West Brom match thread

I think even the most loyal LFC supporters have had enough of the sight of Lucas and his monotonous performances. I agree with above posts worst LFC midfield i've ever seen

take off lucas, drop gerrard back and let someone with a little touch play off of one foot Torres. Pacheo on. Babel on for Dirk II.

That doesn't help us much, because our wide positions are still ****. Kuyt and Jovanovic is awful. They're now playing in their more "natural" wide roles, and guess what, they're still crap. Dropping Gerrard back won't make a difference.

Painful

the midfield has just been a complete let down.

Poulsen was never bought in as a creator and we all know about his limitations. Lucas i dont understand - he's got a chance to move forward from midfield yet he's just stood about playing his teamates into trouble. He's offered nothing and you can see why hodgson has also been linked with a move for inler because his performance is terrible.

Rafa played to kuyts strenghts and negated his weaknesses which made him look half decent whereas hodgson is asking him to do things he just cant. Jovanovic on the other side has been a real disappointment because he doesnt seem willing to attack his fullback and for someone playing wide its criminal because everything is so congested and agger isnt mobile enough to provide the width on the outside.

Its not working and something has to give. Bring on rodriguez and asap because he's much better than kuyt as a wide right player. As for jovanovic - he's lucky that he's only got ryan babel as real competition and that says it all.

In a match this like Babel's pace and direct style would be better than Jova's.

Even Pacheco could have started, a bit of an attacking approach Roy, why not? (taking who we're playing into consideration)

Why, oh why can we not sign a winger. Why not sell Kuyt ????

[Dantheman]

Creativity, passing, movement. Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

[Tansy]

Any changes?

(While i look for a new stream)

I was always on the fence with regards Lucas and really hoped he'd suddenly start fulfiling this massive potential he's suppossed to have.
Have to say my patience is wearing thin with him now.

Don't you dare give us a stream!!

We lack width, movement, creativity, pace and flair with the midfield lineup today, it's not short of hard work but that's not going to be what gets us the points today.

I hear ya mate, he ain't good for LFC

Has anyone got a decent stream? I'm watching on Iraqgoals but it's not working

[McDermotX]

Wow......shots from 50yrds
The mark of a truly unimaginative side.

It's not only a lack of width that's the problem, if you have creative, skillful players
in the final third that can open up a defence you don't always need to rely on width.
