Rhian Brewster

[Exiled_red]

I think Melissa Reddy said a few years ago that Edwards and Klopp are happy to move away from their original thinking on things if it's shown that they don't need to pursue it due to the evolution of the team.

Brewster's also got time on his side for Klopp to begin moulding him into something special.

He has, but are we willing to change the style of play to accommodate him? The whole dynamic of the front three would change hugely if you swap out Bobby for Brewster

Yes that's fair enough - seems unlikely as the drop off role Bobby plays makes the front three tick, and I reckon Minamino is his replacement

Haven't seen much of Brewster to be fair, so hopefully there is something there about being able to be moulded into a wide forward

[Scratch]

I see him more for when we switch formations go to a 2 up front, or 1 on his own. We don't have a player like that at the moment.

A number of PL clubs interested in taking him on loan if we want to loan him out

I read somewhere that Spurs also made a loan offer for him. That seems to make no sense from either side

[Corndog]

From the couple of swansea games I saw, he needs to do more in the build up play if he is to break through in this team.

His finishing looks incredible already though and physically he's a presence now.

Good assessment

But if you think how we will use him, then there will be a lot of instances where we won't need his build up play. If we need a goal in the last 10/15 mins, then it's likely that we are on the attack but just can't break through. So although it's natural for us to think "oh not sure he could do the bobby role", it's possibly more likely that we would need him up top alongside Bobby.

I would keep him at LFC. At least for the first half of the season. If there are games cancelled due to corona outbreaks within squads, then the games could come thick and fast.

[Sus]

yep I agree, I'd keep him as well.

I think we might play a few different formations this season, so a proper #9 might be more helpful than we think right now

But hopefully he also has the ability to improve his build up play in the final third, especially the ability to go wide and attack his defender like a winger

[Buzzo]

He seems a confident lad. It would be great to see him have a break through season with us.

Agree that I thought the same. Perhaps unfair to judge him in another team where we don't know what instructions he had from the manager.

The thing that stands out for me about him lately is his physical presence. He's quite a unit now!

The new Ibe

The new Ibe

Stop it. Just stop it ok

[Buzzo]

Making a solid case to be kept as back up this season.

He has that knack of finding space which means he will always get chances.

[SB]

Yeah he’s ahead of Origi seemingly

[Kenneth]

I'm not sure about that. He's been away from the squad for a year and this game time may have been more about getting him reacquainted.
