Thought he was excellent last night after a couple of poorer performances recently.
Yeah I’d agree there, I think he’s a wonderful footballer, a player who will add the cream to the top of your overall play, he sees things others don’t, never takes unnecessary touches, wins a surprising amount in the air and will in time only add to us as a team
Not surprising really that with the whole team struggling of late, the lack of confident movement in front of him added to the fact he missed three months on the back of a horror challenge that he’s not hit the ground running
I do believe that even he has been surprised by the pace of the game over here though and that has added to his slow ish start to his Liverpool career. The manager has recently started playing him higher up in the midfield because he’s certainly never been used to being turned around so much and having players run off of his shoulder at Bayern or Barca.
He could play the six here once Virgil and Joe are back at CB as they have that added pace to cover him
But yes far better last night and he will only improve once we have players back
