Wes puts Howson through on the break who squares it into the danger zone and Lafferty gets a second (or puts enough pressure on his defender for an OG). Comfortable. And we've sent out mostly a second XI, which means our key players are generally rested for Saturday. Only Bassong and Olsson have played 90 who you'd expect to play 90 on Saturday.
Me. He isn't ahead of Jerome for our PL style. One goal does not a PL striker make. But he definitely deserves a spot on the bench IMO.
Lafferty did come on at a good time after WBA had to come out of all out defence and go for a goal. I'm hugely pleased he got the goal and forced another one, but that doesn't mean he should start, but he has to be fighting for a place on the bench.
Liverpoo fans must be well pleased with Rodgers now that they've been taken into ET by Carlisle. Holty must be well pleased.
Not saying he should start, but he should be ahead of Grabban. And I'm not just staying that because of the way he acted a few weeks ago but I just think Lafferty is the better footballer.
