I though that the recent trend was due to new styles by the various kit suppliers like Nike and Puma. I did not know it had anything to do with a Fifa directive. There was never a problem before as teams wore their national colours any way they wanted, as long as they didn't clash. This is an absurd idea, bordering on stupidity. No one would know that Columbia's national colours included red and blue and not white

Brexit innit ;)

he is rapid needed someone like that when we go up against players like Mane
With the high line we play and the counter-press that Liverpool play it's imperative to have a defender with that rapid pace. As you say someone who will go toe to toe with Mane. He'll need to be careful once he catches up with the player though as he tends to go shoulder to shoulder at which point you'll see the player fling themselves to the ground. Some Prem refs will give a pen and send him off for it not appreciating that it was actually his strength rather than a push.

With him, Aurier and Rose I am much more comfortable knowing we have the pace to recover in these situations and still play the high press.

As debuts go that was extremely promising. He looked like he has been playing for us for years. He will have much tougher games to come but he looks the part.

Very assured performance today, seems a confident young man - hopefully people remember today's performance when he drops a bollock at some stage which he definitely will as a young player.

He's Ledley quick, but a bit suspect positionally. But he should be a hell of a defender with a couple of season's experience in the EPL.

Calm, composed, strong, quick - makes our back line even more assured. Can go into matches now and squeeze even further up because of the pace he possesses at the back, such a quality player.

He couldnt be in a better place to develop being in between Toby and Jan. Nice quick tempo to his passing today.
