Can be great, but has a mistake in him, and costs us a goal every now and again, like today. Dortmund fans told us as much, and they were right. Should not be starting every week, but he is a solid back-up to have.
 
Thought he was very good passing through their press, especially when Liverpool could still be arsed in the first half. His ability to pass first-time with either foot is really useful

However, he was caught out for their goal, and I was disappointed when he went into a challenge really weakly that could have resulted in Rodri getting a second booking
 
We have 4 CB's starting, so not a surprise he is playing.

He was the weakest of our 4, and at fault for the goal, but also just his first season, and I think more often than not, we are seeing better and better understanding of his game in our team from game to game.

And I've been his biggest critique since the beginning.
 
I suppose some just have to have somebody to berate. Not a single player on the pitch today that didn't stand up to the task and perform. No reason whatsoever to dig him out today. He was very good and you have to remember he is the reason why we can play John stones as the right back/6 without him, walker simply has to be on the pitch and that tactic which played a key role in us smashing them today goes out of the window.
 
He’s been a bargain. Considering he’s come straight into our team I think he’s done well. He’s not the most agile of defenders and can get turned, but his passing and pace make up for it.
