"Since then he's got better and better. He's had a fantastic World Cup so far," he continued. "I was saying long before the tournament started that he has all the attributes needed to be a Liverpool player. He's big, he's strong and positionally he's very good whether as a two or a three at the back. "He's a lot quicker than people give him credit for. He dominates in the air and that's a major asset both defensively and offensively."
He praised Maguire to the heavens, claiming that he was "better than John Stones when it comes to passing it out from the back."
