Tim Iroegbunam

[Footy-Vill]

19 Year old who Steven Gerrard has said is close for first team action deserves a thread now as been making the squads and bench
The defensive midfielder wasn't loaned out in winter window so perhaps soon we can see him get some minutes in our remaining games this season.

Gerrard:
"Tim is extremely close , he’s training really well and did well in the two friendlies we played behind closed doors.I know he’s ready but, the midfield area at the moment for us, I’m really pleased with it. It’s looking good, looking strong. Tim has to keep pushing and fighting.”

From Great Barr we took him off WBA and maybe in time be our defensive midfielder answer. High hopes again for this lad!

I've never seen him play apart from a few clips, but have read lots of good thing about him. If the midfield (ie McGinn and Luiz) performs as badly as it did against Leeds, he can't be far away from making a debut.

"I know he’s ready but, the midfield area at the moment for us, I’m really pleased with it. It’s looking good, looking strong."

First time I take exception to a Gerrard-statement so far. Our midfield is so inept defensively, and has been for so very long, it's criminal.

OK Gareth

Gerrard also said our exertions Wednesday night were through the roof and that he may need to make some changes for today's game. Might be a good time to throw him in, play him as a defensive midfielder and see if that helps the others look better like when Nakamba was playing.

He can't be thinking that right now.

Or maybe not

Tim Iroegbunam sounds like Alan Curbishley trying to pronounce "Birmingham".

He might get a game next week

Instead he plays hapless Meatball and Luiz again. Fuck off with favourites !

Who Alan Curbishley ?

Quite right. He needs to show his metal now and use the squad and rest said favourites.

[Risso]

Well Gerrard has said he’ll make changes. Needs to start with McGinn and Luiz.

you don’t hear about him much anymore  do you ?
