WBA vs Liverpool - Match Thread

So, for someone who was at work today and couldn't see or hear the match, could someone do some player ratings? I'm hearing rumours of Livermore and Phillips playing well and I can't bring myself to believe it Laugh

We played with spirit today to get a point. However Swansea need only one draw from 3 matches to send us down even if we win all three matches.

Suggest Chris Coleman if not Big Dave in Championship.

Philiips did play well Joker.

Chris Colman who has just took Sunderland down to Division one Doh

Even with this dry pitch Liverpool still went 2-0 up so it wasn’t a big problem for them. It only became a problem and convenient excuse when we came back into the game. Big Dave made changes and Klopp made changes. Big Dave’s worked, Klopp’s didn’t.

It’s not our fault if he and his team didn’t adapt to what was happening on the pitch.

Besides that, that is what you call tactical home advantage to do what we want. Why play on a wet pitch for faster play and give them the advantage. Big Grin

In my opinion (!):-
Foster 6.5
Nyom 5
Dawson 7
Hegazi 6.5
Gibbs 6.5
Liversalts 7
Brunt 7
Phillips 7
McClean 7
Rod Regis 6
Rondon 7

Evans 5.5
Burke 6.5

Overall 7.5 (Bigger mark than individuals, but good teamwork & spirit throughout)

Cheers TalkSaft. I can't believe DM has got even Livermore playing well! It just solidifies the fact that the majority of the blame goes to Pulis and Pardew (the players not wanting to play for them didn't help, though). Have to wonder where we'd be if we'd have sacked Pulis at the end of last season OR stuck with Megson/not hired Pardew?

Agree about Jake. He's still playing like a crab, but you can sense he WANTS to do well for the team (of late). That must be the only (Albion) goal he's had a hand in since last January!

Didn't stand much of a chance did he, as Big D had with us Tongue
