Yeah I thought that too. He wasn't shit so at least that was something.....
Certainly a strange one as he showed more promise than Moreno for me.
He was decent. Strange call. We've got EL and cup games. You'd think he'd have got game time.
He must have no character
I thought his defending was shite and was incredibly meh when joining the attack. Preferred Johnson.
Clyne will be first choice, with the new lad we bought, and Wisdom as cover. As well as Flannagan should he recover.

Really?
I just recall the two most common outcomes when he faced an attacker was
a. A foul
b. Left for dead
Or was he good in his positioning when we were deeper in our own half or something?
Yep, another cracking decision by Rogers after a promising start. Won't get many games now though with Clyne signed
That explains it so. I hate lazy trainers.
This perfectly exemplifies the attitude to defending at Liverpool.
A 20 year old kid who can clearly play, can defend, and can cope in the premier league. But who evidently needs to be coached and developed. All the attributes are there - he was sharp, could defend, seemed to take instructions on the pitch, and was very comfortable with the ball at feet.
Work with him, teach him, give him experience, and develop his existing defensive abilities.
Nope. Fucked off back to Spain. Not because he couldn't play, but because there's no one at the club with the ability to teach him.

Yep, pretty depressing. Clyne and Manquillo would have been a great one two for our right back position, now we have a youth centre back who can do a job at right back as our back up, great.
Yep. Of course, Brendan could, but, as he always points out, he hardly ever gets the time to coach because of all those tiresome matches that keep getting in the way. If only we didn't have to play any games, he's be out there like a flash, being a coaching genius.
He was awful going forward, simple as that.
I thought he always looked like a really promising young RB ... But if he doesn't apply himself, than makes sense.
No he wasn't, he was pretty decent.
His high point was winning us the penalty in injury time in the Champions League home game against the Bulgarians when the goalie miskicked and he got a foot in first. He had no right to be in that position but chased down a hopeless cause and it won us the game just after we had let them equalise.
Always looked to be playing within himself on orders going forward but I thought he was decent and as others have said, he was far better than the headless chicken on the other side who is our only left back option

Iit was pretty much the flaw in his game and we've played more or less with wing backs throughout the last couple of seasons, but Manquillo was more of an out and out fullback. I liked him, he could defend as said, he didn't dive in, he read the game and held the player up until the challenge was there to be made. Going forward though he offered nothing.
Good old Hacksaw Jim
He was very Steve Finnan going forward, nothing glamorous, but he was quietly effective. He wasn't sensational, don't get me wrong, but he wasn't awful as suggested.
I like Manquillo. He was targeted the odd time by the opposition but he knew how to defend and had a lovely touch. I was at the first game of the season last year and Gerrard used him as his outlet time and time again. I thought we had a new first team RB on our hands. Frustrating.
