Post Stoke Happiness

Ojo was great for the goal but I've always felt he'd be better suited to CM where he could really dominate with his pace and power. I'm not sure, in general, he has the tricks to be a wide forward.

Interesting post but I see this from the other end of the telescope altogether. The very fact that Ojo is more about pace and power than he is about tricks seems to me to make him better suited to a wide position than to one in the centre, where he wouldn't get the room he'll get out wide to put that pace and power to good use.
 
Milner should not be mentioned in the same breath of Kuyt, the latter knew where the back of teh net was in the big games.

I'd envisage him playing box to box rather than in the hole. Lots of potential for long straight sprints.
 
Aldo sort of compared him to John Barnes in one of his Echo columns. Yipes.
Indeed. If only we could find someone with the same vision, dribbling, shooting, set pieces and passing like John Barnes.
Oh yeah, we did!
He fucked off to Barca.

Ojo? He's not going to make long straight sprints box to box unless he's hitting a team on the break, and in that sense his position is neither here nor there, any quick player can pick up a loose ball from an opposition attack and go at them (as we've seen from the likes of Origi, Clyne, Moreno, Sturridge, Sterling, Ibe).

Playing wide allows us to utilise his pace and skill during build up play, when we need that burst of energy into a predictable attack. And he's shown he can score the odd goal too. Infact, the only evidence we've got of him doing anything successful in a Liverpool shirt is a top class finish from a wide right position and a top class assist from a wide left position.

Playing in the middle requires more intelligence, an eye for a pass and the composure to slow things down and put his foot on the ball when needed, and some level of defensive ability, which he has admitted (and Klopp has too) is what he needs to work heavily on.

If anything, his qualities scream out that he's an archetypal wide attacker.

In that one half Ojo was no good defensively. He just have to look and learn from Coutinho, arguably our best player, who puts in good shift defensively even with his offensive duties.

I remembered Coutinho being defensively poor when he just arrived. I think it was BR who worked on this aspect so kudos.

Shut up twat.
 
'Shut up twat' reply to an unbiased assessment of a young players future position ?

Ha, Give over Peter.
 
It's mark. He gets what he deserves.

Where's Squiggles when you need him?

Oh, and fuck off Peter. You creepy, silver spoon fed, horrible little cunt. Go fuck a pig with your mates, and then come back with a football post that doesn't sound like it was constructed by a fox hunting wanker.

Love you really x
 
Logging on to a thread to specifically abuse a poster after a night like that is plain weird.

And no mark the it doesn't reflect the norm if that's what you're trying to imply. You don't get shit thrown at you for nothing.
