This young man needs a Player Thread! Fantastic performance last night.

Sorry mods I’ve called him Connor by accident! Please edit!!

He's probably even worthy of a thread with the right name... 

whos this guy, is it tylers bro ?

Think we might see a bit of this lad between now and mid Jan

I like the look of him to

He looks like a great prospect for the future. Would certainly like to see him getting more exposure this season and will be a great backup option for when Fab needs a break or gets injured and being 9 years younger would eventually be his replacement as well.

Very excited for his future.

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.'"

Looks like Morton was suppose to go on loan to Blackburn but deal on hold assuming because of the injury to Ox.

A deal had been agreed between Rovers and Liverpool which would see the 19-year-old spend the season at Ewood Park.

However, it is understood that a move is on hold, for now at least, due to injuries within the Liverpool squad.

Will do him the world of good.

It should be a good move. Hopefully he'll emulate Elliott and not Clarkson.

Signed a long term deal today. He's done well on his loan, I've watched him bunch. He looks good in Blackburn. Would love for them to get promoted and let him play for another season with them.

Still not sure if he will ever be a regular here, but time will tell.

Doing well there. Another decent show today against Leicester. All good experience

We can't catch a break can't we? Even those away from the club get injured. On the bright side, he at least got what is, almost a full season of regular playing time unlike a player like Sepp who got injured just when he was starting to perform well.

Hopefully he's ready for preseason as he is one of those I wanted to watch

Unlucky for the lad, but he will be back for pre-season.

Is he still injured? I think we haven't seen him in preseason, right?

Was due to start training end of august

Wonder if he's going to stay or leave on another loan. I was looking forward to seeing him in preseason but it sadly did not turn out this way.

I think because he hasn’t played pre season he will go on loan until Jan

Why till Jan . Do.you expect him to come back and slot into first team ?

Potentially- guess will depend on how he goes but think the initial loan will be to Jan

Goal for U21s against N.Ireland was very nice

Kids a player. I see him having a role to play with us next season. He's too good for the Championship

My Dad was saying same earlier, said he was impressive during Norwich - Hull match

Seen his goal?

Top corner with his left foot from about 25 yards out.

Your dad is dead on. He looks like he can play anywhere in the mid and he has a cracking shot at distance. Weak foot banger. Good on set pieces too

No, got to be honest don't watch much of the Championship stuff.

*Just seen the you tube vid posted of his goal, cheers mate

Other than Liverpool, I watch no prem games. I love the Championship. My favorite league. In the States we get 4 or 5 games a week on ESPN+.

ESPN+ is actually great value.

You get the Championship, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, NHL, tennis grand slams, etc for a few dollars a month.

Got to admit been enjoying a fewer of the lower league 2 and National league stuff, some decent footy without all the prem level bullshit.
