Liverpool defeated Southampton 3-0 in the FA Cup on Wednesday night and several youngsters put on a show once again.
Jayden Danns and Lewis Koumas got the goals to put the Reds through but Bobby Clark, James McConnell and Conor Bradley were also key players.
Jurgen Klopp is staying wary of having too much attention come the way of the youngsters, who he compared to Luke Littler.
"I understand it 100% but it is a little bit like the new darts sensation (Littler), it is fine for tonight," Klopp said. "But from tomorrow, leave the boys in the corner, please. And don't ask: 'Where are they now? Where are they now? Where are they now?'
"They have a lot to improve and a lot to learn. And everyone who is with us, we should have our moments, they will have more moments than they ever would have expected, probably, so that is one thing.
"They are exceptional talents but of course it is not natural that a boy, 18, is calm as you like and just chipped the ball there (Danns's first). The second goal I would have expected him to be there because he saw when Conor Bradley shot that the goalie cannot take it. He really arrives in these moments and he was hoping the keeper couldn't hold it.
"We've said it a few times that the future does not look too bad but maybe the people don’t forget it when the transfer window opens. We have a couple of pretty promising players already, so don’t close the door for them with 12 signings.
"Joe Gomez saved our lives 20 times tonight and the kids kept us in the competition. So we can talk about the boys but but the real story today is Joe Gomez. The game he played today I have never seen before, with chaos around him, as a No.6 [for the first time], I couldn’t respect it more."
