Tiago Ilori

[Muddled]

I've never seen a manager send so many players on loan as much as Rodgers.

RedRum, meet any Chelsea manager. Any Chelsea manager, RedRum.

Charmed I'm sure.

I think it is the right idea as it seems to be getting results. Llori and Suso may well be capable of breaking into the first team if they keep this up.

Absolutely. It's looking promising for a fair few of the loanees. However, I expect some that are out, to be gone if the right offer comes in.

Also, thanks Mostar, I've noticed you post a lot of videos and you work tirelessly to keep us all updated on our players out on loan.

there is only so much progress to be made playing in the reserves so once the young lads reach a certain level we need to see how they cope at a higher more competitive level toughing it out with beefier players.

In recent years the use of the loan system by big teams across Europe seems to have changed. Chelsea obviously being the foremost example.

I hope that we keep using it more as we are now - with a genuine eye to getting young players into our first team.

Just been speaking to a work mate who is a Leicester fan. Was explaining to him the best form of survival is to get in the loan deals early. Liverpool is currently awash with youngsters waiting to impress any team (Wisdom, Texeira, McLaughlin, Ibe, Coady even).

Leicester would be an ideal team for taking mutual advantage of this scheme. Specially under Nigel Pearson.

Edit: Forgot Suso will be back next season too. Could give him one more year on loan but this time in the premiership.

Ilori Compilation vs Real Betis

the pace of the games seems very easy going. not enough to test him really.

if we intend to play these lads in our team then maybe we should look to loan them out in this country were they will encounter a more physical frantic game or they will come back and still have to adapt to the pace

[Phoenix07]

He does come across as a ball playing defender, but his heading technique is strange.

Real Betis are near the bottom of the table, so it's not surprising he wasn't involved in too many defensive phases of the game. He'll face sterner tests, and he should come back in the summer all the better for it.

Comment from Youtube:

Is anybody else thinking Llori(sic) could be the answer to Liverpool's midfield problems? He looks like a young Matic only much quicker. I think Llori(sic) has all the skills to play (as a) deep holding midfielder and add that pace Liverpool lack with Lucas, Allen and Gerrard being a little slow. Rodgers found a gem that looks like he could fill in anywhere in defense and midfield.

[Daffy Duck]

He had a good debut but hasn't featured for them since, anyone know why?

[Chris]

Starting v Barca. Skysports 7pm.

[Chris]

Had an excellent first half. 1-0 Granada at half time.

[Yozza]

Looks like the real deal

Despite being quite quick he never has to rush & very comfortable on the ball - could potentially be a great signing

[RedReet]

Great clearance.

[Chris]

He's brilliant.

[BigChief]

Great to hear.
