If Liverpool's Carabao Cup win at MK Dons in midweek proved anything, it's that the future's bright.
Ki-Jana Hoever, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott all grabbed their opportunity with both hands and not forgetting the superb save made by Caoimhin Kelleher.
And, while Rhian Brewster did not enjoy the debut he would have dreamed of, there is no doubting the 19-year-old's immense promise.
So that led our latest Blood Red podcast panel to discussing which of the Reds' young guns on show at Stadium MK have the best chance of forcing their way into Jurgen Klopp's Champions League-winning squad sooner rather than later.
And our Liverpool FC correspondent Paul Gorst and chief Liverpool FC writer Ian Doyle came to the same conclusion - it's the highly rated Dutch defender Hoever.
The 18-year-old capped a fine performance with his first goal for the club on Tuesday night and Paul and Ian explain why he is now best placed out of all the promising crop to make his mark in the senior set-up.
A number of more established players were also given a run out against MK Dons and two - Joe Gomez and James Milner - are also big talking points in the podcast.
Paul spoke to Gomez after the match, which leads to a debate about the England international's current standing, while for most observers, it was marathon man Milner who was the best player on show.
So, with the 33-year-old showing no signs of slowing down, why hasn't he been handed a new contract yet?
Paul, Ian and Sean give their opinions on that before talk turns to Alisson's imminent return and what that means for Adrian, the trip to this Sheffield United at Saturday dinner-time, and an early title-race predicition.
Enjoy.
