Its not. He is an 18 year old who joined from a Scottish PL team who had a breakout season. This is a different level and will take time.

The confusing thing is the club thinking things were so good that he could be our third biggest signing in the summer.

Of course it will take time - but the lack of minutes overall is odd. I do appreciate the weird injury situation - but he's looked good in the couple games he's played.

Simply saying it would be good to see him a bit more.

Yeah agree with you, nothing confusing in this one. He's less experienced than Robertson was [and he took how many months for his first appearance, and then being trusted to play the desired role], and his skill set in Scotland seemed better suited to playing in the opposition half than defending [and look at what Klopp did with vastly more experienced Moreno, benching him a year to improve the discipline required for the role]

Was never going to be playing much this season, even less so given our team's performances. Just look at how little even Tsimikas is playing.

Carvalho is the one I don't get, to be honest.

Just a note - he is 19 as of last July. The step up from Scotland to the PL is difficult - but he will need some minutes. He actually profiles well - at least when we had a plan.

Aside from the sending off, how have his performances been in the youth sides?.

looks like Ramsay (and Ben Doak) played for the U-21's today, lost 0-1 to Crystal Palace;

He's looked decent in the games he's been given though. It's not like he's looked miles off it.

We saw very little of Tsimikas in his first season if I recall. Then last year he stepped in and was more than ok.

Might just be one of those where it’s taking time to get things right behind the scenes.

El Lobo · « **Reply #299 on:** January 22, 2023, 09:27:26 pm »

He’s a kid, and we know the gaffer likes experience when we’re struggling. It’s hardly a damning indictment that he’s not played much, I suspect he just doesn’t want to throw a kid to the lions.

It's probably the case - but Badger and Elliot are playing a lot (ok maybe injuries are partly at play there).

Got Covid at the start of the season and then had a nightmare with injuries.

Coolie High · « **Reply #302 on:** January 22, 2023, 10:27:40 pm »

The last time he played he was pretty good, but Milner has been excellent in that right back position as of late so I get why he gets the nod over the inexperienced Ramsay.

Lad · « **Reply #303 on:** February 4, 2023, 04:50:14 pm »

Is he injured? Suspended? Exciting prospect, highly rated young right back but he never even makes the subs bench lately and hasn't been added to the European squad !

Fromola · « **Reply #304 on:** February 4, 2023, 04:51:12 pm »

It's odd. May as well give the likes of Ramsey, Phillips and Clark a run.

He's not injured. Played an Under 21 game the other day.

He's been bedded in slowly a la Robertson. Came here with an injury.

tubby · « **Reply #307 on:** February 4, 2023, 04:54:57 pm »

Yeah I'm not too bothered about him not appearing much this season, he's had a couple of injuries and is getting used to this level. But if he's not featuring next season, then it's a weird one.

Draex · « **Reply #308 on:** February 16, 2023, 07:09:07 pm »

Seems a pretty serious knee job that

DelTrotter · « **Reply #309 on:** February 16, 2023, 07:11:21 pm »

Mad that he was in training pics last week, had no game then next thing you know is posting hospital selfies with a long term injury. That's the way it goes for us sadly! Hopefully he can make pre season, been a crap year for him with all the injuries.

Get well soon lad

Poor lad. Seems he can’t catch a break since joining us.

Alanslad · « **Reply #312 on:** February 16, 2023, 07:22:58 pm »

Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Don't think much of that frock though. Maybe DCL could pop in and give him a few fashion tips.

Is there questions to be asked of the pitches in Kirkby?

You can try but they can't answer as they are large areas of grass...

...which don't grass

Seriously though the amount of injuries we pick up in training is absolutely frightening.

I read that we discovered he had a stress fracture in his back after he had signed. Is that true?

Really weird. I’m pretty sure just a few days ago Klopp said we had no new injury issues.
