They discussed this yesterday on Counterattack and for once I agreed with that loser Brian Dunseth.

I hope he stays there through 2018.  Arena is going to want to play him every game in Russia and he needs all the minutes he can get.

Dortmund has been fantastic for him. He has six Champions League starts.  Starts nearly every league match.  He's been getting selected over players like Schurrle. So he is getting a fair shot.

Liverpool is usually in the Europa League.  At Dortmund he has had some bad games, and Tuchel yanks him out. BUT they have the patience and foresight to keep playing him because they are smart enough to get that a 17/18 year old is going to get tired and have off days.  In the Premier League, if a player has one off day then he is rubbish forever and the manager gets criticized for continuing to play that player.  So Dortmund and the Bundesliga are a better developmental platform and basically on the same level as any of the EPL clubs.
