Don Hutchison says Ben Doak looks like a ‘right player’ after Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Wolves in the FA Cup on Saturday, as he posted on Twitter.
The 17-year-old has been used by Jurgen Klopp a fair few times in recent games, mainly from the bench, against Aston Villa on Boxing Day and in the FA Cup against Wolves.
When Doak, who signed for Liverpool from Celtic in the summer, was brought on against Villa, he showcased his talents by producing an excellent piece of skill against Matty Cash.
The highly-rated attacker brought a bit of energy to proceedings against Wolves, even though his team were unable to get over the line.
Klopp has showcased over the years that he is willing to give the young guns the chance, whether it’s in the League Cup or even in the Champions League.
Well, Doak seems to be the next kid off the block and Hutchison likes what he sees.
DOAK PUSHING FOR A START
The Scotland star has tasted minutes off the bench and now he will want to earn that first start for Liverpool.
It probably won’t come in the Premier League or in Europe, but he has every chance against Wolves for their FA Cup replay.
What will make it more likely is the fact that the Merseyside club have a packed fixture list to deal with, including the return of Champions League football next month.
