The goalscoring exploits of Mateusz Musialowski, James Balagizi and Max Woltman may be stirring excitement among Liverpool supporters.
But if the young Reds are to regain the FA Youth Cup this month, just as much will depend on the defensive resolve that has helped them progress to the semi-finals.
Liverpool U18s earned a trip to Ipswich Town when they saw off the challenge of Arsenal at Anfield with a 3-1 win in their quarter-final tie on Friday.
Having gone three goals ahead inside 51 minutes, Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's side had to repel at strong fightback after the visitors were given hope by Miguel Azeez's penalty shortly after the hour.
However, as in the fourth round win at Manchester United when they spent the last quarter down to 10 men, the centre-back pairing of skipper Jarell Quansah and fellow 18-year-old Billy Koumetio were integral to the opposition attack being kept at bay.
"There were definitely two parts to the game," says Bridge-Wilkinson. "The way that we played in the attacking third in the first half and the start of the second half was good, we were very clinical in what we did.
"But as the game started to change and Arsenal got momentum, I thought Jarrell and Billy were outstanding in the second half defensively.
"Both Billy and Jarrell in this game, and at Manchester United as well, have shown their true worth.
"Sometimes, because we have a lot of the ball, people forget that those boys can defend the box really well and in those moments they look like real defenders - man-mountains."
While Koumetio had played at Anfield previously in a senior friendly against Blackpool last summer, Friday was a first experience starring at the stadium for most of the young Reds.
"We had a touch of nerves at the start and that was understandable, but the boys then started to feel comfortable and realise it's just a football pitch," adds Bridge-Wilkinson.
"It's about having a belief and being brave enough regardless of the surroundings and the occasion to play the way that we play. We did it in spells, but it wasn't a complete performance.
"There are different ways of showing how to win a game and we showed both sides of it."
Woltman's 22nd-minute opener was added to 13 minutes later by a James Norris penalty, with Musialowski notching the third shortly after half-time following a trademark jinking run into the box.
The first and third goals were created by Balagizi, who now has eight assists in his last nine games to go with the hat-trick he scored in the previous round at Leicester City.
And Bridge-Wilkinson says: "James started slowly and was a little bit asleep at times but then he got into his groove and was really good.
"The group aren't willing to accept anything and they'll fight and run, and James did that part of the game as well - sometimes, having worked with him in younger years, perhaps he didn't do that.
"But here he showed his quality with the ball and he put in a shift."
Bridge-Wilkinson also appreciated the presence of Jurgen Klopp, who was at Anfield along with several of his first-team coaching staff.
"It shows a lot about them as people that they are willing to take time watching the boys," he says. "We are grateful for that.
"It also shows the way the club is aligned that they are taking time out of their busy schedule to take an in interest in the younger boys."
