Sky Sports pundit shocked by what Jake Livermore did in West Brom loss v Nottingham Forest
Andy Hinchcliffe slammed West Brom midfielder Jake Livermore for his red mist in Monday night’s 4-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest.
The England international was constantly in the referee’s ear as decisions seemingly kept going against the Baggies.
However, things reached a boiling point when he kicked the ball into the stands due to frustration and was not reprimanded for it.
Hinchcliffe, who is on co-commentary on Sky Sports, said, “What on Earth are you doing. He’s apologising but you can’t be doing that. He seems to be really rattled by this.”
Shocking
We’re surprised that Livermore has seven caps for the England national team.
It’s hard to let that sink in given how woeful he’s been for the Baggies in the past few months.
Against Forest, he arguably put in one of his worst-ever Championship performances and even the most ardent of supporters would find it hard to defend him.
We’re baffled that he wasn’t shown a yellow card all game because there were plenty of visible instances of him dissenting.
He clearly did not hold himself in the highest of regards and it will be surprising if he’s still featuring for the Baggies next season.
A massive reboot is needed this summer and players like Livermore need to be shown the door.
