All season I have been hoping that Solanke will score and keeping posting 'this next game will be the one! ' or similar.

Think I'm jinxing the lad so I'd just like to say that I hope Solanke does NOT score tomorrow!

Under no circumstances do I want him on the pitch and I certainly do NOT want him to put in a worldclass performance!

It's only a matter of time. If he had played all the time I have no doubt he would be in double figures. Didn't he score a hatrick last weekend? U23s. The lad is going to be class, fear not and I hope we don't lose faith in him.

I rate him a lot. He scored plenty in preseason against decent opposition and he's just great!

And by that I mean he is terrible obviously and he'll never be successful with us.

Im sure that he can see Klopp will give the youth set up a go, so can see that he may have a future with us. He is young and needs time to settle in, get time round the 1st squad and could end up being very good business for Liverpool.

Can’t we it lads, who is he going to replace?

He’ll be off in the next 2 years.

I'm with Ron on this one, I just can't see him making his break through. I want him to of course, but I don't think he stands a chance in this Liverpool side, fingers crossed I'm wrong.

We have been unusually lucky with injuries this season. Lallana and Clyne the only long term ones, Hendo on and off too. We all know lfc cannot compete with city, Chelsea and utd when it comes to money. So we have to be cute. Ie, 8mil for Robertson. Buying dom solanke for 3mil was another cute move, we get a high class player for pennies allowing us to pay 75mil for our new cb.

There has been talk of buying some back up for the front three but who do we buy with real talent who is okay with warming the bench? A youngster, that's who. Dom will get his chances, with a better cup run he would have played more I've no doubt.

{Ed001's Note - it is not luck, it is changes made, new fitness coach from Bayern and the constant rotation to keep players fresh.}

We didn't look very fresh in the second half v Spurs, they ran all over us. I would say it has a lot to do with us being knocked out in the first rounds of the domestic cups. Also 2 beach breaks in the sun won't hurt.

Why does buying another forward mean they sir on bench. If you get versatile forward. You can rotate the 4 into 3 position. Effectively giving one a match off in turn. 1 player effectively reduces the workload of the other by 25%.

The player that will cover the front 3 will play as an attacking midfield when everyone is fit.

Sorry but Im not convinced by Solanke at all. Hope he proves me wrong but I don’t think he’s good enough and seems to make wrong decisions.

Yeah agreed ed01, klopp has clearly learned from last years disaster after January. Your point is totally valid and I whole heartedly agree but even so, that can't always account for heavy tackles, fouls etc. We haven't lost any big players bar Hendo due to fouls. I can't remember such an injury free season. So far.

I didn't know that about bayern fitness coach, it has also helped no doubt.

{Ed001's Note - it is the coach that has made the real difference, very few players got injured while he was at Bayern.}

Yours right George, he was classy in Pre season, real good movement and top class finisher. He was one of 25 youngsters to make the shortlist for the "European golden boy" award, along with Joe gomez. He will make it I'm sure.

People are too quick to write off youngsters ALL THE TIME, Although Solanke is yet to score he hasn't played all that much, he has shown great work-rate and determination. Those 2 attributes alone will go along way into making him a very good player. He won the best player at the under 21's world cup, it takes time to adjust from youth football to real football but it will come.

I also urge Klopp to use him more, i mean we have had a 3-4 goal lead many times this season when Solanke were not used or was given the last 5 minutes, certainly not enough time to do anything.

Too little time to judge, but some of you guys are apparently the absolute best judges of player potential and at what different rates they will develop their ability so i bow in awe of these amazing scouting talents! Wonderful!

Agreed nostradamus, although before Vvd a 3 goal lead could be clawed back in 5 minutes. I didn't feel safe until we had a 4 goal cushion.
