Liverpool fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Stefan Bajcetic’s performance during the Merseyside derby against Everton tonight.
There were strong opinions about his display, given his unexpected inclusion.
Having only been introduced to the Reds XI this season due to various injuries and a few midfielders being out of form, it was unexpected that the 18-year-old would start tonight against Sean Dyche’s physical Toffees side.
However, the teenager remained in the starting line-up, teaming up with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in the middle of the park.
Settling right into the game, Bajcetic looked confident from the off. He remained composed on the ball and looked more than capable competing with a tough Everton side with his powerful tackles.
Liverpool fans were rightly impressed by the youngster’s performance; some amazed by his talent, especially due to the fact that it demonstrated during such a big game for the Reds.
He was subsequently awarded Man of the Match.
Here’s what Liverpool supporters have been saying on Twitter:
Bajcetic looks set to stay in Liverpool’s midfield
Bajcetic has now made 13 appearances for Liverpool this season, and he looks set to make many more.
During a time when Jurgen Klopp couldn’t rely on his usual starters in the middle of the park, the 18-year-old has been the player who has stood up to the plate.
The young Spaniard will be over the moon with how his Liverpool career is going thus far, having only arrived from Celta Vigo in December 2020.
Bajcetic is a huge talent on Merseyside, so the coaching staff will have to make sure they use him correctly as he continues to progress rapidly with the first-team.
