Luis Alberto’s second-half substitute’s performance against Newcastle Utd is attracting a lot of rave reviews from Liverpool fans.
The 20-year-old Spaniard came on to compose the Reds’ midfield, providing a much-needed link between defence and attack – something that has been highly criticised under the responsibility of Steven Gerrard and Lucas this season.
I think we deserved more than a draw, but always is good in away matches. Next step, WBA / Merecimos más, pero es un buen punto! #LFC #YNWA

Some are calling for Alberto to be given a starting role in Liverpool’s next game – at home to West Brom this Saturday, 26th October – should Philippe Coutinho not be passed fully fit yet.
Liverpool are looking to get their winning form back on track after drawing at St James’ Park at the weekend, and Steve Clarke’s side haven’t won since 28th September.
So we asked our followers on Twitter for their opinion: Would you start Luis Alberto on Saturday against West Brom at Anfield? Here’s a selection of what they said…

@thisisanfield Yep, if Coutinho isn't fit he's a better option as a no10 than Moses

@thisisanfield If Coutinho not available most definately yes. I would ditch the 3CBs as well, start with Agger & Toure/Sakho.
