Got to be one of the biggest non performances I've seen from a player in our jersey today. Think Aldo was right about him. You get games which won't going your way but then you look for effort, running, drive to make something happen. This guy may well have been sat on the sidelines today. Didn't seem to fancy the physical side of the game and seemed happy to be sitting on the peripheral of the game just seeing it through

Another Bodgers inspirational signing. Absolute S.*i*e Get rid ASAP

Prepared to give this guy more time,  but apart from the City and Chelsea wins, he has been very dissapointing. Looks a luxury player who dissapears at the first sign of things getting scrappy

He needs more time, but is somewhat reflective of our current midfield.

Can
Lallana
Lucas
Allen
Ibe
Coutinho
Firmino

All technically gifted, but lightweight and/or slow on the ball. As a result the tougher lower table teams bully them off the ball or skip past them without much fuss. We need a complete rethink in the middle if we're to move forward.

Soft. That's what his performance was.

Soft? He didn't touch the ball!

He looks like he needs a spell in the championship to toughen him up a bit. Watch us send another 20+mill player on loan to Turkey or Germany or whatever. Not good enough.

He is a player that I feel will take 18 months to get used to the league. Problem is, we don't have 18 months spare.

Similar to lamela at spurs , honestly i dont think he has what it takes to succeed in this league , hope to be proven otherwise . Lightweight.

I'm willing to give the lad more time, but like Benteke I'm starting to think he's poor value.

Klopp's no mug and will know all this anyway, but reacon he'll have this season to prove himself otherwise he'll be out the door with the likes of Allen, Lucas and a few others...

He's obviously a good player but if he wants to succeed in this league he has got to toughen up and try to get more involved, he was anonymous today, at one point I actually forgot he was on the pitch.

Too much on the peripheral for me. Not seeing enough to warrant his price tag as it stands however personally will give him more time. The worrying thing for me is he seems a little lily livered.

Saying that, that Lamela at Spurs was absolutely pants for a while but their fans say he has improved a lot this season

His only really had a couple of good performances. In all others his been really poor, non existent.
I guess he needs time in this league.

The price tag is doing him no favours and adding alot of pressure which is effecting his game. I've watched him a few times in the budesliga before he came here and he looked very good.. but if people around the world just watched his performance against City they would think that he's a world beater.

I think he is lightweight, but I honestly believe he'll become a really good player for us.

Maybe half the price would had been close to reasonable, but since when do lfc do reasonable
