Lundstram must start

[bluenoz 30,591]

If he keeps playing like that, I will gladly eat my previous words.

[Professor_Chang 1,051]

2 positives today.  3 points and Lundstrom/

[Tiger Shaw 30,341]

Somebody gave him a 3/10 for his performance today in the match thread 🤣🤣

Agree but I thought Balogun ran him close. I might get pelters for that but I don't think Balogun put a foot wrong. He got a bit lucky in the first half when the ball broke off a Dundee player closing him down in our box as he tried to clear it but that wasn't a situation of his own making and he probably done really well there.

Lundstram and Balogun were our top performers today.  Also, can’t fault the GK for saving a pen and a clean sheet.  Tav and Goodson were shocking at times.

Balogun has played very well the last couple of games,has proven he is a very good defender.

One of the few positives today .

Just goes to show that there are some who won't admit they are wrong. Look how long it took Hateley to settle.

[Moody Blue 9,334]

Whilst he was the better of the midfielders today and has improved, I feel he needs to move the ball quicker, he's part of the problem of the pedestrian pace of making himself look tidy with too many touches.

There wasn't much movement ahead of him tbh. The lack of movement/intensity is pretty glaring right now. Far too many players off form at the moment. 

Our strikers always seem to have their backs to goal, and not been impressed with Roofe thus far either. 

Hopefully form will pick up though.

They play with their backs to goal because they need to, its the only way they can see the passes to them and get the ball, 

We dont play a system that allows the strikers to sit on the last defender waiting on the ball through, 

[FlippinEck 3,701]

Lundstram Motm followed closely by Balogun

[trueblue 64 613]

Wasn't impressed initially but happy to be proven wrong, gets better each game.

Oooft

Really starting to grow into the jersey now.

He's went from a team that spent most of the time under pressure, playing a central role constantly without worrying about covering anyone, like fullbacks etc

He was always going to take time to learn gerrards system, and his best games have been when he's been more central

That is spot on, Davis and Lundstram can't play together.

I really liked his game today, he thrived in the middle of the park in a though match.

 

[Bad Robot 21,128]

Played well but it was Dundee. I do hope he starts to get motm performances more regular and can step it up against the higher quality in the league.

I think Gerrard sees him as the long term successor to Davis.

Signs that he is improving but not at that level yet. Hopefully he will continue to get better if he plays more often

I see him more as a replacement for Ryan Jack but still early to be certain,  hes definitely improving

Its starting to look that way. 

It looks like he's enjoying the freedom to express himself more without SD there . 

[five stars 1,629]

Will Gerrard bring Davis back in as sitting midfielder against Sparta?

I guess he'll go for his experience.

I can see him going with both. I think he will set up a more rigid midfield designed to keep the ball and work hard when not in possession. Flair players like Hagi may be sacrificed. 

[Creampuff 22,628]

He’ll be starting at CB at this rate.
