Ben Doak Player Thread (F)

I thought his cameo last night deserves a thread as I think he has the raw ingredients to become a top player.
Loved his ability to step off both feet and has a turn of pace.

One definitely to look out for in the future.

Spoke to a fellow red after the game who was in the stadium and asked did he look as good as he did on TV? It was a resounding yes.

Honestly, I don't think I have been that impressed from a youngster making a first appearance as that.

He has a long way of course but I want to see more of him, the way he swivels the hips and moves his feet only reminds me of one other and he is arguably the GOAT.

Excited to say the least.

Knew of him coming through at Celtic and was over the moon when we nabbed him.

Been lapping up him playing for the youngsters on LFCTv - htg against Napoli there were 2 mins on clock and he had ripped both full backs a new one.

I didnt have access to see Fowler / Gerrard or Owen at that age but this lad is the best Ive seen. More rounded and not solely reliant on pure pace like Sterling.

Honestly think this is lad is a £200m+ embryo.....I just hope we never sell him.

What I liked about him is he seemed to not realize how young he is and that he wasn't supposed to be so confident. That will serve him well. It's how Trent use to play. Bit of fire there. Be keeping my eye on this one.

Heard a lot about him from a Celtic mate who said he remind him of Bale as a kid


He was bright , confident and happy to go at his players. Got a bright future

To have senior appearances for both Celtic and Liverpool at 16 years of age says it all really. Been plenty of promising youngsters through this club, some make it and some don’t. Excited to see what happens with him.

He stood out enough for me and my mum to go wth did that youngster just do well we never said that we looked at each other and went wtf, wont get my hopes up though, cool to see a player I wasn't even aware of have some magic about him though can only be a positive. I won't go too romantic about the game against Derby, even though it was respect worthy, the effort, it still wasn't massively impressive or anything, just keeping grounded about it, the players who played in that game should be played in the league cup as their personal goal, they earned it. Is right Doak  well done I mean like he came on last ten minutes? Lets not get carried away. Cool though.

Seemingly he is staying with the 1st team squad now.

One of the few positives tonight, hopefully he gets more time earlier in games esp if Mo carry’s on being a passenger most games.

That pesky goalscoring passenger?

Doak for Salah. Wowsers.

There's so many other players to aim at before Mo.

Mad.

Missed a trick by not starting him instead of Ox in recent games.

Player in there for sure.

Coming off the bench when everyone else tired different than starting.  Let's not put to much pressure on him

Not overawed one bit. Gets the ball and wants to go at players.

Has the speed that Elliot lacks

Looks like a threat everytime he is on the ball, really don't know if he is right footed or left footed or not .

Thought they should have started Cavalho instead of Ox.

Kid socres a goal, hasn't been seen since.

Poor man's Ben Doak mate.

Played 45 minutes v spurs under 21s yesterday as well as Curtis Jones, Jürgen was watching apparently. Be surprised if he figures in the youth cup game on Wednesday

Hence the photo of him with the Adidas coat and Yankees baseball cap.

Yep, he's taking aim at Henry etc!

They all forget Klopp's a trendy cat.

Bring him more...and instead of Salah who is not of much use now. At least Doak brings in some naughtyness.

The fact he's 17 makes that phrase sound so wrong!!

Hope he is fine. He was floored after head to head clash.

Gett well soon.

Didn't look well at all, glad there was no messing about and they just took him off.

Get well soon, Ben. I haven't seen the incident, but it sounds pretty awful.

I saw it on Dailymail. 'Normal' head to head but a clash is always a clash. Landed on his feet but immediately went down holding his head.

Missed the second half of yesterday's game. Anybody watched it and could tell us how he did?

He's Robbo mark two isn't he, he's got that tenacity in him that Robbo's got, I love watching him and boy is he fast or what !!

He might only be small but he is powerful, strong and has youth on his side, he's gonna be one hell of a player.

He is going to be a star , can expect to see him starting the cup games this season and also some cameos

Gonna be an absolute Superstar for us I reckon.

Yep he’s a typical Scotsman takes no sh*t off of anyone & we’ve had plenty of those over the decades at our great club.

Haven't we just Jim, from Big Ron Yeats to Kenny, Souey and Jockey and now with Robbo and Ben, the club is in good hands.

This lad looks some prospect, and under Klopp....

Best attacking prospect since Owen

Best attacking prospect since Owen

Really hope that Klopp give him time in the cups and Europa League.

Love him. Said when we signed him he was special.

Would have zero problem with a loan for him - truth be told it could be better - but selfiahly i really wanna see him play in red......

Bums off seats merchant this kid

Really hope that Klopp give him time in the cups and Europa League.

Will possibly play some league games as well don't forget about Afcon

He's got 7 starts guaranteed until Christmas (more if we progress in the League Cup) and I can see him getting minutes in the league too so we can protect Salah a bit.

Keep him and review things in January.

He will enter for some minutes however I would swap Diaz's side for January only.

Nice one....
I wish him many happy and successful years at Liverpool FC.....

What great news this is, this lad has a massive future ahead of him as long as he keeps his feet on the ground and with Jürgen Klopp guiding him he won't go far wrong, well done Ben, richly deserved.

Just imagine how that must feel...His family must be so proud.

Hope to see him get about 30 minutes tomorrow

Played well again. unlucky when he smashed tut bar.

The lad is a bit raw at the moment, undoubtedly there is an abundance of talent there, give it time the lad will be really special to us,so unlucky when his shot hit the bar. Another superstar in the making.

Ben scored the 3rd goal for Scotland u21’s tonight from the spot.

Feel sorry for Bens misfortune really. This moment could be the biggest opportunity for him (and all kids who unfortunately got injure).
