If he stays injury free he will be one of our best midfielders.
I think he's got a ways to go before that can happen but he has the ability to be our best midfielder in my opinion. BUT for me he needs to:
- Stay fit and get himself a run in the side
- Get used to the speed of the EPL, he still seems to think he has more time on the ball than he actually does
- Look after the ball a little bit better, he can be careless and get the side into trouble
- Track midfield runners (compared to the rest of the middies he is bit lazy in this regard and Klopp won't stomach that so if he wants to play week in week out he'll have to work as hard as the rest)
He has all the ability you could want though, he can see a pass, he can glide past players effortlessly, he's technically excellent and physically he is quite quick, he's mobile and he can shoot. Just needs to stay fit and i'm sure all of the above will sort itself out.
