Look at Klopp's grin when asked about Morton (2nd question)

Where did this kid come from?
Sheesh, he's going to be something special.

Composure, technique and football IQ.

And he's NINETEEN!!!

Thought he was good vs Porto but he kinda played within himself.

He was really pinging some beautiful passes around today.

Coolie High · « **Reply #85 on:** December 8, 2021, 01:00:22 am »

He plays a bit like Carrick, a bit like Busquets and has the same style/gait as Didi Hamann

, not a bad player to come from your academy.

The comms on DAZN (no clue who they were) both said they see a lot of young Stevie in him.

I think he's pretty damn remarkable but ffs I don't want these idiots setting the bar so high for a teenager. You can see him being asked about it in his first media interviews already.

I had the same commentators on my stream, to be fair they said he carried himself like Gerrard, and qualified it by saying if he ended up being half as good, 1/3 as good or even 1/10 as good a player as Gerrard he'd be something special.

Ah, yes you're right, they did walk it back. I forgot that bit.

Lets hope for an FA cup run and more league cup games because I really want to see more of him. He's so composed on the ball, his passing is very elegant and he seems to understand the 6 position. Given that our senior midfielders are all at peak age or out the other side of peak age there's a massive opportunity (and need actually) for younger players to come into the midfield setup. We've probably already saved ourselves £10s of millions with Elliot and Jones, we may be about to save ourselves a long term Fabinho successor with Morton... although perhaps I'm getting a little carried away!

He knows ball

He had Milan in the mud

He washed them

He finished them

Xavi step outside

There are levels to this game

To learn from Billy Gilmour?

Is he still playing at Norwich. Is he doing ok there?

Morton certainly looks promising. May start one, maybe three League Cup games and an Fa Cup game or two in the next couple of months.

Quite a collection of midfielders in his way in terms of picking up League minutes but long term he looks really promising.

And he's actually an 8? He's so at home as a 6. What kind of 8 is he going off his youth games?

I missed the game due to being stuck on a delayed train (grrr!) but the radio comms were purring about Morton too. Might try to watch it on catch-up just to see his performance.

He's well placed to take Milner's place in the squad when he hangs his boots up. A couple of seasons ago Curtis Jones got all the cup games and that's where Morton's at this season and getting two CL games is a real boost for him as well.

Capable of getting PL minutes as well, particularly with midfield injuries this season.

That won't make the "FSG out/net spend" folks real happy.

I guess it's a question of whether he goes the Curtis/Trent route or the Harvey route. Either he stays and trains with the team and gets some cup games or goes on loan to potentially get some league games. Will be interesting to see what happens with him as he certainly looks a promising player.
