Stevie Warnock

[Falconhoof]

Had a good game I thought. Came up with some solid tackles, nothing wild or reckless. He seemed to have an edge about him, more confidence than previously.

[Ste M]

Agreed, and I don't rate the lad at all.

[Shirohana]

Yep. Did well, seemed a lot more mature in his play... Looking to build an attack whereas previously he'd try and clear asap.

 

Little worried when he had cramp later on. Needs a couple of games under his belt.

He's been Rafarised

[billybunter]

if only his distribution could improve as he is a great little fighter

[Guest Sabre]

Always worried he will injure himself but he was good tonight. Composed on the ball, good energy and didn't dive in.

[Swipe]

Perhaps the fact Rafa refused to include him in any deal for Neill has boosted his confidence.

 

Don't think he'll ever be top class, but a much better bet at LB than the really very average Aurelio, IMO.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Our backline looked good tonight which was very comforting.

[Guest Sabre]

Aurelio just doesn't have enough bite right now but I think he can adapt. He's got the technical ability and the intelligence - just needs to get stuck in.

[americanscouser]

he looked much more tactically aware this evening then last season. most times he was in good position, read the game well and cleaned up when need be. got in some good tackles and never looked stretched.

 

it could be a one off, but i thought it was the only thing that was holding him back was the ability to play together as part of a very cohesive back 4

are you kidding? i was pulling my hair out at the number of times he hoofed the ball forward over the head of Kuyt... it was doing my head in

[Andy @ Allerton]

Nice to see Warnock doing well .

[Guest AnfieldGrass]

I think the lad just needs a decent run, I mean whats the longest string of games he's had in the first team? Bugger all. I think he's shown enough to be relied on more often and could just surprise some of us if given a long run. Didn't we have some doubts about Finnan for a while a few seasons back? You never know.

[Coyler]

Carra was guilty of too many hoofs imo, there were times the ball was given away when the easier option was to pass to Reina or control the ball.

I'd be surprised if, after Saturday, Carra didn't take to the pitch last night with a mental standing order to himself to hoof everything remotely hoofable and keep it hoofed.

[Case]

Steve Warnock is as good as Wayne Bridge. Fact. Or opinion.

 

You decide.

[Bootle Buck]

To be honest he was rarely put under pressure. Both teams were very cautious and unadventurous. He also had Aurelio in front of him who played fairly defensive too.

Defensively they are equal. However, Bridge is pretty dangerous going forward.

[Frosty Jack]

Aurelio doesn't look particularly happy playing anywhere right now, he's going to need time to settle, but he's a solid option for LM at the moment regardless.

[fyds]

Always rather liked Warnock.
