ANDY has ROBERTSON revealed the key to Liverpool's Class of '24 walking tall at Wembley - they aren't allowed to get too big for their boots in the Boot Room.

famously said, "You can't win anything with kids", but Jurgen Klopp's remarkable Liver bird chicks - eight of his match-day squad came through academy director Alex Inglethorpe's Kop kindergarten - have proved the former pundit wrong.
