Scottish media’s Ben Doak verdict after Liverpool loanee helps Scotland draw against Portugal
Liverpool academy graduate Ben Doak has enjoyed a superb start to his career, with Reds coaches and fans keenly monitoring his progress.
The Liverpool forward is currently out on loan at Championship side Middlesbrough, where ⛎he’s getting a decent amou🎉nt of game time.
Doak, who has already made 10 competitive appearances for Liverpool🌠, has also made his breakthrough for Scotland this🐈 season.
The 18-year-old has won four caps for his nation, coming on against Poland and Portugal 🎐in September before starting against Croatia and Portugal this month.
Doak was handed his second consecutive start for Scotland as they sought to bounce back from a three-game losing run in the Nations Leagu🌊e.
The Liverpool gem played 67 minu🍌tes for Scotland before making way for New York Red Bulls winger Lewis Morgan.
Here’s what th𓄧e Scottish media said about Doak’s display in the 0-0 draw against Roberto Martinez’s side.
Liverpool gem Ben Doak ‘showed no shortage of confidence’
g♈ave Doak a 7 out of 10 for🌄 his efforts at Hampden Park.
They wrote𒉰: ‘The teenage protege showed no shortage of confidence by running at Antonio Silva and Joao Cancelo regularly when given the opportunity to get on the ball.
‘The winger played his defence into trouble wi𓆉th a tippy-tappy pass inside, but the Portuguese couldn’t capiℱtalise on the situation right after half-time.
‘Probably came inside too often rather than looking to go round the outside to the by-line𓆏, but another positive showi🌠ng from the young man.’
Meanwhile, gave the Liverpool man a 5 out of 10 for his performance against Cജristiano 🐭Ronaldo and co.
‘Had two neat dribble early onജ in both halves, but was largely quiet and unable to showcase his unique talents as Portugal dominated the bulk of possession,’ they wrote.
‘Only touched the ball nine times in the first-half and h𝕴is poor ball to Bruꦑno Fernandes almost cost Scotland dear. Replacing by Lewis Morgan with just over 20 minutes to go.’
Likewise, went with a 5 out of 10 for 𓂃the Liverpool academy graduate.
They said: ‘The prodigy became the youngest Scotland player to start consecutive games for the national team, and he did well enough at times against one of the world’s best fullbacಞks in Joao Cancelo.
‘His time will come with more experience, but it is nights like this when he꧙ will learn what it is like to play top opposition.’
