I genuinely can't get over the amount of people who have already passed judgement on a kid who only just turned 17 at the start of the season. Mind-blowing. He's the most promising young talent we've had in a long, long time.
He's played just over 1,000 mins, which is the equivalent of only 11 games, and we already have people saying "Sell him, he's not good enough." I'm shocked by what I'm reading and bitterly disappointed. I expected better from Liverpool fans.

I know. One of the few glimmers of light from this season. Ridiculous. Total rage baiting.
05 Jun 2026 19:59:09
I see a potentially world class player and I'm absolutely baffled as to how people think differently.
05 Jun 2026 20:08:55
For a 17-year-old, he is great. But the idea that he is Yamal is for the birds. Stepovers, and a cut inside - that is his game so far. Cost us points by not being able to pass nor defend.
Fair enough, as he's a kid - but let's not pretend he is more than that.

Doesn't matter what some people say on here... Liverpool are not daft, there is no way they'd let a very promising 17 year old leave the club... in the next 5 years he could be something really special n his best place he could possibly be is at LFC... win win for everyone.

Won us points as well, though didn't he?
05 Jun 2026 20:44:42
Hypothetically speaking... how much money would it take for us to take Bayern seriously wrt Rio?
05 Jun 2026 20:52:34
Hypothetically, I'm looking at £70m for Rio.
05 Jun 2026 20:54:23
Rio'll be Grande.

How is it rage baiting or trolling? That some don't think he will make it? He has been given the fast track to the first team which shouldn't have happened. I just can't see this superstar chatter.
05 Jun 2026 21:18:11
I don't think anybody has suggested he's Yamal's level. Yamal is out on his own in the same way Messi was. Once in a generation talent, unfair to compare anyone to him.
05 Jun 2026 21:48:51
Why would any club sell their current most promising prospect, madness. He's 17, leave the kid alone and let him develop. If you cannot see potential, you're watching the wrong game.
Sell the kids, if you're happy with that, you should be following Chelsea, not Liverpool.

Probably the same fans that were moaning during the season because he wasn't played more.
05 Jun 2026 22:05:17
The fact he glimmered as well as he did in that derisory Slot set up is testament to his ability, given that every other player, minus Szobo and, to an extent, Hugo, fell off a cliff.
05 Jun 2026 22:49:12
Very good point, Frode.
05 Jun 2026 23:37:45
It's going to be 'one of those days' isn't it? I agree with Frode.
There's a hell of a lot of difference as a young lad coming into a team that is struggling, in terms of tactics, fitness, and morale rather than a team that is playing well and full of confidence.
As Frode said, whilst the lad didn't set the world on fire he showed that he has something about him. He is nowhere near the finished article but he has time on his side and has a coach now who might just be the person to bring out the potential that is there.

Monstersouness, Rio didn't cost us games. Slot did.
