33 | Nico O'Reilly - 2025/26

Good luck to him - I always like to see his name in the lineup. I don't have him as a natural defender, but I think he's our best at LB, certainly above Ait-Nouri.

Just please come back uninjured :-/
 
I see people complaining about his first touch.
No worse than most other players in our team. I think he is pretty good. Especially in tight spaces.
If you are comparing him to Marhez or Dave Silva then yes. But very few at that level.
Iv seen a fair few bounce off Phil, Rodders, Bernardo , Nunes already this season.
Not to mention Earl but that’s not his strength
This lad is on the right curve to be outstanding for club and country.
Too good for LB but the games are helping his development
 
The more I watch this lad the more impressed I am with his level of maturity. He is so intelligent, his decision making is nearly always spot on. He's strong and does not allow himself to be bullied. Remember that he is playing out of position. He is rarely completely skinned, because of his timing. Puts in a lot of blocks. And above all, somehow manages to get up to put in some beautiful crosses — that one that came over to Reijnders was like someone hanging a lantern.
Did he not do the same thing for Haaland in a recent game, or am I misremembering? Put it straight on to his head?

Haaland's 2nd vs Minaco.

Yes I do, if that’s the one Mane got sent off. Salah was subbed off at half time, I think. I couldn’t believe what Klopp did as he was all over Mendy.

I always remember Mendy for one incident in a Derby at OT which summed him up perfectly. In one of his rampaging runs up the flank he was dispossessed almost in line with the United box. He actually stopped and laughed before starting to amble back. By the time he had just crossed the half-way line the ball was in the back of the net.

His first touch was a bit wayward early in the second half yesterday, but he soon sorted himself out. I even wondered if it was an issue with the ball pressure at one point because it seemed every pass was miss controlled just after the break.
