But I think it's premature to even consider him in a starting 11 let alone replacing Youri. I'd prefer madders in that no10 role ideally. I think it is reasonable to think he could start in cup games / possibly weaker teams in Europa, how else is he going to get a go As for replacing Youri he is probably the closest player in style we have to him and his role, realistically we are probably screwed whoever has to play in that role if Youri gets injured anyway With Youri being an 8, although Maddison claims he likes/wants to be an 8 I just dont see it, he thrives and causes damage in between the lines of midfield and defence as a 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think Sporting binned Pereira off to West Brom as they had Raphina so would be surprised if he went there and had to compete with him again.

I do like him I the no.10 because he isn't the most adventurous at tracking back and he may provide some better free kicks around the D area. If love to see KDH in cup games and hopefully some EL games and test his mettle and see what he brings. If leicester weren't on last year I'd stream luton just to watch him as I have done to Knight and Hirst etc (although the latter wasn't on very often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team I'm seeing is the one who looks great early in the season and can dominate when everyone is available to fill their assigned role, and breaks down into plodding, unwatchable football when the players run out of legs and the manager runs out of ideas. Rodgers has coached the imagination and improvization out of most of his players, and it's only when ones with enough natural ability to showcase their genius at a key moment and the instinct to break predictability (like Tielemans in the Cup final) break out of it that we've done anything at all in the final month of the last two seasons. Are you aware we have finished below 5th in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an easy move for the player to make too, I love his creativity, he's a technician type winger that Rodgers loves rather than an out and out pace merchant. I reckon so too. Makes sense and shouldn’t cost the Earth as WBA will need to ship him off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
