A section of West Brom fans have torn Jake Livermore to shreds for his performance in the 3-2 defeat to Bristol City in the Championship on Tuesday night.
The Daisy Cutter has rounded up some tweets by West Brom fans below:
I don’t think Livermore knows what he is. DM? CM?, AM? He’s all over the place

Ive come to terms that Livermore is just a centre circle plodder, nothing more. Still unsure why yacob was let go, he always won tackles and put himself about!!

Livermore’s role in the midfield has always been debated by West Brom fans, because it is so unclear what he actually does. Is he meant to be there to just break up the oppositions play? Because he’s not very good at it. Is he a box-to-box midfielder? He doesn’t seem to be involved in attacking play that much. The former Tottenham midfielder just seems like he’s there to make up the numbers most of the time.
Johansen had his best game for #WBA he really tried to drive the team forward. Livermore was garbage. Gibbs needs to come in for Townsend also.

Livermore is terrible

Livermore was not great against Bristol City but then again, who was? Even though West Brom scored two goals in the second-half, the 3-2 scoreline really flattered them. Livermore was at the heart of a terrible performance by the Baggies, who need to hire a manager as soon as possible.
Livermore is one of the worst central midfielders we have ever had.

It seems like this tweet got a lot of Albion fans talking on Twitter, because he is nowhere near the worst midfielder that has ever played for the Black Country club. West Brom had some real stinkers in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Kwame Ampadu and Mike Phelan have to be up there among the worst. At least Livermore has scored some memorable goals for the Baggies.
Livermore can just do one I’ve given up on him

Can’t wait to see the back of Jay Rod and Livermore

Beyond a joke. Dawson go Rodriguez go Johnstone go Bartley please get rid Livermore get rid

Should West Brom get rid of Livermore in the summer? They could do with shifting on half of their squad to be honest. It will give the next manager a lot of work to do in the summer, but so many players in the squad seem so stale right now.
