He is 22 so close to his physical peak and whilst he has improved this year i think he is miles away from making any premiership team on a regular basis. Lets face it, he has been OK in a very poor Brighton team this season.

He has looked average in an average team, hasn't got it for me, but best of luck. See him in the same vein as Lingard, big clubs just touting them out trying to get a price for them.

Good article. Right now I'd make Teixeira my Player of The Season, chances are he'll finish as top scorer and top assists, and for a young player from Portugal in a mediocre side that's some achievement.
Reading the comments here that he might not cut it in the Prem is reminiscent of similar comments about Murray and Barnes. I think he'll do okay in the Prem.

At a future point in time.
But there's no way that'll happen anytime soon, like next season.
I guess his progression would indicate a loan spell next season with a Swansea type club.
Another year older, wiser and tougher should bring him along.
But right here and now, if I were Liverpool and could only take one 'youngest' away from the Albion I'd take Ince.

Fair enough. Ask any player in our team they'd want to play for them not us, let alone someone on loan from Liverpool.

Yes he had a few times last year when he was out on loan and again this year with brighton. Well no doubt he takes into account brighton fans views on him when making his mind up.
But no you are right he is totally shit and stands out as a dreadful player. Get rid and lets get someone else in to kiss the badge ...I can't wait

Interesting reaction, I must say. You do realise that there's quite a spectrum in ability between 'totally shit' and being good enough to get into the 25 man squad of one of the top 5 teams in the country? Brighton would be somewhere on that spectrum, so I hope that we can get him back longer term.

Totally agree............................I like him a lot but good defenders will just push him off the ball. On top of that his shooting is quite weak, he doesn't seem to be able to generate a lot of power and that not only restricts his shooting but also his ability to cross the ball or play long passes.
All that said, he has been a great acquisition to us this year so for that I thank the young man and wish him every success in the future but before you go, win us a couple of more games between now and the end of the season.

Lingard started for Man U in the first game of the season but got injured early on in it.
I think Tex could be in the Liverpool team next season. He has stood out in a poor team so should be better playing in a better team. He will just have to make the most of his chance in pre season to prove himsef.

Played through the middle rather than wide, he has been fantastic for 2/3rds of this season. He's been inconsistent at times but that's to be expected given it's his first extended period of first team football. He can be bullied at times, and sometimes over plays rather than releasing it after beating one man, but there's a couple of chaps called Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho at Liverpool who aren't huge hulking blokes...They manage. I'm not saying he's necessarily going to get to that level, but they're there to learn from. Anybody saying he's been average or, god forbid, not very good - has been watching a different team and a different player. He's had the odd shit game but for me should be in the running for POTY.

Yapton Actually
Good little footballer but not good enough to compensate for his lack of strength in English football.
Would be staggered if he made more than a couple of 10 min sub starts in the League Cup for Liverpool.
Could play at the top level in Portugal but probably no higher than lower champ in England.

You obviously haven't been on nsc for many years..if you would you will know that a player is either messi's better brother or a completely shit excuse for a player..witness MURRAY, barnes, CMS, Gerry fell, andy Richie, garry Williams, Sergei gotsmanov, chris Hutchins et al.
There is no such thing as a balanced and even response to a player. Tsk tsk shame on you
