We can talk about Jakes technical abilities until the cows come home but that can wait.

Tonight it was clear to me that Jake actually gives a toss and clearly meant a lot to him personally tonight. I donâ€™t know the ins and outs but it sounded like he went through some dark days at Hull and here he is coming through the other side.

Iâ€™ve always been amazed that he and Kieran Gibbs- Tottenham and Arsenal boys from youth, have kept their heads down after relegation and really acquitted themselves well in an unforgiving Championship division for two years.

Congratulations to Jake tonight - a fantastic thing to add to his career story.

Lovely stuff.

I give a toss.....Iâ€™m also faster ....but you wouldnâ€™t .

His post match interview gave an insight into the pressure that he and the other players and management have been playing under.
Under the circumstances, I think getting over the line is even more fantastic.
Lets enjoy it.

Always been critical of him. He was fantastic tonight, his interview shown passion and a commitment to the club. For that i appreciate his contribution tonight.

Fantastic last night I thought. Hustled, pressed, won tackles.

That interview though, it looked as if he was mentally exhausted with the pressure as he repeated 'relief' over and over again.

To be honest though, relief was my overriding emotion at the final whistle.

Man of the match for me last night.

Does anyone know who he was hugging for so long after the game? It was an oldish fella with long white hair I think - seemed to go on for ever.

A Captains performance from Jake, he lead the team superbly by example and was, undoubtedly, Man of the Match

Yeah, I wondered that too - Jake seemed pretty emotional.

From Where Jake was Mentally to now he has been a good player. I guess he has struggled mentally not seeing his family whilst trying to give his all for us on the pitch. At the End of the day we are up he has stuck with us all this time and for that I applaud him and he should be useful for us in the Premier League.

I think he was man of the match too.

Seems also everyone is wondering about the white haired fella. I'm going for the first Dr. Who.

It's the plagiarist Martin Swain. He stole and then put an abridged version of a Albion themed version of sinatra song my way based for tony Mowbray, as he was his favourite singer.

I put it on the 606 forum, when it existed, and he stole extracts of it and put it in the express and dingle.

I thought he metaphorically lead from the front last night

Just saw the interview with Jake. Man the pressure release was intense from the way he was making it out.

I think sometimes we easily forget how good we were playing first half of the season.

Iâ€™m sure theyâ€™ll all grow having been through this experience and can play without a lot of the expectation this second half of the season.

boinging_along · « **Reply #1388 on:** July 23, 2020, 08:23:25 PM »

Remember how tense watching that game was? Now imagine playing in it!

glosterbaggie · « **Reply #1389 on:** July 23, 2020, 08:29:39 PM »

I did not know where Jake was playing....CF CB or Mid he was everywhere! Great hard working performance.

GREGMT · « **Reply #1390 on:** October 26, 2020, 07:56:45 PM »

Don't play this guy again - just not good enough. He is playing in a critical position in centre midfield. So far off the pace it's ridiculous.

Nice guy and puts in 100% yes but we need to be ruthless.

rubbish tonight. Still missing one CM.

I'm absolutely delighted by how good Krov, Gallagher and Pereira were last 30 minutes.

Surely that's the Eureka moment for Slaven regards Livermore.

Atomic · « **Reply #1394 on:** October 26, 2020, 08:15:20 PM »

Livermore's best position is right of a three when he initiates the press and we're not playing that way right now.

He's never been great as a holding midfielder.

I agree he should be on the bench at Premier League level.

GREGMT · « **Reply #1395 on:** October 26, 2020, 08:17:40 PM »

The bottom line is we played 4-5-1 first half and got rinsed. That's 3 central players in there. Livermore was just chasing shadows. Those people saying Ajayi shouldn't there, well all I say is no one could be worse than Livermore was tonight.

yes I agree, we looked like we did at our best last year with those three in the middle.
Robinson was good as well, Pereira has to be our N0.10 surely.

Livermoreâ€™s best position is in the stands.

sconesy · « **Reply #1398 on:** October 26, 2020, 09:32:20 PM »

Agree entirely with all of the previous 2/3 posts. I have huge respect for Jake, but without him we seem to me more dynamic, have far better tempo/energy and most importantly seem to create so much more in the attacking third. What he does is invaluable on occasions but after seeing that tonight (and been clear in a few previous games) itâ€™s clear (in my opinion) that we can play a far more probing and creative style than we have given ourselves credit for; and ultimately be more prosperous.

Not sure....he used to play a bit at CB ....maybe we should consider as part of a 3?
