five stars 1,635 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It is it not blatantly obvious that we need a defensive/holding midfielder? Surely that should of been the priority for this transfer window. I'm not saying Hallidays a bad player, just that he's a poor defensive midfielder, even playing Ball (a centre half) last season was an improvement. Ultimately MW is responsible for not prioritizing this position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFCRobertson 11,771 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 We've been on the phone to LFC Troubleshooting, we'll get our Rossiter fixed soon. Rebooting takes about 10 days though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 priority is defense and strikeforce we have plenty midfielders, warburton should be happy with what he's got in that regard and should play to their strengths Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 he bought 2 in the last transfer window in barton and Rossiter - and is trying to get another in this window. If thats not prioritising things I dont know what is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,354 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 We do. I think MW is still holding out for Rossiter. I think we'll bring someone in this summer rather than another loan this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb85 1,783 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It's obvious we need a striker more importantly imo. We need someone to finish games off early no in the last 10/15 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have any defensive midfielders except possibly Rossiter. Dodoo doesn't get a chance, Waghorn plays out wide Garner can't score so that only leaves Miller. What if Miller ended up going off after that challenge from McDonald? We'd have no one else that scores. Halliday seems to be a stick on starter no matter what so that's there covered. If push comes to shove put Wilson in where Halliday is if he gets injured. Rossiter must be 8 days away now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats not prioritising things I dont know what is. It's been over eighteen months now and it's still a big weakness in our team. We have tried and failed for a variety of reasons to strengthen the position in that time, which has meant playing a season and a half without a proper DM. Surely it's time to address the situation?

I think the last transfer window he spotted the issue and tried to address it as I said with Barton and Rossiter. He is again trying to strengthen the midfield this transfer window. I don't really think it's 18 months as Halliday done a good job last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree that Halliday did a good job last season. He had a few good games with the Scottish cup semi-final a highlight (Ball was DM). Against the better teams last season we struggled with Halliday as DM which resulted in Ball usually been brought in to play the position.

Ultimately whether you or I think he had a good or bad season is immaterial. Warburton only has so many windows to change it - and you can only change something once you see that it needs changed. So, he gave Halliday the season, decided he wasn't good enough and has since tried to change it in every transfer window since. I don't see what else he can do.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 He did prioritise in the summer so you can't question him on that, what you can question is why he took such a gamble in signing Barton and Krancjar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he seen Barton as a bit of a coup and obviously though that krankjar - when fit- would be an asset. We know how it went re Barton, but krankjar was definitely starting to impress in games. I do believe if he had kept fit he would be having a major influence on games now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
