KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Adam vs Spearing

i wish the boy gets more time in PL games, the team needed his mobility and tenacity more than Adams passing(i think he is a problem when the team don't have the ball)

I think adam should get more credit than he deserves. Look at his opta stats. His tackling is one of the highest for a midfielder.

Xabi was never known for his mobility or tackling, but he was crucial to rafa's team. I see adam as a more mobile xabi if you ask me.

Spearing is a bit too raw. If matured he could be good. He needs a loan spell. A the moment he is certainly not better than Adam, though he one day perhaps could be.

two different kinds of players.
adam is a better player and my prefered option.

how old do you think spearing is? people talk of him as if his a 19-20 year old but his 23 next month. his not going to improve a great amount and will never be good enough for a top team like our selfs

23 is still young, and he certainly can improve. Look at how much Lucas improved over the past couple years or so.

We need players like spearing, players who will givemtheirmall when they get the chance. It's hard to build a decent squad without players like him, look at united with Brown and Oshea, and even fletcher up to a few seasons ago.

I don't think he's as bad as some make out. Imagin if he was given the playing time that Lucas got. He did some good things in the half season he was given last season, and I personally saw some quality in him.

Adam for me over Spearing every time because of his passing ability. Admit that Spearing is tough nut but I think he needs a loan spell or sell for profit.

its more than stats, Spearing covers much ground, even if he doesn't get a tackle he dose hurry, close down passing options and chases back very quickly, think about the Spurs game, he would have stuck to Modric like a shadow, and maybe cover with Skirtel.

i'm not saying he should replace Adam full time, just that he is better when we are chasing the ball in some games, and replace Adam after 60 minutes.

History proves that strikers as well as midfielders peak between the ages of 26 and 30, therefor, he can definatelz improve.
