Liverpool have a host of young players currently out on loan and enjoying varying levels of success but this is certainly not a moment that reflects well on one of them.
Currently playing for Irish Premier Division side St Patrick’s Athletic, Marcelo Pitaluga is enjoying some opportunities in first-team football.
