Jordon Ibe

[BigChief]

Surprised no ones bumped Jordan. Thought he was great last night - yeah there's still lots to improve, but considering what he was like only a few weeks back, it's chalk and cheese.

This is how he used to play in our reserves and I would keep bumping the thread.

But every time I did he let me down for the first team, so it's a case of wait and watch if Klopp can keep him flowering.

Good news - Ibe got his hair cut today.

I have a theory about hair and change in performances.

And there we are, my theory holds. When Lucas got rid of his lank hair he was transformed like a reverse Samson. Basically it indicates someone getting serious.

Long haired Torres > Shot haired Torres though

[brightred]

I never felt the same about Agassi after he lost his hair

[McDermotX]

Like most young players, he's has his ups and downs.
last night was definitely one of his ups.........the more ups he has, the greater his confidence will be and he'll become more and more important to how Klopp's side will function.
Encouraging.

Ibe is in the UEFA team of the week - rather awkwardly shoehorned into a traditional winger role though.

As it's 3 at the back he might have to play a wingback role

Ibe played well, but he needs to do that every week. When he does we will have a real player on our hands.

[Bender]

Lad has all the tools just lacking confidence and experience, would like to see him loaned out to get regular football.

Well either that or he improves quickly in the short term and becomes a regular first teamer like Sterling

tbh dan he has the talent and the manager to help him become a top player

Well we know know what Rodgers is doing!

Well we know know what Rodgers is doing!

And it would explain why Sakho didn't make the team of the week too

Ibe needs game time, young talented but inconsistent and that bit raw. He needs to develop & seems to have a good relationship with Klopp but it'll be interesting to see how often he is used. It would be great if he could get more game time, as we are sorely lacking pace and width going forward & sitting on the bench will do him or us no favours.
