NewsWhy the feeling of playing at Anfield will never grow old for Tyler Morton
The Academy graduate made his first outing at the stadium for the Reds' senior team back in November 2021.
Three years on and having started Saturday's Emirates FA Cup win over Accrington Stanley, the emotions of representing his boyhood club there remain the same.
He told Liverpoolfc.com after the game: "I always have to pinch myself at the start of games and have a little look around the stadium and realise where I am.
"When I was a little boy, I used to come here and support the club every week. So, it's emotional every time I step on the pitch.
"It's brilliant for me and I love this club, I love everything about it."
Morton played an hour of the 4-0 victory over Accrington as Arne Slot's side secured passage into round four.
It was the 22-year-old's fourth appearance of the campaign and he considers himself ready to be called upon whenever required.
"I think it's been tough for me this season minutes-wise and I think I've handled it very well," the midfielder said. "I've kept my head down, I've given everything every day and I think I think I do deserve the chance, and I got the chance today.
"Hopefully people thought I took it. I think I had a good game. It was exciting. When you don't get many chances and it's rare, you've got to take them, and I feel like I did today."
The hosts overcame their League Two opposition when first-half goals from Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold were added to by substitutes Jayden Danns and Federico Chiesa after the break.
On the win, Morton said: "It was tough. They were good opponents, very good opponents and, to be honest, we expected it.
"They gave it their all, went man-to-man and pressed us all over the pitch. I felt like we dealt with it quite well in difficult circumstances. I thought it was really good.
"Obviously everyone expects you to win those types of games and it's more difficult than everyone thinks, especially when they give it their all – credit to them. It was a good game, so [I'm] happy with the win.
"We put a strong side out today – the gaffer does that quite often. It's a great thing because it keeps us winning games and he wants to win every game and so do we.
"So, the form continues and hopefully it goes into the next game against [Nottingham] Forest."
