Some West Brom fans have been reacting negatively to a recent tweet from stats-focused Twitter account @Between_TL, who have excluded Baggies midfielder Jake Livermore from a Twitter poll to decide who will occupy the central midfielder role in their Championship team of the season.
@Between_TL have recently been putting together a Championship team from the season so far, by polling Twitter users to decide on which players should be included in the team. Some West Brom fans have taken exception to one of the account’s recent polls, which excluded Livermore from the options to be included in the team’s central midfield position.
Livermore has featured heavily for the Baggies this season, playing in 36 of West Brom’s 37 league games so far this term. He has earned an average overall rating of 6.78 (according to WhoScored.com) for his performances in the Baggies’ 2019/20 Championship campaign.

What do we think?
Considering how heavily he has featured for a Baggies side who currently sit in second place in the Championship table, it may be understandable why some Baggies supporters have reacted negatively to the @Between_TL’s recent poll for the central midfield options.
However, these fans appeared to be unaware that Livermore was earlier considered for the team’s CDM position – in which he was narrowly ousted by teammate Romaine Sawyers. So while their anger may have been justified, they may have simply missed the opportunity to give Livermore the credit they felt he deserves.
