Mackay Steven on for Forrest. ref is a ****. I see a few folk moaning about a pen in the first half.... Not for me. But he's still a ****.
How Rodgers found a calm, collected defender in Boyata is a miracle. Looked like he was about to ****e himself every time he had to do anything with the ball most of last season.
Always thought there had to be a better player in there. He was strong, good in the air and quick but as you say he seemed nervous under the slightest pressure and with the ball at his feet. His concentration level was also poor but obviously someone (combination of Rodgers & Toure maybe?) is coaching him very well and his determination to improve is showing so far ... just hope that he continues in this vein and copes when real pressure is applied. Be great if he turned out to be our star defender!
