In a Yanks Abroad battle of the century, Whitbread flexes his superiority.

Zak Whitbread has played well this season for the reserves and a minute into the second half he showed his quality with a superb sliding tackle inside his own penalty area to deny Jovan Kirovski

And puts in a near man of the match peformance:

An outstanding performance from both Academy graduates David Raven and Zak Whitbread at the heart of the Reds defence, but Raven just shades it for me.

I wonder if he will be loaned out to a D2 or 3 team if not worked into the 1st team soon.

With some injuries in the Reds' defence, surely Whitbread is going to get included in the first 16 at some point?

What are the odds that he could?

Surely, Houllier would like to have some depth in his defensive ranks...

Can Houllier put aside the fact that Zak is an American?

Crazy french people.

Is Whitbread cap-tied to the US? If he is we are going to surely have a wonderful backline in the near future with Gooch, Yi, ect.

I don't think so. He has played with the team, but I don't think in a FIFA sanctioned match yet.

It will be quite a change to have a young backline after all these years.

he won't be able to get cap tied until he gets a SR A Match anyway. U20s or no U20s
