Bit of banter and a bit early for this I know but who if any has been the stand out player for Liverpool this season so far? Personally I can't pick out anybody. With injuries, the changing of manager and systems it's damm hard picking anyone. Just for the craic guys so take it easy lol.
05 Feb 2016 14:00:21
Firmino/ Toure probably. slim pickings.
05 Feb 2016 14:02:16
Jesus. That's really depressing but you're right. I'm going to pick Ibe. Mainly because he is a young lad who albeit hasn't been exceptionally but also has shown signs of improvement in his game despite his current bumpy patch. He has played a lot of games with the massive pressure of having to replace Sterling and he's done admirably in my opinion age considered.
3 goals and 3 assists puts him right up there with Milner, Lallana, Coutinho, Benteke and Firmino who are all older and far more experienced in senior football. They've also played more minutes of football. So Ibe for me. Purely because he's met expectations. Sterling got 2 goals and 4 assists in his first season as a regular and Ibe is well on course to beat that whilst everyone else is underperforming in terms of what is expected of them.
05 Feb 2016 14:06:21
Lucas.
05 Feb 2016 14:21:23
Lucas
Lovren has improved
Ibe.
05 Feb 2016 14:24:01
Hard one as no one has been consistent.
Though lovren has improved and ings shown for a few games who could be a really good buy.
05 Feb 2016 14:26:01
Ibe's been a bit disappointing for me, talented and young so it's entirely forgivable but he hasn't crossed the ball well, beaten players or scored goals.
I'd say Firmino, Llalana, Clyne or Lucas have been most reliably decent for me (no one's really shone) but all these have still had their highs and lows.
05 Feb 2016 14:29:37
Yeah Lucas for me.
05 Feb 2016 14:45:17
Lovern for me. Purely because he has improved a fair bit.
05 Feb 2016 14:48:11
Has to be Skrtel for me - he hasn't been at fault for a single goal since Christmas!
Seriously though, it hard to pick one player although I'm enjoying seeing some players improve as the season progresses. Can, Firmino and even Allen have all improved.
05 Feb 2016 14:57:52
I'm torn between Enrique, Mignolet, Benteke and Sturridge.
05 Feb 2016 14:55:37
I will say its Brad Smith for doing so well with limited opportunities.
05 Feb 2016 15:03:25
Good question have to say ibe or just seeing Flanagan back
Up the pool.
05 Feb 2016 15:17:37
Lovren and Lucas.
05 Feb 2016 15:17:48
Would have to say Firmino.
05 Feb 2016 15:42:35
Emre Can, lost a bit of form recently, but generally has been great.
05 Feb 2016 15:48:41
Allen, I've slated him loads but fair play, looks far far better than the other mids right now and seems to get Klopps style best of all.
05 Feb 2016 15:49:49
I absolutely love Lucas but I have to with Lovren cause he has improved.
05 Feb 2016 15:52:49
Questions like this make you realise how bad we've been this year!
05 Feb 2016 15:59:39
Zimbo how are you disappointed in Ibe? I'm not saying you're wrong, just wanna know what you were expecting. He had never scored a goal for us before this season. He got 5 goals in half a season last year for Derby in the Championship. Then he came back and got shafted by Rodgers being made to play right wing back. This year he finally got a chance in his preferred position and he's scored 3 and assisted 3. I mean you could argue that all of his goals have come in cup competitions but one was in Europe and 2 were against Premier League opposition anyway (one of which sent us to Wembley - eventually) .
He has been inconsistent but he's 20 so surely that's allowed? I was torn between Can and Ibe because they're both at similar ages playing their first seasons in premier league football in the preferred positions (as Rodgers wasted them both in defence) . I simply can't think of a senior player who deserves it. Coutinho is still young but he's been playing in the first team for about 3 years so his inconsistency is frustrating still.
05 Feb 2016 17:03:36
Easily Firmino. And he's just getting started.
05 Feb 2016 17:09:08
Joe Allen could steal this if given a few starts to show how much he has improved.
05 Feb 2016 17:21:56
Brannigan.
05 Feb 2016 18:12:04
Glen Johnson.
05 Feb 2016 18:15:36
Flano without a shadow of a doubt, i realy forgot how good he was because the s and s show was kind of dominating the season but back into the side after such a long time out and just class straight away and consistently. I pray Gomez and Ings can have similar impacts.
05 Feb 2016 18:30:07
I really like Ibe, he comes inside now rather than just going outside and his left foot has improved a lot!
He crossing isn't the best, but can easily be improved upon.
Think in a few years if he keeps his head down will grow into a quality player!
05 Feb 2016 19:45:26
Neither Lucar or Ibe have been good this season. Are you guys serious? Ibe doesn't know when to let go of the ball and Lucas is good, but way off pace.
05 Feb 2016 18:59:37
It seems crazy the confidence Lucas has with his freedom to be in more advanced positions.
06 Feb 2016 09:05:53
Allen, Brannigan, Smith, Stewart, Firmino, Flanno.
