'You can take Traore out of your pocket' - Liverpool fans rave over Neco Williams' Wolves display after Brighton struggles

Liverpool fans have heaped praise on Wales international Neco Williams following his display in the Reds' 4-0 win over Wolves.

The defender endured a tough afternoon in his side's previous Premier League game against Brighton having been withdrawn at half time after conceding a penalty in a 1-1 draw.

He produced a solid display as Jurgen Klopp's side defeated Ajax in the Champions League before impressing as Liverpool thumped Wolves at Anfield on Sunday night.

Williams made four crosses, won one aerial duel and two free-kicks while also making two clearances, an interception and a tackle.

He ended the game with a pass success rate just shy of 90%, while a booking was arguably the only blot on an otherwise encouraging copybook.

"Hope you enjoyed that one Reds. Great feeling to have our 12th man back at Anfield," he wrote on Twitter after the game.

And the Liverpool faithful were quick to praise Williams on social media following his efforts against Nuno Espirito Santo's men.

Telote wrote: "Now the manager doesn't have to buy another player to back up TAA [Trent Alexander-Arnold], because we already have you mate."

Free Headers said: "Crackin’ display Neco. Getting better with every minute. Keep going lad."

Letty Ellis commented: "Nice performance there Neco. You are one of my most favourite players since your debut! Continue with your head high."

Mike Refausse said: "Well played Neco, you're continuing to perform well beyond your years."

Arfan Mustafa wrote: "Well played young man very well played you can let Traore out of your pocket now."

Ben said: "Brilliant job you are doing Neco, keep your head up always, we are proud of you and keep improving and take these words to heart."

CP commented: "Well done lad brilliant performance proud of you mate."

Benjamin Levi Oscar said: "Brilliant performance Neco. Delighted for you lad. I enjoyed every second of it except for the ref giving you a yellow for a nothing foul after two minutes. You dealt with it like a seasoned pro. Magnificent. We are all really proud of you and pleased for you!"

Kiger Ting wrote: "You can take Traore out of your pocket now fella, the game's finished."

Tony Sims commented: "Another brilliant performance."

Bobby James said: "You get better every time we see you, Neco!"

And the KopBlink account said: "Great performance tonight, Neco. Well played. Keep it up."

Williams - who has won six caps for Wales - has made nine appearances in all competitions for Liverpool so far this term.
