. It wasnt the best conditions to pitch in, but I thought he did a really good job." Pineda beat the Red Sox two starts ago, yielding a run in six innings. Of course, television cameras showed what appeared to be pine tar on his right palm of that one. However, it was never brought to anyones attention and seemed to be cleaned off a few innings later. Boston, meanwhile, will counter with righty John Lackey, who has lost his last two starts and is 2-2 with a 5.25 ERA. After getting hit hard by the Yankees two starts ago, Lackey again struggled on Friday against Baltimore, as he was tagged for six runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings. He also walked four batters, more than he had allowed in his three previous outings, when he gave up three over 18 2/3 innings. "Honestly, they had a couple walks, but they were in spots that wasnt that big a deal, against guys I didnt really want to give in to," Lackey said. "I felt OK with it." Lackey surrendered six runs in 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Yanks on April 12 and is 10-11 lifetime against them with a 4.99 ERA in 28 sstarts.dddddddddddd. New York got the best of its rivals in Tuesdays opener, as Jacoby Ellsbury gave the Red Sox fans an unwanted welcome back in his return to Fenway Park, going 2-for-5 with two RBI to help the Yankees to a 9-3 rout. Ellsbury, part of two World Series titles during a successful seven-year tenure with the Red Sox, tripled in his first at-bat as a Fenway visitor and later drove in two with a double that highlighted a four-run fifth inning. The star outfielder bolted Boston for a seven-year, $153 million contract with New York during the offseason. Three other Yankee newcomers made big contributions as well, as Masahiro Tanaka yielded just two runs and fanned seven over 7 1/3 innings in another strong start, while Brian McCann went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and Carlos Beltran finished 2-for-5 with a homer and two RBI. New York has now won six of its last nine games. Tanaka (3-0) allowed back-to-back homers to David Ortiz and Mike Napoli in the fourth, but just five other hits in his first-ever encounter with the Red Sox. On the other hand, the Yankees battered Boston ace Jon Lester (2-3) for 11 hits and eight runs -- though just three were earned due to a pair of Red Sox errors -- in 4 2/3 innings of work. Napoli ended 2-for-4 and Xander Bogaerts had an RBI double in the loss. "(New York) put some good swings on him," Red Sox manager John Farrell said of Lesters performance. "They mishit some balls, they found some holes. We didnt help out defensively and once again were digging ourself a hole to play catch-up." New York took three of four from the Red Sox earlier this season. Prior to the game Meb Keflezighi, the mens winner of the 118th Boston Marathon and the first American to win the championship since 1983, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. ' ' '
