Jamie Carragher has lavished praise on to Stefan Bajcetic, who starred for Liverpool as they beat Wolves 1-0 in the FA Cup 3^rd Round replay.

Harvey Elliott, operating as a right-winger opened the scoring in emphatic fashion for Jurgen Klopp’s side, who returned to winning ways after their brutal 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Saturday.

However, Jamie Carragher decided to credit Stefan Bajcetic against Wolves, who was a class act for Liverpool from start to finish.

Coming in for Fabinho at the base of midfield, the 18-year-old looked like a seasoned veteran against Julen Lopetegui’s side.

Assessing the prodigious talent’s stats from the game as well, he made 5 recoveries, completed 2 dribbles, made 2 interceptions, made 2 passes in the final third and was dribbled past 0 times amongst several other brilliant numbers, as per Stat ATM.

Alongside Naby Keita and Thiago Alacantara, the wonderkid ran the show right from the off.

The Spaniard’s press-resistance, composure in tight situations and technical ability were all on point, as he put in a performance worth being proud of.

So much so that Jamie Carragher decided to single Stefan Bajcetic out for praise after his masterclass for Liverpool against Wolves.

As the Reds looked miles better than they have in recent weeks, one of their standout players was easily the highly-rated defensive midfielder.

And now, a club legend and one of the biggest pundits in the game has raved about him.

Jamie Carragher praises Stefan Bajcetic after masterclass for Liverpool vs Wolves

After Liverpool beat Wolves 1-0 in the FA Cup 3^rd Round replay, Jamie Carragher was full of praise for Stefan Bajcetic.

“Good win for Liverpool. 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic was outstanding”, Carragher tweeted.

Can Bajcetic be Klopp’s new solution in the No.6 position?

There is no denying the fact that Fabinho’s form has fallen off a cliff, with many even claiming that he was been Liverpool’s most out-of-sorts player all season.

Going by how well Bajcetic performed and the amount of potential he has, it is worth asking whether he can replace the Brazilian, at least for the time being.

After all, Jurgen Klopp cannot just keep fielding Fabinho and expect things to change, given his lack of form is extremely worrying.

For the time being, all one can advice Stefan Bajcetic to do is keep smiling after his impeccable showing for Liverpool against Wolves, as pointed out by Jamie Carragher.
