It would be really cool if he went with Lazar, but he won't.

Can't wait to see him play today. Think we'll see Coutinho, Ibe and Lazar all playing together at one point in this match Proud

Really, really excited for Markovic. Looks exactly like the type of player I am, only obviously not as good looking. :coffee: Hope he succeeds...everything I've seen on him has been really, really positive.

Post by McAgger Fri 15 Aug - 20:13:23

Q : How do you deal with the burden of being the most expensive Liverpool signing this summer, are you bothered by the huge price tag?

A : Correction, I wasn`t the highest paid and even if I was it wouldn`t bother me. I never compared myself to other people in relation to money. Not privately nor in business, not when my parents supported me and not now when I earn for myself. What does it mean being more expensive than others? It is not about price tags but what about people show on the pitch. Pitch is the best measurement of one`s football value. I believe Liverpool fans expect a lot from me and I expect a lot from myself too. It also goes for the people persistent in bringing me here.

Q : Is it realistic for you to be great even in your first season in PL? That competition is known for `swallowing` much bigger debutants than youself.

A : I don`t think like that . I don`t compare myself with better nor worse than me. I have my own path. I go from hurdle to hurdle and try to skip over them the most simple and fastest way possible. So far it`s been going good. I hope even in such a big club and respected league I`ll start well.

Q : Does your head hurt with all the compliments you get from Rodgers, teammates, Liverpool scouts and legends, pundits and media in England?

A : I don`t suffer from vanity but I`m not gonna lie by saying all those compliments don`t mean a lot to me. Especially from my boss and teammates. We are part of the same mission and we depend on each other. We encourage and help each other out. I have all that in Liverpool from day one.

Q : Does the team stand still when legendary captian Steven Gerrard talks? Especially you kids. How did Stevie G welcome you?

A : We all say Liverpool when we think of Steven Gerrard not just us born in the 90s. He is a legend, icon, king and this club`s embodiment and yet still he`s natural and normal. He doesn`t talk much but everything he says is spot on. We all listen to him and look up to him with huge respect. We are completely aware of where is his and where is ours place in club`s hierarchy. He welcomed me as a true captain and a gentleman. Other newcomers too.

Q : Rodgers is full of compliments about your football qualities. Is there something you`d like to perfect, improve , change in your game? What are you working on the most in training?

A : Even when I was a kid my parents explained to me that smart people spend their whole lives working on themselves and learning. I believe Mr.Rodgers will help me to improve like he did with other young players. Every day we are working on it together. Let my future performances showcase those details.

Q : Do you stay on the left wing ? Will you have to work a lot defensively like in Benfica?

A : We`ll see where will I be used the most because I can play in several positions and there is strong competition for every one of those. Either way I can`t avoid defensive efforts. All offensive players must run after the lost ball, get back even up to your keeper if necessary in order to help the defence. Modern football demands work in both directions. I am capable of repetition.

Q : Who are you getting along the best in your new club on and off the pitch?

A : I`m still adjusting. In America I was focused on fitting in the team and play as soon as possible and time between the training sessions I used solely to get the necessary rest. Since we returned to Liverpool , now that I have a bit more time, I try to organize my life in the new town. I only got to go to one dinner with Skrtel and Coutinho. There will be time for socializing and making friends. Let`s say I`m a bit closer to guys who also joined this club this summer but everyone else is also trying to make me feel like I`m with them for a few years.

Q : Footballing Serbia also can`t wait to see how you`ll do at Anfield. One part of it is sure you chose ideal enviroment and that you`ll do great the other feels you`ll leave sooner rather than later. What do you got to say to your compatriots?

A : Nothing new, all that is normal when you join the big club. Everybody`s got an opinion and think they know best if someone will make it or not. I`m not gonna discuss with people who think I won`t make it at Liverpool. I don`t give promises to those who keep their fingers crossed for me. Let the time show what is the truth. I know what my goal is and I stick to that. I work and will work as hard as I can and we`ll see what happens. It`s just if I never came here I`d never know how many Reds are there in Serbia. Every day I hear about someone from Serbia saying how they dream about listening live to YNWA at least once in their life. That makes me extremely proud.

Q : Here everyone thinks you have to be stronger to stay on your feet after duels in the most physical league in the world where not every contact is a foul. Do you feel perhaps a bit physically inferior compared to PL athletes?

A : It`s not all about strength pace is important too and vice versa. It`s normal I won`t be able to avoid duels all the time but it`s not like I was constantly rolling around on the floor in Primeira, CL and Europa league. In this situations I like to mention the advice Nemanja Matic gave me when he said : " If you can make it in Portugal you can make it in England too." And you know what kind of a player he is so he knows what`s he talking about and that`s the guy who played in both leagues.

Q : Matic said you`ll make it big if you change your attitude towards training a bit. Have you obeyed that advice?

A : I was brought up to listen to elderly. Ok, Matic is not that older than me but he`s at the big stage the longer. He`s been through more, he knows more and probably sees things that I don`t. I know however his remarks were made with good intentions. I take his advices seriously. I`ll try not to disappoint him.

Q : On your promotion you boldly stated you want to win the title. Do you think it`s possible to do it without the best striker of the last season given the incredible competition that exists in the PL?

A : Competition is from hell, but I meant what I said. I didn`t come here to fight for 5th or 6th spot, Liverpool fans deserve the return of the most prestigious trophy. I want to be the part of the PL winning generation. As soon as possible.


Q : Manager Brendan Rodgers mentioned how you gave up your first class ticket in the favour of a woman who was a club employee travelling with you.
A : For me it was a normal gesture of a man who respects women. I believe anyone else would have done the same if they were me.

Yeah I read it and I loved it. I would say confident more than cocky. He has great self belief. I think exactly what we need in terms of character.

Look at Lamela for example. Came in last year for Spurs and has a terribly weak mentality. He had all the talent in the world but his mentality was worse than a teenage girl on her period.

I don't think Markovic is quite ready for this level. He has no end-product whatsoever.

You people were saying the same thing about Sterling this time last year...

Markovic is only 20, and has never really had a continuous playing time. He needs time to develop. That was always going to be the case even if we did overpay for him. He wasn't going to come here and be a regular straight away; he wasn't even a regular in the Portuguese league so let's not put any pressure on the lad.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. The '12-'13 season Sterling clearly wasn't quite ready, but last season he pretty much hit the ground running. If you're meaning to say that "Sterling came good and Markovic will, too", okay. Based on his first games he's looking quite talented with the ball, but hasn't really done anything noteworthy. On one hand he's got time on his side; on the other hand most players who end up genuinely good do showcase that by the time they're 20.

But I'm not even criticizing the guy, just saying he doesn't look ready and shouldn't be ahead of Coutinho in the pecking order, like he's been in the last few matches.

may be BR wants to just rotate the players or he thinks that Markovic is better suited for that wide role. But in the league cup game, Suso deserved a chance ahead Markovic, which I have already mentioned. So Markovic needs to be on the bench and players like Coutinho and Suso need to be ahead of him, depending on the formation of course.

No he didn't. Sterling was hated on up until the Tottenham game in December.

Majority of everyone before that was saying he was no good and shouldn't even be on the bench!

I somewhat agree with that Coutinho/Suso should be started ahead of Lazar, but we just spent 20m on the guy. He's going to stagnate sitting on the bench.

Hate is absolutely the wrong word RA, Sterling barely showed anything but pace before that spurs game, honestly don't know how he turned it around in such a short period. My frustrations with him were that he shouldn't be playing for us at 17-18 when a loan would of been better for his development, rightfully so as you don't expect a youth fringe player to just burst out of nowhere like that. I still think he has heaps and heaps of development left, his pace and movement is carrying him right now, when he develops his skill and becomes more clinical who knows how good he'll become.

In a way Sterling and Markovic are currently like totally opposite players:

Sterling's main weakness is that he still in some games loses the ball many, many times when attempting too many dribbles or too difficult passes. I think the hype may have had such an effect on him that he sometimes tries a bit too hard to be the player who makes a difference on his own. On the other hand Sterling's riskier approach does make things happen when he's successful, creating chances and scoring goals.

Whereas Markovic's start in the Liverpool shirt has been a very cautious one. I don't remember him turning over possession almost at all, but neither has he done anything noteworthy.

So, you could say that they both could learn something from one another.

Unfortunately I've seen very little quality from Markovic. I don't think he's going to contribute anything noteworthy this season. Hopefully develops during the season and becomes a good player for us, but to me it seems at this point he might have been a transfer blunder who just hasn't got what it takes to play at this level.

Only hope left is that he's only 20. He's shown some flashes in some other games, albeit very inconsistently, when he gets space and runs at opponents at speed but he's SOOOOO TIMID.

He never holds on to the ball for more than 2 seconds. You give him the ball he always passes it right back to his fullback or the midfield. Never taking the risky option. It gets very predictable and boring when you do it as much as him.

He needs to be coached well, he definitely has potential. Don't see him providing much this season though.

^ It was clear to see he wasn't going to produce this season.

He wasn't even a consistent starter in the Portuguese league ffs. (That's not to say he's not talented but he's very very raw. Just hope the price tag doesn't
kill him...)
