Fair. But considering our current predicament, we would have used him as a 6, I reckon.

I think we have made a definite decision for him to play as an 8 because he simply isn't good enough in the air to play as a 6 in a Klopp side.

Bajcetic is a centre-back encouraged to play as a 6.

Ansolutely critical to the way that Klopp wants to play the game is that the 6 has to drop in between the centre back when the counter press is beaten. The six makes it three at the back. If you go three at the back then the central player in the three has to be aerially dominant.

It has to be that way because one of your usual centre-backs will typically be drawn out to defend the channels. The other will cover the back post and the 6 will be up against their 9.

Thought he looked pretty good. Shame he didn't put a bit more welly on his shot on goal, would have been nice for him to get off the mark.

Think he really means business though and will develop into a proper handy player

Let's get him bedded in.

18 or not, would he really be doing a worse job than Fabinho currently?

He definitely can’t and at least he’ll be able to move around the pitch and cover some ground.

Play him in the starting lineup till the break.

Trent came in young and made the RB spot his own. He’s 18, it’s not like throwing a 15 year old in with men. He cannot, genuinely cannot, be any worse than what we’re playing there and I’d say it’d be tough for him not to be considerably better

Stefan Bajcetic Maquieira

Name alone deserves a chance to start.

He should get Napoli and Derby at least. Performs well and it might get him the Southampton game.

You know things are bad when this lad is meant to be our saviour. He may be a good player but I suspect it will be more throwing fresh meat to the wolves more than anything.

Don't think anyone sees him as a saviour in fairness. More a case of can't possibly be any worse than what Fabinho is producing currently.

I haven't seen a fall from grace as spectacular as Fabinho since Torres after the 2010 world cup

He played an hour for the u-21 yesterday at WHU,we were 3-0 up when he got subbed out.

tubby · « **Reply #133 on:** October 30, 2022, 05:19:52 pm »

I'd definitely give him a start against Napoli, if only to rest some of our midfield legs. But I would be amazed if he's starting any games of consequence for us this season.

Nice little cameo from him.

Looks very well accomplished especially considering his age.

Tackles well, calm on the ball spreads it around nicely.

Maybe lacking a bit of pace but future is definitely bright for this lad.

Straight after the goal one of their guys was annoyed and looking to land a foul, and they then managed to win the ball on the back of that pressure. Kostas was exposed in behind, and Bajcetic just tidily tucks in behind and snuffs the counter before it even looked dangerous. Right as the crowd were up and while Napoli were trying to respond with high intensity. Great moment, bodes well.

tubby · « **Reply #140 on:** November 1, 2022, 10:13:12 pm »

Should definitely get a start against Derby but I still think he's a year or two off getting into our first team squad on a consistent basis. Struggled a little with the pace of the game tonight, but when he did have a little time, you could see his quality.

Don't think it's particularly harsh, he's, what, 18? Playing against one of the top teams in Europe, who were snapping into tackles, there's nothing wrong with him needing more games to adjust to that sort of match.

phil236849 · « **Reply #145 on:** November 1, 2022, 10:43:12 pm »

I just don’t think he struggled with the pace of it. I thought he did well. It was a bit frenetic with them coming onto us and I thought he showed resistance. We can agree to disagree!

I’m with you, he didn’t struggle with the pace of the game at all. Thought he fitted in quite nicely.

Yep, 'Buy-Chet-Itch'. Based on my experience of the language and the region his family originally hail from, that's how I'd pronounce it, and how the CL commentator pronounced it.

But I've heard lots of people opting for 'Batch-a-tich' - so many that I wondered whether his family had taken on an odd pronunciation at some point.

Thanks for the vid. Hadn't seen that before.

I am sure that you have played football competitively at some stage.

You can't be at the same rhythm of the match as players who have had 60mins + of playing.

Warming up on the touchline is not the same as actually getting into the pace of the game.

He is bound to be slower

Yeah, it's very common here (Australia) for people from Eastern Europe to anglicise the pronunciation of their names for us dummies, even really basic stuff like pronouncing -ic as "ick". My BIL and niece+nephew have a lovely Polish surname that has been turned into something that sounds like a sex organ. It's very annoying to a wannabe linguist like me!

StL-Dono · « **Reply #152 on:** November 2, 2022, 02:47:32 am »

I wouldn't say he struggled with the pace of play at all. If there's anything to criticize him about is he did get muscled off the ball a couple times. I wouldn't think that's too uncommon for a slender 18 year old. Seems like he's going to be a valuable player to get some good minutes and give Thiago and Fabinho some spells of rest.

If he's still around in three years is there the potential he could be a sure starter? I would think so just based on the small sample size so far. He looks a player.

CanuckYNWA · « **Reply #153 on:** November 2, 2022, 05:21:51 am »

Thought he was quite good when he came on, broke up play a couple times with some well timed tackles or interceptions. Played calm under pressure and some good passes

I assume he will start vs Derby and looking forward to seeing him for a prolonged period of time in a senior game. Hes got the build and technique to be quite the midfielder which could save us a few quid if he progresses nicely. Morton looks a decent talent I think Bajcectic has an even higher ceiling potential than him
