I remember listening to a journalist talking about the lack of good young England players of good quality.

They got talking about who might come through in the future, he mentioned a few names and then stopped and said that there was one player who was considered to be on a totally different level. That was Ojo, and he was 15.

I've seen him play a few times for our youth sides. He's never quite clicked when I've seen him play. Almost like he was trying to do everything. I wasn't sure what his best position was, and it will be interesting to see here he ends up.

Exciting player. Everyone loves a young attacker who turns up and looks fearless. I suppose we have to temper the fun with the fact that Exeter were dead on their feet when he came on.

As regards song... It surely has to be Pharaoh Monch and Mos Def... Continuing the rich tradition of hip hop at anfield!!

Ojo!!
Look at who slotted in the last goal
From Melwood to Anfield they know
We salute the Ojo!!
Step away from the pitch he's too cold
His shot might fracture your nose....

Just like how Ibe was going to turn out 'miles better' than Sterling, right?

He's the 'next' nothing. No need to compare him to one of our former players. He's looked good in his cameos but it's still early days - he could turn out to be a Raheem Sterling or a Ritchie Patridge.

Will be interesting to see if he's made enough of an impression on Klopp to get onto the bench for the next couple of games.

That goal! I love the fact he had the confidence to even try it in front of the Kop, let alone pull it off. It was so nonchalant. I hope it has made him even hungrier

DeLeiva · « **Reply #51 on:** January 21, 2016, 10:04:58 am »

Just needs to keep his head down and train his bollocks off.

If he can show the same level of performance for the rest of the season, he'll give us a decent option off the bench.

Agreed. A raw talent, but there is obvious potential for him to become a top player. If both 1. he has the right positive attitude to improve as a player and 2. the club gets his development correct, then we are on to a winner with this lad.

However it plays out, Sheyi Ojo has real potential, and I am excited to see how he he progresses over the next couple of years

Journalist talking crap to be fair, there were a few Ojos in this country, at the same age group even a couple years ago.

Adeemo · « **Reply #56 on:** January 21, 2016, 11:05:55 am »

For me his most impressive attribute right now, is that for an 18 year old his final ball is almost fully developed. His delivery just shouldn't be at that level yet and it's mainly because he's so calm in possession.

That finish. Sturridge esque.

Yeah, Sturridge vs Sunderland, in a surprisingly nervy and low scoring game on our great 2014 run. I was in the kop that night, and Sturridge's shot took a deflection iirc

Ojo's finish was sublime, utter simplicity.

Gerrard-2-Torres · « **Reply #58 on:** January 21, 2016, 11:10:43 am »

This lad has got a bright future ahead of him. With the right mind set and proper development under Klopp, he'll be a fucking beast. That goal was pure class.

tubby · « **Reply #59 on:** January 21, 2016, 01:17:50 pm »

Is he going to a fancy dress party as Mark Morrison in that picture?

Took his goal really well last night and generally did well, but also looked a little lost at times. Looks a legit threat going forward though and there was one break away where Ibe should've played him in, he was pointing to where he wanted it and knew he had the legs on the defenders but the pass never came.

I know it's boring to be sensible in threads like this, but there's a lot of truth in this post.

Ojo wasn't in the England U17 squad that won the Euros back in 2014 so there's no shortage of talent in that specific age group at least.

Haha, excellent mid 90's flashback. All depends on whether he's got a pair of handcuffs out of shot there.

Been following Ojo since he started playing for the U18. If there's one who has the potential to breakthrough, Ojo is the one. Skill, pace and power in abundance. With the right attitude, desire and application, he should make the grade. Clearly he relished the sub appearances against Exeter. Klopp will keep him here from now on

The OP should leave out the part on his private life. It has nothing to do with Ojo the footballer.

Agree with this! Not relevant at all!

Great goal last night, really excited about him as a prospect, not seen much of him, but I've heard loads.

coutinho92 · « **Reply #67 on:** January 21, 2016, 11:57:12 pm »

Think hes got the most potential out of all our current crop coming through. Under klopps guidance he will be a real threat in a couple years. Cant wait to see more of him

He looked much better than any of our other attacking options at Exeter. I was confused as to why he didn't start at Anfield.

He's got the highest ceiling of any of the lads. Genuinely has everything in his locker. He's the best penalty taker at the club by a mile. His sock game is already Ballon d'Or worthy. Check out this performance for England when he bossed play from the middle of the park. This is why I, and others, say he's a CM long-term. He's much, much more than a pacy winger.

Yikes. Impressive video. The lad can dribble, protect the ball, fling the passes around... I had only seen glimpses of him before, but after seeing that, colour me impressed!

Yeah he looks like he would be excellent as a left cm in a 4-4-2 diamond. Or left of a 4-3-3.

Many managers tend to play youngsters on the wing to improve their timing and decision making.

It was the only Ojo article on the echo website, I thought the bit about him supporting Arsenal and all the huge clubs interested in him while at MK Dons was interesting.
