Premiership - Liverpool v West Bromwich

I can't see the Reds not taking this game and taking it with some ease. The Albion simply don't have the quality in the defensive area's to keep this Liverpool side at bay for the 90 minutes.



We had a similar situation as this a few weeks back when West Brom traveled to Old Trafford but this time they are actually in worse shape than they were back then. Defensivly they are naive and lack any form of solidity in this area. The centre backs are not commanding enough and usually the teams they are playing against are getting alot of chances and of course scoring alot of goals. The midfield is also lacking any real grit and a tough tackling defensive midfielder. Going forward they don't appear to have the goals in them that they had last season which is of course understandable seeming as they are no playing in a stronger league than before with better equipped players. It seems like they are still relying on the tactics that got them out of this division. Trying to score more goals than the opposition and it will simply not work when coming up against sides with much better quality.



Liverpool on the other hand have really shocked me this season. I can safely say that i hadn't expected them to be challenging for the title but this season they seem to have that little bit of extra quality about them. Defence has never been an issue for them and they do tend to keep alot of cleans sheets. The midfield has abit more about it now with Riera playing wide left offering them good width. The full-backs also getting forward more providing overlaping runs and Kuyt cutting in from the right and actually scoring goals. The middle is solid as usuall aswell. Mascherano usually sits although im not sure if he will play here. They may go for the more attacking option of putting Keane up front alongside Torres who is likely to return. If not Gerrard is likely to sit behind the loan striker of either Torres or Keane with Alonso joining Mascherano in a deeper role. But the quality of this midfield can't be doubted and i think this side certainly has the quality to ! break down this poor West Brom defence.
