Heâ€™s been poor since lockdown but much better last night and arguably his best performance in a 4231.

Better yesterday than he has been for a number of weeks but, make no mistake, if we do get promoted, he cannot be a starting player next season.

The pressing in our team (for the most part) is done by Austin Pereira, Grosicki and Diangana. Hope this helps.

I reckon if you could dig the stats up Livermore would be up there for ball recoveries or whatever they're calling them now.

He's ok at what he does, he just looks so cumbersome around the pitch.
Need a more mobile version of him

Agreed.

Jacko is right that he's not the most technically gifted footballer. But he's not been able to admit that he's done a good job for us at times this season, last night being one of those occasions. The chances of being a Championship team with a more mobile and technically better version of Livermore are tiny. It's definitely an area to improve should we be promoted.

The role Livermore plays, he plays well. No point debating with him he knows everything.

Key passes
1.   Pereira â€“ 4
2.   Livermore â€“ 3
Pass Accuracy
1.   1 Bartley â€“ 96.3%
2.   Sawyers â€“ 89.7%
3.   Pereira â€“ 86.7%
4.   Diangana â€“ 85%
5.   Livermore â€“ 84.4%
Total tackles
1.   Livermore â€“ 4

That's some of his stats from yesterday (not including the subs that came on), stats don't lie. He's not a fancy flair player... but he does the job that's needed of him.

It is worth noting that since this waste of space signed we went backwards as a club. Now I'm not saying Jake is the only reason we have gone downhill but he has certainly contributed. I don't buy into this captain fantastico nonsense . I'm sick of seeing things such as "We know what we need to do" "we are in this together" all the typical generic rubbish coming out of his mouth only for him then to put in such poor performances. I hear he is supposed to be a wonderful person but I couldn't care less I'd much rather have a captain who is a bit of a nasty bugger who will take us forward as opposed to this fraud.

Just watched his interview. Class act. Means so much to him. Saying they all knew jobs were at risk if they didnt do it etc...and they may be guilty of caring too much and letting emotions take over hence the poor performances.

What was his excuse before Covid-19?

Absolute class interview.

I disagree, he's a decent player, knows the ropes, and we will need his experience next year, even if he doesn't start every game.

MOTM tonight.

Brilliant tonight skipper's performance

The man has class despite some limitations as a player. He was however superb tonight. Well done Jake.

gazberg · « **Reply #1365 on:** July 22, 2020, 09:56:03 PM »

Superb tonight. Well done JL. Interview shows how much it meant to him.

Evo_Baggies · « **Reply #1366 on:** July 22, 2020, 09:59:24 PM »

Classy interview. You could see what it meant to him.

Pelada · « **Reply #1367 on:** July 22, 2020, 10:00:17 PM »

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.

Captains performance tonight, some lovely touches around the box as well as the pressing. A very honest and emotional interview shows how much he cares, top man

baggiejohn · « **Reply #1370 on:** July 22, 2020, 10:23:32 PM »

I know it's the same for all clubs, but I don't think they've been home to see their families since the re-start in June, perhaps that's why Jake was so emotional.

koren · « **Reply #1371 on:** July 22, 2020, 10:26:27 PM »

He improved a lot this season.
Close down quickly and go forward all the time.

boinging_along · « **Reply #1372 on:** July 22, 2020, 10:27:30 PM »

He was absolutely immense tonight. Lead the line, closed down, defended brilliantly.

Baggies · « **Reply #1373 on:** July 22, 2020, 11:19:33 PM »

Showed up tonight with a performance more akin to the way he started the season. We desperately need to replace him if we have any hopes of staying up next season, but he has finally looked like a decent player this year. There will be a place in the wider squad for him.

baggie82 · « **Reply #1374 on:** July 22, 2020, 11:25:30 PM »

I've been critical at times but superb energy and leadership this season.
