I used to wonder just how bitter and twisted so called supporters can become when things are not going to plan. This nonsensical post shows just how daft people can become.
To be fair to Albionic, this is pretty much a direct quote from Darren Fletcher when he was here. ???

Please explain why this is nonsensical as it has been reported that what I described is in fact a TP tactic

In all fairness to Livermore, I will judge him when Pulis has gone.

His first half a dozen games for us, he looked like the mobile centre midfielder we had been waiting for - got around the pitch, and tried to push into the opposition half. Since then, he has become an absolute non entity of a midfield player, however is he a victim of the Pulis stranglehold???

Has never struck me as being England quality, and I don't think he ever will be, but I would like to see him in a non-Pulis Albion team and see whether his first month or so with us was a flash in the pan or a sign of what he can actually do!

Good point Ash, as with all of our players really.

Having read the Livermore thread, I notice that we have highlighted the fouls he committed. Another way of looking at it was that he broke play up. Its strange that when that Southampton player came waltzing through our midfield and defence the other week we all thought he should have been taken out at the half way line.........
MAGA!

Michael Owen had the same opinion about TP's training methods too

Sorry, that clip does not confirm your original contention that, 'our coach does have his players practice punting the ball to areas of the pitch which are vacant to turn the opposition and to gain field position'.
It does confirm that that well known tactical genius Owen did not like playing 11 v 11 for an hour - nothing more.

I don't rate him but he won't be considered as dead wood as he only signed in January.

Let's hope him being subbed is the end of his time here, I think we might all agree on this

Yes, I think views on Yacob, Krycho and Field aside, everyone will be in agreement that he is awful. Finally makes a couple of cracking tackles in this game, only to pass it straight back to them.

How much did we waste on him last January, £12m wasn't it? The money and wages spent on him, Barry, Greg & J-Rod would have been enough for a striker with real pedigree. Indictment on Pulis.

Shows how useless our national team is that he can get into the team. He doesn’t do anything good, even Paul Groves did the occasional good pass.... I think!

I can see why he is in the team, but he is a poor footballer.

He harasses and chases the ball down and forces turn overs. This was shown at the end of the first half when he won the ball halfway inside the Everton half.

He just lacks footballing ability. As shown by the fact he just passed the ball straight back to Everton!

Pulis type player!
It is not the taking part, but the winning that counts.

Absolutely dreadful footballer. He might be big and strong and knows where to stand on the pitch, but when the ball is at his feet, you know it will either be a two yard pass backward or given away. I hope he doesn't start another game for us in the premier league - he's a symptom of everything wrong with this shower.

Whether people rate him or not, there is no need for sarcastically cheering him being subbed, ridiculous and embarrassing. Don't think he is performing well but I do believe he is trying.

I think he's in the team for his workrate. He covers alot of ground over 90 minutes when maybe others are tiring. However, I think he is best at closing opposition players down rather than as a creative player. He is better playing in a Yacob role or maybe converted into a centre back.

I have kept quiet on him up till now.
He hasn't made the grade, so should not be an Albion player, let alone a starter.
Gives to ball away too easy and too often.

I'm sure it really helped the already shattered confidence of the team. Well done gents.

Yeah, I don’t rate Livermore at all but I don’t get anyone that would agree with sarcastic cheers and clapping. Terrrible ‘support’, something you definitely don’t need when in a relegation battle.
