PrestersKTID Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 More minutes for Liverpool in the cup against wolves. Really lively, looks rapid aswell. Hopefully capped sooner rather than later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin Macca Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Get him in the squad in March. Kid is electric. Absolutely bodied a wolves player aswell. Strong,quick,direct. No one can tell me isn’t better than a Jacob brown already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Jota should be back within a month or so, apparently, and Diaz a bit longer so he might still get a few more minutes soon. He'll probably go back to age-group football once those two come back, but he's still done brilliantly to get senior appearances already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be going backwards to be back in the U21s. He’s done well in the small amounts of time he’s had in the first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I'm not sure he'll go on loan so young. Tbh even the u21s is good considering he's just turned 17 and is at one of the biggest clubs in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a development point of view him getting first team action looks as if it has enhanced him so far. With the right club (which I'm sure Liverpool themselves will realise) gaining more minutes against experienced players can't hurt him, given we're kinda suggesting that he does that by being capped for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I'd probably consider just keeping him in the under-21s for now as he has only just moved to that age group in September '22 from the under 17s. He hasn't played a lot of senior minutes at either Celtic or Liverpool so unless he starts a few Premier League games between now and March then I think it's better to let him continue to develop at club level and maybe revisit him joining the Senior National team in the summer. I know that will go down a lead balloon on here but without knowing him personally the risks associated with him getting too much too soon compared with the reward of him being part of the setup against Cyprus and Spain lead me to side more with leaving him out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be fine with bringing him along to the squad if Clarke feels he would benefit from being integrated into the camp, but I don’t really expect him to play a role in March or really in these qualifiers at all. He will be turning 19 in the autumn of 2024 when we kick off our nations league A campaign which then leads into the World Cup qualifiers. The aim for Doak should be for him to be pushing to get into the starting XI for those campaigns, IMO. Clarke will decide whether he would benefit more from game time with the 21s in the mean time or coming into the main squad as a spectator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If the games were next weekend I don’t think it’d be unreasonable for Scotland to have Doak on the bench. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world and brought him on for Mo Salah last night with the match in the balance, in the only tournament they’re likely to have a chance of winning this season. The games are a long way off though. With Liverpool players returning from injury we might not see a lot or any of Doak in February and March, or he might be on loan playing every minute somewhere else. Anything can happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 We should be leaving him well away from the squad until we're absolutely sure he's up to it. If that means that he's waiting until his mid-20s then so be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If he's up to the pressure of playing for Celtic in an Old Firm game and for Liverpool in the Champions League and Premier League, then I don't see any reason to think he wouldn't be up to playing for Scotland. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedingums Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Sounds like Nunez is a doubt for tomorrow. Hopefully that means more minutes for Doak - would be interested to see what he could do with more than just a few minutes at the end of a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Carvalho and Doak only attacking subs with oxlade chamberlain starting with gakpo and salah So, hopefully you'll be right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Doak lost the ball every time he got it today. He put in the effort but still has a lot to learn. He’d be nowhere near the first team if Liverpool weren’t a complete mess tbh. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus made some tackles. Most twitter feedback seems to be positive. (In comparison to every other player) However, this really wasn't an ideal time for him to come on. Liverpool horsing a team 3-0 and bringing him on the last 20mins would be far better. A little unfair on him today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has looked largely excellent in his cameo performances so far, in those he has shown he is deserving of cameo appearances to try and make an impact. One poor (if you are correct) performance off the bench doesn’t change that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
