Agree on Markovic, he hasn't shown any glimpses of the alleged potential

It irks me sometimes reading this thread tbh. Suso has a good showing as an impact sub in a league cup game, against non elite opposition, and all of a sudden the chap deserves a place on the bench at the expense of Markovic.

Who is 20.

Who we just signed.

Who has barely got a look in.

Who is coming here highly rated in Europe.

I don't want to be harsh, but Suso has had plenty of opportunity already and is seemingly angling for a move to Milan on a free.

While we've only just signed Markovic and is someone who very much needs time, nurturing and patience.

So can some of you please relax on the knee jerk for once and look at the bigger picture; which is clearly the development of Markovic.

Poppy-cock. People are giving their first impressions of an expensive summer signing, there is no knee-jerkery involved.

Whatever about his contract status, Suso is on our books and can do a better job than some of his team mates so should be picked on merit.

Likewise I would like to see Markovic less in the first team until he looks strong enough mentally and physically. Throwing him in now, while the team is in a mini-slump, is not going to serve him well in the "bigger picture".

On Mignolet, one of my biggest concerns is that he is glued to his line. Rarely you will see him come far off it and properly clear the ball out from danger.

If only he had stuck to his line against Ludogorets we wouldn't have needed a last second penalty

Rogers likes pace in front of his midfield, Suso isnt particularly quick.

In Rogers set up, were would he play ideally? Not even sure. I can see him settling in to a slower transitioning Milan team. He's a very neat footballer with a good finish, but I dont think he carries the ball well enough or moves quickly enough over the ground for BR.

Is he that much slower than Lalana and Coutinho? To be honest I can see Suso moving more into a number 8 role as he progresses. Think he spent most of his time on the wings cutting in last season though. Open to correction there.

Anyone writing Markovich off at this early stage is crazy. The lad needs plenty of time to develop and I am sure he will get it. But people at the start of the season expecting him to slot straight into the starting 11 were being overly optimistic.

Suso not quick? Can't agree with that.

He played a role in Rodgers' 1st season and was then sent on loan to push on in his development. Going by Rodgers' business in the Summer, it seems Rodgers feels Suso didn't do that. And again, this is a play that seemingly wants out.

Wants out because he isn't getting any game time. Maybe he doesn't try a leg in training or something, I just don't think he has been given any decent run in the 1st team to be happy to see him go.

Has he started even one league game for us?

Lots of the things you are defending Markovic over apply to Suso too. It's 18 months or so before last night that he last played competitively for us, he's only 20, he's highly rated, and more importantly contributed well on the pitch last night.

I strongly disagree that he has had plenty of chances.

Exactly, he was shipped out on loan while players like Aspas and Alberto who are no better where brought in. Suso is one player I would have liked to have seen on the bench last season.

At 20, I believe he hasn't been given a proper go in this squad.

[Deleted User]

Suso should be kept. He never has had a proper chance. Selling him after sending him on loan to develop would be just stupid.

Give the lad a chance.

Mignolet in the past few games has made a few quality saves. This appears to be overlooked quite a bit.
People also claim he is shakey on crosses. I've no stats, but I'd say on the majority of crosses, he cathes or gets a fist to it.
One occassion last night, he made a fine save, but instead of pushing it wide, pushed it forward.

Compare this to Cortoius, supposedly the greatest keeper ever, we've only conceeded one more goal in the league that Chelsea so far.

Interesting statistic regarding Manquilo. There are 2,000km between where he was playing in Madrid to where he is now, Liverpool. Since he's started playing for Liverpool, Manquilo has covered ground of 2,000km on the pitch. In theory, that covers the price of his flight over for me. Amazing statistic imo. On and up from here for the young lad!

Selling Suso without giving him a proper run is idiotic. Few youngsters have impressed me in the academy in recent years as much as Suso. He has every bit of talent to follow Sterling and probably Ibe into the first team.

Hes positioning and footwork is suspect. Third goal against Man City, first goal last night and the goal v west ham from the free kick. He was either in the wrong position, or didnt move his feet fast enough. He was rooted to his line last nite when the defensive line was around the penalty spot. He should have been further out for me to give him a chance of claiming the cross

Most of the saves he has made you would expect a keeper to save, I cant think of any one outstanding top drawer save this season

At home to Southampton, point blank that he pushed onto the bar late in the game.

According to Marca, Sterling already has one foot in Madrid. As Manquillo ran past Sterling, he passed both Sterling's feet, therefore he ran to Madrid.

Nope, can't make any sense of it.
