Ablett: “Nemeth reminds me of King Kenny”

Liverpool reserves coach Gary Ablett has likened reserve striker Krisztian Nemeth to Reds’ legend Kenny Dalglish. He was full praise of the Hungarian.

Ablett said to the Offish site: “It’s probably a wrong comparison to make but I was lucky enough to play with Kenny during my first games at Liverpool and Krisztian reminds me a little bit of that in that he has great balance, can back into people and twist and turn,”

However, he did add on that Nemeth will have to work hard and improve if he wants to play in the first-team.

“But he still has a lot to learn. His movement can improve. We keep telling the young players that even when they haven’t got the ball they can be involved in the game and affect play.” he added.”

“He doesn’t score many with his left foot and that’s something we are working on. It’s the same with his head, but with his right foot he can find that yard of space in the box and get his shots in early without much backlift. Goalscoring comes naturally to him.”
