I think he has the potential for sure. He took some time to bed in and then got that horrific injury which deffo didn't help.
But, from what little I've seen of him, he's technically gifted (not full of flair, but technique-wise... if that makes sense... ) and agree with a few on here bout his left foot. Also, he's an option from dead-ball situations which would free up Gerrard from that particular duty ( I don't think dead-ball situations is one of Gerrard's many gifts).

Assuming he can recover from the cruciate injury, which can be devastating, and continue to bed-in, we'll have a potentially excellent left-back. The question is will he be able to......

There's hope there methinks.....

I really like him and did from the first time I saw him play. For me he's an out and out defender, not a left midfielder who has the sweetest left-foot, along with a good range of pass. My suspicion is that this season he will become first-choice (if there is such a thing nowadays) left back and in the unlikely event that Kewell remains fit for most of the season, will keep Riise out of the team. An absolute steal on a free and might just become one of the best in his position in the league this season.

Yep, yep and yep.

The first time I saw him was in pre-season last year (obviously) against Lincoln City, and he was f*cking superb.

I'm with Mick all the way here - provided his injuries clear up, he's going to be first choice at leftback without a doubt - absolutely BATTERS Riise in that position.

It could also be that people will regard him as one of (if not THE) best attacking leftbacks in England before too long.

Aurellio is supposedly out till Christmas, so this season won't end up being the season he proves himself to the fans.
