      That maybe so but we all know Premier league different standard to any other league, a lot harder too.

      Of course there are certain things that need coaching and he will need to adapt and he is only young but as its a try before you buy he will need to learn quick

      First game, I know, but I hope he's quicker than what i seen in the last quarter of an hour and that it was down to fitness.

      I think the pace in our league faster than any other league.

      Issue was not Kabak's pace, but lack of confidence in tackling Barnes.
      Liverpool was caught in a counter-attack with Kabak not positioned ideally.
      https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EuIFeZ2UUAIEk9a?format=jpg&name=medium

      Still, he and Henderson run backwards (TAA, Thiago don't) and Kabak gets into a position to tackle Barnes, but he didn't attempt the tackle, slows down and just lets Barnes finish.
      After the 2:1 for Leicester he would've never attempted the tackle on Barnes maybe risking a penalty.
      When he has settled in and has the confidence he'd have done the tackle on Barnes.

      Look at 2:30

      Just watching it back I’m staggered if people think it’s his fault for the goal. If alisson doesn’t get involved he just clears it away. It’s miles out of the box. I’ve absolutely no idea what alisson is doing.

      And the third doesn’t look great, but it’s sh*te from everyone, doesn’t help when salah plays a sh*te ball across the middle of the pitch.

      Not sure if Kabak gets to it right away but he is definitely in a position to close Vardy down. Alisson had no business trying to play that ball, but if he's going to commit himself like that, yell out at the top of your lungs so there's no confusion and punt that ball into the top row. Just a continuation of his horrible performance against City.

      He must do better and he will, I am sure of it.

      Kabak injects himself insulin in half-time
      Kabak is a diabetic, so he has to supply his body with insulin again and again. The Turkish national player measures his blood sugar level using an app on his smartphone, which is held to a sensor attached to his upper arm.

      Loved how he would come forward with the ball.. 👏🏼

      Once Klopp moulds him he will be a pillar at the back..

      Very small for a centre half, for the premier league. Looked the same height as Robbo. Played well but in the PL will he be hammerred in the air?

      Really like this kid I think there is a huge amount of raw potential still to harness. You can see he has all the ability to be a top CB, good positioning and awareness, stong in the air, good passer, physical. He lacks a bit of pace, and sometimes plays it too safe passing back to the keeper, but that will improve as his confidence grows in the team.

      He's 6ft 1 which is just below the average height if a PL centre back so not that small.

      6'1 !! Looks like he might have added an inch or 2 to his profile 😄

      1.86m so is 1cm taller than Carragher, can't recall Carragher struggling in the Prem ;-)

      BTW he's only 7 cm shorter than Virgil.


      I thought he had a very good game yesterday, he will form a good partnership with Fabinho for the rest of the season. Would be good to also bring in Nat or Davies as his partner as well, so that we can release Hendo back into midfield.

      Early days, but did ok. Composure seems good, which is a big thing. Actually looks quite a similar player to Phillips - a bit smoother looking in his movement, but maybe quite a similar type of CB.

      I know it's early days but he looks way off this level.

      Slow, clumsy and bullied in the air.

      Got to remember only 20 but is rash but I think Phillips is as well surely Davies needs looking at 25 Yr Old plenty of experience  what have we to lose

      Imo Nat has always showed himself well on the pitch. Nat seems wise enough to know what he is and what he isn't. Klopp has to go with him now
