Blackburn Rovers manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has hailed Tyler Morton as a "good footballer" and revealed Johan Cruyff's influence behind the decision to play the Liverpool loanee in the centre of defence during Tuesday night's 2-1 victory over Bradford City.
Morton, who played 11 times in all competitions for the Reds during his breakout campaign last term, made the season-long loan switch to Ewood Park earlier this month to continue his development within the senior game.
And after grabbing an assist on his first start for his new club during the League Cup first round triumph over Hartlepool United two weeks ago, the 19-year-old marked his second start - in the same competition - by lining up in the unfamiliar position of centre-back alongside Louie Annesley for the trip to Yorkshire.
