| Brendan Rodgers thrilled with Liverpool youngster Joe Gomez |
LIVERPOOL defender Joe Gomez has impressed manager Brendan Rodgers since arriving in the summer.
The 18-year-old was expected to go out on loan after joining from Charlton for £3.5m but, having done well in pre-season, was handed his Premier League debut against the Stoke last weekend.
He acquitted himself well in the 1-0 victory and will make his home bow against Bournemouth on Monday as he continues to keep out Alberto Moreno, who signed a year ago for £12m.
"For a player of 18 to make his Premier League debut away at Stoke against an outstanding player in Jon Walters, with the experience he has, and cope as well as he did was impressive," Rodgers said.
"I thanked Jon after the game for giving him that experience and he spoke highly of him."
