Adrian Goldberg stunned by Jayson Molumby for West Brom this week
Adrian Goldberg was left stunned by West Brom midfielder Jayson Molumby this week as he came into the side.
Injury to Alex Mowatt opened the door to the Irish international and he has grasped that with both hands against Swansea and Bristol City.
Goldberg believes the energy of Molumby was “incredible” and brought something different to what the suspended Jake Livermore does.
Speaking on the Liquidator Podcast this week, Goldberg was stunned by the Irish international in the heart of midfield.
“I’ll give you two reasons actually, Jayson Molumby and Robert Snodgrass,” he said.
“Both of them have been conspicuous by their absence this season, other than for fleeting appearances as substitutes as Valerien Ismael has stuck by Jake Livermore and Alex Mowatt.
“The energy that Molumby brought to that midfield, especially in the first-half when we tore Bristol City apart, I think was just incredible.”
Dilemma.
With such a huge clash against Fulham coming up at the weekend, it will be interesting to see the thought process of Ismael.
Does he stick with Snodgrass and Molumby in midfield who did so well and dominated Bristol City? Or does he bring back the experience of Mowatt and Livermore?
We don’t know if Mowatt is still struggling with his injury, but the most likely outcome is Livermore and Molumby.
Snodgrass hasn’t played much football since his injury, and Livermore is the skipper when fit and selected.
Could that be a mistake though? That partnership certainly didn’t work at Swansea, and let’s just cross our fingers and hope it doesn’t end up like that again.
