Will have a great future. Possibly the most exciting youngster we have. Can see him making it further forward rather than at RB and in a few years will have Madrid and Barca after him

Strange, Bellerin didn't play against Liverpool last season.

Ibe was so much quicker it was like Bellerin wasn't even there...

I think they played each other in an under-21 match a year or so ago.

It is strange though - I always thought Bellerin perhaps lacked a little pace, but I guess not.

I would say that it's worth noting that pace over 5-10 yards is probably more important from a footballing standpoint - as is the ability to change direction quickly.
I remember hearing about Gavin Hoyte beating Walcott in a sprint, but the former had real difficulties when he was faced with Robinho's quick-feet and change of direction.
