Ozan Kabak

[El Rojo]

I have seen the future. It is Ozzie K. 

[Reckoner]

Reminds me of a young Beckenbaur

Think we can safely say that he’s ahead of Rhys Williams for now. 

[Baltar]

It was an easy night for him against Arsenal's impotent attack. Massive test for him coming up against Madrid.

[Jairzinho]

Piece of piss playing alongside Captain Phillips. 

[Scott_M]

It’s quite clear that Phillips & Kabak are the next Hansen & Lawrenson, Carragher & Hyypia, Adams & Bould, Vidic & Ferdinand, Calvalho & Terry but better than all of them combined.

[Anubis]

Dealt with one poor Philips back header well, but otherwise got to pull out the recliner, crack open the sherry, and watch a Fabinho masterclass.

Loved the way he looked like he might have been in trouble for a second being surrounded by arse forwards and just very calmly took the ball into midfield, he's looking good now him and Philips. Both were very good.

Didn't have much to do, but looked alright when he had to  - apart from one moment in the second half, when the ball got away from Phillips and Ozan just stepped in and took charge as coolly as Virg himself.

 

I'm starting to warm to this cat.

Yeah, he's improving with each game. I still can't work out if he has pace or not. But I see that as a good thing as it means he's not getting himself caught out and needs to recover. Arsenal didn't really do much to threaten today, but he was again more than competent. Shame we didn't snag him at the start of the window as I suspect we might be better placed in the top 4 race now if we had.

God Fabinho was pure quality last night. What a player he is.

[Guest]

I'm hearing that any talk of Liverpool not wanting to sign Kabak is a ploy to get Schalke to lower the price from £18m, possibly even as low as half that.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Young.

Gifted.

Kabak.

[LFC 6 Times]

Have to say he’s growing on me, thought we’d signed a complete dud initially, he looked very sloppy on the ball and extremely one paced. He however, has really improved, looks assured in possession, composed and positioning vastly improved. I hope we keep hold of him.

[El Dangerous]

Shaking off that Schalke stink. 

[dave u]

Likeable kid, he's growing on me. His interviews make me warm to him a lot. Just seems delighted be here and comes across extremely humble.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Still too early to judge, but he hasnt done much wrong over the last few games. His character was talked about before he arrived, and as long as Klopp is around I expect that side of things to be fine.

 

He’s decent in the air and has decent speed. I reckon we’re looking for more than decent however in both of those departements, so still suspect that he may be moved on if we are able to recruit other players higher on our list.

I'd put able to remain injury free as more of a requirement than those 2 given our strife this season.

Has he already played more consecutive games than Matip this season ?  That wouldn't be difficult though.

He could well be a cracking long term investment, it'll be interesting to see if he's showing Klopp enough to convince him in training and on the pitch.

Konate's injury record is a massive red flag whether we sign Kabak or not.

[TheHowieLama]

So we already have the guy who is going to save us millions?

[3 Stacks]

Honestly, the Konate thing doesn't totally make sense. I get why we'd like the player, but if we're working with the assumption that we're buying Kabak, we'd have the numbers at CB already. Especially because I doubt Matip will be sold.

[Raymond Duck]

I can see this one taking off when fans get back in the ground. 

[El Dangerous]

I like him and there’s loads of room for improvement. £18m is a snip and no doubt we’ll end up shaving a few quid off that. Either a really handy 3rd choice of he knocks on and ups his game when the big man is alongside him.
