   I think you are misreading the situation. Brentford aren’t being dictated to or bullied. Liverpool have invested in a young man with great ability who needs playing time. When a loan is agreed, it is with the expectation that the player will have a decent amount of playing time and this will also benefit the club to which he is loaned. Liverpool trusted that he would get decent playing time and it hasn’t happened, so in the long-term interest of the player and his parent club, it is quite correct that he returns. Considering the number of games which have been drawn by the Bees, why wasn’t he given a better chance? As it happens, he turned in a good performance for Liverpool under 21’s and scored too.

     That’s a fair point Kenawkeye, most Bees fans expected to see far more of him than a couple of brief cameo appearances. We wish him well.

   I would have thought it was very simple: the loaning club are sending him out to access game time and gain experience. If the loaning club don’t want to play him because they feel he is too lightweight, not up to it physically, or just not good enough; then don’t take him in the first place – or send him back. I’m not sure that there’s really a story here, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable for Liverpool to expect him to play if Brentford have asked to borrow him – I presume he wasn’t forced on you?!
