That's correct, we've looked a slightly more cohesive unit without Livermore.

Any notion of a high press goes out of the window with the likes of Livermore, just not quick enough over 90 minutes play.

I'm surprised Ismael has persisted with Livermore for so long!
He is almost as persitant as you are.

Gardner-Hickman yesterday and Molumby before that really has shown up the limitations of Livermore.   If you want to play in a low defensive block, Livermore is your man.

Lost possession 17 times and 2 tackles.  Complete waste of time.

Not very good today but liked by Val so will play on, especially as his other player has been sent off again.

It's a shame we can't play him in the position he is most suited to

He is like a large useless lump of coal. Too immobile, old and slow to get around the pitch and unable to influence play (positively) on or off the ball. He is definitely a drag on the team and any promotion ambitions we have.

Makes you wonder why Val picks him

A lump of coal is useful. ☺️

The irony is that but for our relegation he wouldn't be in the team, he is one of those players that benefits from the club being in the second tier. Similar story with a few others as well. I don't have a problem with his work rate or attitude and it's not his fault he keeps getting picked, but it's very frustrating to watch him play, every time he gets the ball I'm usually wincing.

Must have play me option in contract only reason I can see that he gets picked week in week out, weakest link in midfield by along way

I can't disagree with any of this

Never had much of a issue with Jake , still believe he could do a job with three in the middle but two just like at times with Bilic is killing him . Looks so slow now .

He takes ages to get the ball under control and pick out a player to pass to.  By which time the momentum has been lost. And the pass more often than not is overhit or inaccurate. His best point is that he's a leader figure and team player.

Was much better than Mowatt today (even ignoring the Red card).  He threaded a couple of great balls through that caused problems for Cardiff and didn't really do much wrong.

Didn't see Livermore do too much wrong today, not 'super' but pretty solid game.
