Carabao Cup - Third Round ** Spoilers ** [22nd-24th September 2020]

Jota I see more down the sides than the middle but happy to be proven wrong.

Regarding Brewster in general it's been 2 years of hearing how good the lad supposedly is you'd think he would have had least cup games regularly with us.

Makes me think he is just hype

Also what a goal! Big Shaq!

I mean he had a very serious injury for most of that two years lol.

Edit
Also you said front three...are you talking about firminos position? If so we have a fair few who can play through the middle.

When was the last time Origi played through the middle? He's currently playing on the left with Minamino through the middle. And Jota can play across the front 3. Origi is very much 6th choice now.

And Brewster has played in cup games, when he's been at the club and availabe. You only have to look to last season though - he was a few months away from picking up a PL winners medal but wanted to go out on loan to play regular first team football and he's not playing today because he's almost certainly leaving. He doesn't want to stay and be 6th choice, playing in Cup games FWIW, I don't think Brewster can make it with us long term anyway. Not because he's not a very talented youngster that will have a very good career for himself but because we underestimate the jump from being a decent PL player to competing with 3 of the best forwards in world football.

Origi tends to start left, be crap and moves to middle always happens.

Anyway I just don't rate him regardless of his few moments of brilliance.

I'm not sure what you're talking about in the first sentence. You initially said something about Jota playing wide, the implication being Origi was still our first change through the middle - he's not, as we can see now Minamino is playing centrally and Jota can too. And even if Firmino and Minamino were out and we decided to play Jota wide, one of Salah or Mane would play centrally ahead of Origi too.

Good luck finding somebody better that will be happy as a 6th choice. Origi is very hot and cold but when it's really mattered he's always delivered.
 
Elliot's a weird one, undoubtedly talented but at his age surely loaning him out and having him play regularly is better than giving him the odd cup and 5 min appearance?

4-0

I don't think Klopp is a fan of loans, particularly for players he thinks can really make it with us. And where do you loan out a tricky playmaker for him to develop? I'm not sure you gain anything sending him to a club where he won't be playing under similar conditions to us. I don't think him being stuck out on a wing, barely getting a kick or playing in a side going direct is going to benefit anybody.

Not sure - Klopp clearly likes his most talented players to train with the senior squad to learn his style of play. I get why he doesn't loan them out although it would be nice to see them play more.

Glad to see Grujic back and playing, apparently he's useful so happy he's having a chance rather than being sold
 
It's only been a few weeks but Curtis Jones looks to have really bulked up since the end of last season. I was always a little sceptical about whether he was good enough for us but he's really progressed over the last year.
