Klopp in The Athletic about Tyler Morton. Says he is more of an 8 than a 6 (where he was needed last season when he played with the first team).
"Another name to add to the mix is academy graduate Tyler Morton, who made his full Premier League debut as a holding midfielder away to Tottenham last December after Liverpool had been rocked by a number of positive COVID-19 tests. His role has since evolved.
“We always try to improve, and we can improve internally as well. They can put pressure on the more experienced guys for sure,” adds Klopp.
“By the way, Tyler Morton in training, incredible! He plays as a No 8 now. We don’t force him to play as a controlling No 6 in a Premier League game. He’s training as an eight, and it’s like ‘wow, how good is that?!’ He’s still here.'"
