Lazar Markovic (Liverpool > Fulham)

Toure put in the best performance of any defensive player all season for us against Madrid.  He then got dropped.

There's no reason to think Markovic will start against the Mancs.

It's pretty clear that no matter how good you are, you're not guaranteed a spot, and no matter how sh*te you play, you're not going to be dropped.

I think Lazar is adapting to Rodgers style. He looks more confident on the ball and is starting to make those bursting runs from deep he so often did with Benfica. When it all comes together this kid is going to be a beast. Hope he starts tomorrow.

Am I really going to say this...
I think he might start Lazar on Sun, and I might almost agree.
There, I said it.
Show us something Lazar, we need someone to.

I'd leave him on the bench, has had a good impact whilst coming off the bench last few games.

He's talented, pity about the queens-wave red card but he came on and played better than everyone who was on the pitch in the first half and second (attacking players obviously).

Funny how the complete "waste of money" is now  being looked to as a potential saviour.
I've always believed the Markovic was a good buy, the price tag seemed a bit heavy, but if he plays for 10 years with us that 20 million won't seem such a big deal.

Lazar needs game time , preferably with Coutinho alongside him

hes not a bad player,just needs some more play time

I'd leave him on the bench, has had a good impact whilst coming off the bench last few games.

guess theres some logic in that,looks like hes a bit more fired up when he comes in as a sub

Our most potent attacker today even though he was left back

Markovic is going to be a fantastic player for us

Peach of a pass to Balotelli ...

he wasnt bad today,he deserves more play time

Markovic is going to be a fantastic player for us

I'd like to see him establish himself first as a first-team player.

Small steps and all that.

Given the chance

Not sure what happened to him early doors, short of being a new kid in a strange land, but he's started showing he has ability. I don't think he's an impact player either, at least not judging by his performance against Madrid

Thought he was excellent when he came on yesterday but the damage was done by then.

He is going to be brilliant I have no doubt about that.

Looks like he is finding his feet here, needs a run in the team now to see what he can offer over the course of a few games as we've only seen brief 15 minute cameos so far.

Promising signs though for sure.

The difference was... the striker.

And the goalkeeper.

I loved Markovic last season at Benfica. I watched most of their Europa League matches and one or two league matches and he was superb.

this guy is a good player,BR just needs to show a lil bit more faith in his abillitys and to give him some more play time

thats what i was talking about
give him time,show him trust and he will deliver
well done boy

Kept his composure well, a lot of players would have ended up blasting it well off target

Well in tonight Lazar, outstanding work rate and some beautiful play.

Once this lad's confidence is up he's gonna be one hell of a hard player to stop.

MotM easily for me tonight, good stuff more of the same against the gunners please.

A pass volley into the net from 18 yards out?
