Best player on the pitch today, should be in the first team week in week out now, no excuses.

£8m? Daylight robbery. £50m for Danilo and we get this last for £8m. MoTM today. Solid defensively and good going forward.

Man of the match today for me

Purple Red · « **Reply #243 on:** August 19, 2017, 04:55:03 pm »

Superb lad. Well done.

SMASHerano · « **Reply #244 on:** August 19, 2017, 04:56:35 pm »

Alongside Mane, our best 2 players today

Son of Spion · « **Reply #245 on:** August 19, 2017, 04:56:51 pm »

Thought he was excellent today.

DanA · « **Reply #246 on:** August 19, 2017, 04:56:54 pm »

Hope he's playing Champions League in the home leg against Hoffenheim, he looked very assured.

Djimi Smicer34 · « **Reply #247 on:** August 19, 2017, 04:58:30 pm »

Deserves to stay in the starting eleven for me based on how well he played today.

He was excellent, looks a very shrewd bit of business by the club to get him for the money we paid.

wellred82 · « **Reply #248 on:** August 19, 2017, 04:58:55 pm »

Must admit I wasn't that excited when we signed him. If today's performance is anything to go by he's going to well for us. Should be starting ahead of Moreno imo.

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #249 on:** August 19, 2017, 04:59:25 pm »

Can't remember the last full back who have put those types of crosses in. Didn't have much to defensively but what he did have he did well.

No two footed tackles or Kung fu kicks in sight, never got the wrong side. He needs a run of games now.

imnofreak · « **Reply #250 on:** August 19, 2017, 04:59:55 pm »

Good debut. Very positive, his balls forward didn't always find their mark but love the positivity. Excellent left foot and great positional awareness. Going to be a good player to have.

Let's not exaggerate. He's good, but he isn't world class going forwards or anything. But a solid and worthy upgrade on his predecessors in that position.

LallanaInPyjamas · « **Reply #252 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:01:10 pm »

As I expected, think he's going to be a really decent player for us. Just so much calmer than most of what we've had at the back in recent years and a lovely delivery on him too.

Neither is Danilo world class.

What does a world class attacking full back look like? He should have had two assists if it wasn't for our bad finishing.

Did you even read what he put?! I don't see a mention of world class anywhere. Comparing to Danilo is pointless though, he's shit and Madrid couldn't wait to see the back of him.

I liked how much closer to the byline he was when crossing than our full backs usually are

Bread · « **Reply #257 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:02:52 pm »

He's linking up with Mane,Firmino and Milner like he's played here for years. That can only bode well.

gjr1 · « **Reply #258 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:02:58 pm »

Great debut... going to be tough to drop him now

MrRaptorTurtle · « **Reply #259 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:03:18 pm »

Had a brilliant debut! Swung about 8 fantastic crosses in, would love to see him and TAA being our fullbacks this season.

SweetLeftFoot · « **Reply #260 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:04:03 pm »

Right near the end of the game, Palace played a ball forward for their right-back to get forward which was just out of Robertson's reach. Moreno would've dived in and left the flank exposed but Robertston stayed on his feet, caught up with the player and made the block for the ball to go out of play. A very solid debut.

sms1986 · « **Reply #261 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:04:54 pm »

Very impressive today, some were questioning why we were buying a player from Hull earlier in the season, but looks like it's a very good deal for us so far!

RF · « **Reply #262 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:04:57 pm »

Hmm, think I must have been watching another game. Yet another LB who stands 10 feet away from his attacker. Still...early days yet.

Rattleduser · « **Reply #263 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:05:27 pm »

boss debut

Redcap · « **Reply #264 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:06:02 pm »

He has a wicked cross on him, doesn't he? Should be first choice for the time being.

killer-heels · « **Reply #265 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:06:47 pm »

Thought the positions he took up was more impressive than his crossing. That bodes well for our combination play once we get Coutinho back and they link up with Mane.

campioni · « **Reply #266 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:06:47 pm »

He looked a bit nervous at first but that's understandable. Quickly got over it and put over some cracking crosses which Mane and Matip should've scored from. He didn't really have much to do defensively today.

DTRed · « **Reply #267 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:09:13 pm »

Great debut from the lad. Reminded a little of Finnan in that he does what he's supposed to do. No nonsense in defence and the ability to get down the pitch when the opportunity arises.

Top signing.

elbow · « **Reply #268 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:09:52 pm »

Excellent debut. I thought Milner sort of looked after him in the second half. Great to see.

Why would we want to be positive about as good a defensive debut as we've had in a long time, eh?

Impressed by Robertson well done.

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #271 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:13:10 pm »

A textbook example of why people shouldn't judge a player by his price tag or club. I said in the transfer threads that I'd more than happy signing him based off what I saw when he played for Hull. Looks a solid buy

Scott0908 · « **Reply #272 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:13:37 pm »

good today, nice seeing a left back not doing mad shit.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #273 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:14:04 pm »

A perfect balance of fullback who knows how to make runs,link up going forward but also defend. He doesn't have to be world class, as long as he plays like that, he will be immense

jepovic · « **Reply #274 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:15:56 pm »

His great crosses are a bit wasted with the attack we started with today. He would have been great with benteke. Maybe Solanke could convert them.
His defense was a bit suspicious, but overall a great debut.

Haggis36 · « **Reply #275 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:16:03 pm »

Was very good today, has to have earned his place for Wednesday. I was actually quite impressed with his decision making today, which is rare for a Liverpool LB. Remains to be seen how he'll play against a team actually wanting to play football but promising signs!

vinothmct · « **Reply #276 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:17:24 pm »

It was a good performance from him.

I remember raving here on moreno and manquilo after initial games. I expect moreno to start on wednesday. He is needed for the counter attacks

Adeemo · « **Reply #277 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:17:55 pm »

Comfortably MOTM, impressive from start to finish.

Rattleduser · « **Reply #278 on:** August 19, 2017, 05:19:56 pm »

would be crazy not to start him midweek

from what we have seen he offers as much threat going forward as moreno and defensively sound

I'll be surprised if he does, Klopp will have these things mapped out and Moreno will come back in.
