Topic: Rhian Brewster

[spider-neil]

I think if Brewster has a good preseason he will remain at Liverpool. I have a feeling we aren't going to move for a forward this summer. Mainly because of the African Cup of Nations being pushed back.

He needs to play games and if Origi stays then he will need to go back out on loan..Sure Stevie will be interested

[Oskar]

Barring the experience of a few European games, there'd be no benefit to Brewster playing in Scotland.

If he does go out on loan again next season and there isn't an option in the Premier League, he shouldn't be short of interest from the bigger Championship clubs that will be expecting to challenge for promotion. If there was interest from elsewhere in Europe, a loan to the Bundesliga might be a good option as well.

Why would we loan him to a Scottish team, regardless of who’s managing them? If we don’t keep him around as a backup we’ll surely try to get him a loan to a PL side.

A Premier League side would be great.. But Scotland was great for VVD..

I think it would be a big mistake to loan him out again,there's a place on the bench for him to come on and take advantage of tired sides.

I think a year of football suits him well.

His move to Swansea was the start of his career as a senior footballer.  He’s stepped up well.  Just needs to play for a bit I reckon.

I think he takes Origi's spot next season

It's becoming difficult to make an argument for that not to happen.

I think Brewster would make more of the kinds of opportunities that Origi wasted today.

[farawayred]

Rhian needs to develop. I'd rather we struggle another season without a good sub striker than bring him in. We would fail him otherwise; I'd rather he reaches a good potential elsewhere to have a breakthrough season with us.

[Fromola]

It's a difficult one. If he could have a full season at a Premier League side (or stay at Swansea) and play regularly it'd develop him a lot, but he could have a loan with a Prem team and not really get the opportunities.

[Knight]

Aside from a history of Origi scoring important goals for us there's very little reason for him to be taking Brewster's minutes at this point.

And what a history last season but Origi hasn't scored since December and his last league goal before that was the 4th goal against Norwich on the opening day. If he was still a goal threat it'd be different, but I can't remember the last time he vaguely looked like scoring. Brewster is a natural goalscorer.

Drew a penalty in the 2-0 win at West Ham in January, it was pretty much foul him or he scores. But yeah, pretty much didn't get into a chance the last few games he played.

[Gnurglan]

Liked the freekick goal. Hope he keeps scoring goals. Would like to see him get a chance next season and if he keeps doing well I think it might happen.

[NsRed]

Think he could really thrive with his intelligent runs in behind the defence for us, with the quality we have. It’s amazing that he’s been able to score 7-8 goals for Swansea feeding on absolute scraps

[spider-neil]

The manager (Swansea) has said his shoulder is not dislocated and he should be fine

[plura]

Another season on loan at a team at the top of the Championship, and he should be ready to come back and fight for a starting place if he can keep up this form.

Another season at a top Championship club and him playing then we could easily expect 15-20+ goals from him. He knows how to score goals that's for sure.

15-20 goals in the championship next year or 15-20 goals playing for us in the PL the year after?

[Sheer Magnetism]

Let's not get too excited. Origi's scored at the business end of the Champions League, Brewster is scoring tap-ins against Championship defences. Let him have a few months on loan in this division so we can really see what he can do.

[MD1990]

If we send him on loan again.
Dont send him to Swansea. They create so little & are a poor side.

The fact he has done so well in a poor side bodes well.

Maybe a loan to Leeds if they go up as expected.

The issue is that the more creative sides have forwards who score more goals and will be less likely to look for a striker on loan, they have bigger needs elsewhere. The reason Swansea needed Brewster was because all their forwards were poor, which is easy to understand given how little they created for him in the few matches I've watched.

[plura]

15-20 goals in the championship next year or 15-20 goals playing for us in the PL the year after?

I'm sorry, but are those two mutually exclusive? I am thinking like you said yourself, 15-20 goals next season for him in the Championship. And then the following season 10-15 goals for us when rotating with the rest. That would be amazing.

Really ?  He is also their highest scorer.

I'd be happy if he scored tap-ins for us on a regular basis

Damn you,you've spoiled my trap.

[kloppismydad]

I hope people realise that for scoring tap-ins, a player needs to make a run and be in the right place at the right time. It's not just standing on the goal-line like Sunday league with no offside and scoring goals, although Pipi Inzaghi made a career out of that.

Love Rhian's knee-slides!

[sminp]

I think a lot will depend on whether we get a good offer for Origi and who makes an offer to loan Brewster. I guess Brewster will have some good loan offers based on his performances this season but whether or not we can shift Origi for a decent price is another matter.

Everton will blow their budget trying to buy him, to stop him scoring against them

And hasn't looked like kicking on from that.

At this point, I think we'd have seen far more from Brewster playing for us yesterday than we did from Origi, who just seems comfortable enough as an impact player that he can let starting opportunities pass him by.

It does Brewster a disservice to say he's just scoring tap-ins in the Championship; it's not true for a start and he's shown there's a lot more to his game than that. His work rate, movement and intelligence on and off the ball are pretty much keeping alive any hopes that Swansea have of the play-offs.

I'd take a talented young goal scorer who plays like he has a point to prove in every game over a more experienced player who now looks a bit too happy and content to always be on the periphery.

Wilson is one of Bournemouth's best players. Do you really think Scotland is his level?

No, but Wilson is an easy bait for a lot of posters.

Tap-ins are a skill. You have to naturally anticipate where the ball is going to drop an be on hand to capitalize. Tap-ins, like penalties, is an underrated skill.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been doing that his whole career scoring tap ins and penalities and he hasn't done that badly for himself has he

Ronaldo was originally a tricky, speedy winger who adapted his game as he got older.  I think Brewster is more like Aguero, neither of them are lightning quick, but both make really smart, well-timed runs and are great finishers.  If Brewster can develop the strength Aguero has on the ball, he'd go up a level.

great news. still hope he is fully rested for the next game. better to recover fully rather than suffer niggling effects til end of the season.
