Whether ot not he is a nice guy aint the point its whether or not he should be in our midfield or a wba player come summer.

Personally i think we should move on summer but VI likes him so whats the odds on an extension.

Having said that the last few games he has been one of our better players

Did you tackle him over his poor technique when you had the opportunity or did you take a pass on that one ?

Passed on that one but I do remember telling Carlton Palmer he was rubbish at a Junior Baggie event once.

Once again the Manager picked Livermore in CM, Furlong CB and Gardner Hickman RB.

Surely the better choice would've been Livermore CB, Furlong RB, Gardner Hickman CM.

As far back as September i was stating nothing was created centrally.

Ismael is just not very sharp IMO.

Offers nothing to the team so donâ€™t understand why he gets a starting berth week in week out.

Livermore is poor, however the same could be said of numerous players.
Our squad isnâ€™t good enough to replace them all.

Don't know what the xg is but he must have broken the world record, this season, for balls kicked over his own head.

Proved to me he's a caring guy with giving his private box to a young kid last week
Don't forget he's been through difficult times in his personnel family life.

David Jason seems a nice bloke,what size boots does he need?

Guess away.
We can laud how nice players are, but is that really what we sign them for?
Many people think zlatan is a bit rogue, Ronaldo seems cocky,but they are winners .

Agree with your preference Gregg, I think that would have suited us better yesterday, getting TGH in midfield should be a priority in my opinion.

Correct played all 3 in wrong spots.
Central midfield was horrific yesterday however i think Livermore was better than mulumby who just seemed to hoof the ball whenever he got it.

Both spent the entire second half chasing balls kicked over their heads

1 year extension confirmed

KYA · « **Reply #2037 on:** January 19, 2022, 08:02:15 AM »

You will all be glad to know he has triggered a 1 yr contract extension he will be here next season

Hull Baggie · « **Reply #2038 on:** January 19, 2022, 08:07:07 AM »

I'm not anti Livermore and know he's nowhere near as bad as some paint him but it's a poor decision, we needed to let him go and replace with younger/better at the end of the season.

Hopefully in the next window we can get in a better option and Livermore will be an off the bench option, like Brunt was when he was nearing the end of his time with us.

Mooncat · « **Reply #2039 on:** January 19, 2022, 08:28:21 AM »

Also important to factor in, it could just be that we use that to get some money for him when moving him on rather than (another) free

Why would he leave?

Re-signing the likes of Phillips and Livermore just sums the club up at the moment. What do we have to do to get rid of aging, serial mediocrity like these two?

If I freeze my body when I die and come back to life in 150 years time these two will probably still be at the club.

Will we ever learn?

KYA · « **Reply #2043 on:** January 19, 2022, 08:49:46 AM »

Unless I'm getting it all wrong it's a clause that JL has triggered not the club.

Terrible decision, he has no sell on value so this means he'll hang around and probably still be first name on the team sheet.
We won't truly improve until we start moving on these past their sell by, bang average performers.

gazberg · « **Reply #2046 on:** January 19, 2022, 08:53:03 AM »

Who the hell gives a midfielder coming to the end of his career a 1 year extension on top of the 4 guaranteed???

We have some buffoons running this club.

Could not agree more. This is typical of a club in decline. Offering long-term contracts to players who have no upside value, absorb massive wages and have a limited positive input to the team. I know its a one year extension for Livermore, but the previous 4 years was already ridiculous (as was the fee).

In Val's formation (2 midfielders) you cannot afford midfielders who can only defend. They have to be creative too, otherwise you don't create chances and hence you don't score.... sound familiar?

I think he should be a back up CB until his contract expires. I'd try to move him out on a free in the summer but I doubt we'll get any takers. What a waste of resources!

gazberg · « **Reply #2048 on:** January 19, 2022, 08:56:03 AM »

Assuming he's extended on his current terms. No one will offer him what we have.

Any chance to not have to replace someone and this club will take it regardless of what value the player will offer the club down the road.

He shouldn't have had an option to trigger in the first place.
