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

One or maybe 2 "mistakes" all game  the lad's a player alright.

I'm all for him Nick. As I said, it's not his age that I'm concerned about. It is his physicality but he is still very young, so no doubt he'll grow further. I would have him in the line up against Chelsea. In fact, I would start this midfield against versus Chelsea as I think it would be much improved with a bit more pace on the wings to give them an out ball more often.

Fab isn’t fit and Hendo been really poor so play a midfield with mobility.

That wasn't a dig at the lad Nick.

[Dim Glas]

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

way he was cramping up? I’d be amazed if he’s starting the next game, maybe start the one after. Lad needs to build up his stamina!

But I can’t wait for the fallout when he isn’t named in the starting 11 next game!

I am agreeing with you.

He’s the best option there.

I wont complain too much if Fabinho-Keita-Thiago MF next game.
Yea he 18 moving up from the youth level to First team, obv building up stamina going to be important. he will have 72 hour of recovery, might be best to be off the bench next game etc.

[royhendo]

Big and physical and mobile. He should be getting starts I’d argue.

[anandg_lfc]

Excellent performance and played with a mature head. Hope he gets more minutes under his belt

[Samie]

Our Luis Garcia wants him in the Spain set up ASAP.

You will say that I'm saying this because he's a Spanish player but...Bajcetic is showing credentials to be the present/future midfielder of LFC & Spain !!

[MD1990]

only 18 in october.
He looks an excellent talent,

Should start on saturday

[Kansti]

Levels above what our mainstay midfield is offering currently. He needs to start

[Suareznumber7]

Hope he starts on Saturday.  He deserves much more game time going forward. 

[wemmick]

He looks ready to play regularly. Getting better by the appearance. Plays like he has all the time in the world now. I'd take a good 60 minutes from him than flogging Henderson or Fabinho again. They need a break from starting.

[Rosario]

Give him a taste of a big PL game on the weekend and see how he reacts, would give us some much needed legs in midfield for 60-70 minutes.

[harleydanger]

You're not going to get a better season to get big games in him.

[Darren G]

Looks like a genuinely exciting talent.  I realise that he's 'his own man' and all that bollocks and that comparing players to others is sometimes frowned upon on here, but...he looks similar to Bellingham in so far as his ability to operate really well in tight spaces, whilst his passing technique looks reminiscent of Tiago's at times.  Not a bad combo. 

[fowlermagic]

My man of the match last night as thrown into the wolves and came out wearing a fur coat. Dominated the hardest position on the pitch. Brilliant stuff for the lad.

[wah00ey]

"The Badger."

["Bobber" Thanks :)]

Seems to be a part of the midfield solution. Not sure how much should be put on his young shoulders right now, but based on his showings so far, he deserves a spot in the team

[Higgins79]

Excellent performance. Him and Thiago look like they could be the answer this season. We just need to be careful with him- getting crap after 70 mins suggests he’ll need to be managed up to full match fitness.

[lamonti]

Number 6 role sorted for the next 17 seasons.

[lamonti]

"The Badger."

Have also been referring to him as Stef the Badger.

[LiamG]

What a player we have on our hands

[Ycuzz]

Was honestly excited to see him in the line-up. That midfield was the one I wanted for this match, (didn't dare post that in the pred thread tho, grr).

Not gonna go into comparisons with other/former players. He's his own, but there are things in there we've seen before - good things, and I'm all in for the ride. And yes, fuck it, keep playing him.

Couple of things tho. Hopefully we'll not fall in that classic trap of pinning "all our hopes" on a young lad.. again. And, as I believe I saw mentioned here, I too miss a bit more zip to some of his passes and also a sliiight more urgency from his movement.

Also, also;

[...]thrown into the wolves and came out wearing a fur coat [...]

Nice.

"The Badger."

[Hedley Lamarr]

Bajcetic's mobility freed up Thiago, it was the latters best game for a while because he could roam, he didn't have to worry about Fabinho and Henderson being static.  Bajcetic still has a lot to work on but he's done more than enough to be ahead of at least one of Henderson or Fabinho.  Very impressive last night, and every time he's played actually.

[BCCC]

What a talent, world beater in the making.

[na fir dearg]

Please start him against Chelsea

[Crosby Nick]

"The Badger."

He’s a real threat from sett pieces.

[jepovic]

Not sure either, but definitely more than so far

[Cusamano]

Looks great but we'be been here before many a time.

Remember Damien Plessis to name one. Pinned all our hopes on him.

Lad needs time

Did we pin all our hopes on him?!

Seem to remember he played well at Arsenal in between the Champions League games with them. And had a couple of other promising games. Seemed like a decent understudy option to Masch/Xabi/Lucas and then started the first league game of 08/09 and was subbed off for Xabi at half time and never really seen again. Is that about right?

I guess there were probably similar hopes that he’d be a viable senior option but I’d say Klopp has more trust in the Badger than Rafa probably did in Plessis. We’ll see. Certainly now got himself into the position where no one will mind too much if they see his name on the team sheet.

[Bergersrightwingviews]

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.

Yeah. Not worried about it. He just needs more time to get used to the pace of first team games.

yeah maybe pinning all hopes on him is an exaggeration

But we hyped him up and many saw him as a successor to Masch

I'm with Nick on this. He had one barnstorming game against Arsenal and then that was it. I don't recall him doing anything particularly impressive after that and don't recall much hype around him either,

[Redsnappa]

Daft question from old boy department here 

How do you get the squiggles and accents on the lad's surname?

If you're on a phone then you can probably hold down the C key and you should get options for different versions of 'C'.

There's some combinations of Alt + numbers you can press to do the same on a PC, but I can't actually get them to work, so probably just copy and paste them...

Thanks emi, I'm on a PC so I'll google it. I got how to do Mané's name after a while, so will work it out eventually.

He's got everything, it's up to him
