KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Jay spearing is he good enough ?

No

I read on some stats website a few months back that Spearing's pass compeltion rate was 50%!!! With an equal amount of players on each side, probability suggests that a blind man would be expected to have a 50% completion rate!!!!

yep rem the cup final he was awful

I would like to see what Rodgers can do with Spearing for at least a year (same goes for all our younger players).

I doubt Jay will ever be first-team material but he's decent back up and can improve.

I would also like to see Henderson used in that role, because I think it's a good place for a young CM to build his confidence, e.g.. Lucas.

Henderson + Spearing as back up to Lucas - that's fine for this season if you ask me.

Henderson yes but i feel spearing needs to be moved on

In any case I think the way BR was talking about Jay in the press conference suggests that he's keeping him for now...

Also, Jay came unstuck at times last season, like most of our midfielders, when he felt he had to play eye-catching long passes to make an impact. Once Jay is told by BR that all he has to do is recycle possession, I can see him being a very effective player. He's got the desire, he's got the work-rate, team ethic, brave, covers a lot of ground. I can see him fitting in under BR...

Thought it was interesting in press conference when Rodgers talked about our dip when Lucas got hurt and how we weren't the same team. Meanwhile his replacement was on the other side of him. We need a stronger squad and Jay is a good squad player. Will help in Europa etc. If we're depending on him to compete in league we're in trouble.

he was found out last season i believe

We could do a BOGOF on sh!te midfielders!
