Topic: Stefan Bajčetić

[Fordy]

Well done lad.

[lionel_messias]

A quality lad.

Look forward to plenty more minutes this season.

[didi shamone]

Has really good anticipation which is an underrated quality. Hamann was exceptional in that department.  This lad is more mobile and has the potential to be better.
That said he's very much a kid physically so we might not see as much of him as we'd like.

[Fabulous_aurelio]

Should have been MOTM tonight, not taking anything away from Harvey but Bajcetic was brilliant

Yeah I thought so too. He was excellent.

[disgraced cake]

With us needing a few new midfielders in it'd be nice if Bajcetic continued proving he was up to the task of performing in a serious role in the squad.

Looking forward to the BBC midfield next season (Bajcetic Bellingham Caicedo)

[Alan B'Stard]

Lovely performance tonight. Looked composed and read the game well. I think we can't get too carried away as he'll have some bad games. Really impressed though!!

[Koplass]

Excellent and mature performance.

[Dim Glas]

It’s pretty clear he has quality but lacks a bit of physicality/endurance. Thing is, that extra strength and that ability to go the distance comes with more games and minutes. Klopp probably feels he has to find him more minutes now.

for sure, but that will come.

But it does mean that him starting the next game is not happening I’d suspect, shame really, cos I’d love to see the lad just get thrown in.  Once he got cramp, sort of knew that isn’t happening    But I really hope he starts getting the odd league start now at the expense of Fabinho. 

He’s a talent.

As are the BBC.

[duvva 💅]

Really impressive tonight, hard to believe he’s barely 18. Looks like we’ll need to manage his minutes until he’s physically stronger from a stamina point of view. But really excited about this lad

[Gus 1855]

If it were a weaker team at the weekend I’d be up for throwing him in, think Chelsea may be too soon.

[DangerScouse]

Very accomplished performance. Difficult to not have high hopes for him.

I couldn't watch the game tonight because of work but from the little I've seen of him, he plays a lot older than his age but mentally and physically.

His finish against Villa was really composed and his crunching tackle against Leicester would make an experienced pro proud.

[HeartAndSoul]

Nah he can’t be any worse than hendo or Fabinho at present. Both are absolutely stinking out the joint. If you’re good enough, you’re old enough.

Love that round the corner pass to Thiago at 1:40 in that.

[MonsLibpool]

Very accomplished performance. Difficult to not have high hopes for him.

He's a kid at the end of the day. He may be inconsistent due to his inexperience. Let's enjoy his development and not put too much pressure on him.

[nerdster4]

He needs to start at the weekend

Thank you.

It also comes with age and training too.
When i saw he had Cramp was like time for Fabinho

[lgvkarlos]

Haven't even watched it but remember the pass, his awareness is superb. Really classy footballer

[Gnurglan]

  for the performance vs Wolves!

Him with Thiago and Keita made us look like a proper unit in CM. Defensively we were reliable. Liked how he found ways to pass the ball forward resulting in attacking threat for us.

Nice. He’s very good on the half turn.

I’m going to be a bastard and criticise one thing. Weight of passes can be a little off. Needs to put a little more zip on them at times. Very impressed with him though. Hope he gets a lot of minutes this season.

[Raid]

Ordinarily yes, but Chelsea have been as bad as us.

Start him, hook him when he’s gassed. As others have said, Fabinho and Hendo can have no complaints if they are left out for a game or two

[Number 7]

You can see why Klopp rates him so highly. Top performance today and a better showing than a lot of our midfielders this season.

Compare what he was doing tonight to what our midfield was doing on Saturday. Night and day.

Would just keep starting him honestly, but not sure Klopp will start him against Chelsea.

If someone had shown me that pass but with the player blurred out I’d have bet money it was Thiago as I thought he was the only one with that vision and ability to pull it off.

100% mate

Lets remember... Bajcetic is Spanish though, he seems to have that Xavi/Iniesta style of play where they are constantly looking and analysing whats going on so they can choose the best option for each passage of play when they recieve the ball

[Crosby Nick]

Brilliant. Only 18 and looked completely natural throughout. He should be starting ahead of Fab until he sorts out his form.

Or play the error strewn Fabinho and the young Spaniard together.

[elkun]

He was brilliant and he hopefully can continu this

Does that make Thiago Mousey?

Young Busquets type it feels like.

[Dave McCoy]

His passing was erratic but he hoovered up the ball like Fabinho used to do, was mobile, good on the ball, everything you'd want but just some better choices when passing. You could tell as soon as Thiago and him went off we couldn't win or keep the ball. Granted Wolves were throwing everything at us but we also weren't helping ourselves.

[RyanBabel19]

Young Busquets type it feels like.

Definitely, a lot of similar attributes

[RedG13]

That something with the step in from youth level will improve. He had a terrible out ball to the Tsmikas or Carvalho but knew it right away, happens move on and get better.

And he’s got one of the greatest Spanish midfielders of this generation in the team to learn from and work with.

It’s impossible for him to fail 😁

[Nick110581]

Such a great performance

[jooneyisdagod]

One slight caveat would be that Wolves midfield isn't particularly mobile. It will be interesting to see how Bajcetic does against a more physical and mobile midfield like a Brighton even but honestly he cannot do any worse than Hendo and Fabinho did. Hell, even in this game, our standard dropped off after he went off and Fabinho came on.

[jepovic]

I know Klopp doesn't want to put too much pressure on the young lads, but at this point I'd start him every game

Klopp didnt mind throwing Harvey in at the deep end of the pool, so maybe

He’s class and if you are good enough then you are old enough.
