Wasnt this the reason he, along with chris brown and ben alnwick got the boot from Sunderland?

Hes a good championship player and in fairness to him he was half decent in the premiership too, I recall a cracker against Chelsea. He'd just be a squad man though.

Never before has a truer word been spoken. Uncle's from Stoke and a massive fan so he's always telling me about them, especially how Liam Lawrence is doing.

**deecay** · 25/02/2008, 4:02 PM

Attacking or right mid

**Seagull-4-life** · 25/02/2008, 4:10 PM

Mainly a right winger mate but could play just off the striker as well i'd say...some shot on him

**carloz** · 25/02/2008, 4:23 PM

Will be nice if Stoke come up. Nice irish contingent there and i believe that Lawrence and Whealan might have a role to play for us very soon

**eirebhoy** · 25/02/2008, 5:39 PM

He's either scored or set up over half of Stokes goals this season. Not bad in the team top of the league.

I know I bang on about this alot, but one important thing about Lawrence is that not only is he a handy player, but he's big and athletic. That's one reason Kilbane has been so important for us. On the opposite side of the pitch I think Lawrence is a better player and has at least Kilbane's physicality.

Who is a better footballer - Ireland or Lawrence? Ireland I'd say, but I'd be more comfortable with Lawrence playing right midfield because he can handle himself against the big boys.

And he appears to have learnt from mistakes, unlike Ireland.

He was Sunderland's best player last time they were up (I know that's not saying much). Was unlucky with injuries and was always for the high jump once that sex tape came out (the lass in it was a proper Sunderland scrubber to boot, what was he thinking?!).

Funny thing is Sunderland could really do with him at the moment, maybe RK was a little hasty in letting him go. His old mate Yorkie has some similar celuloid antics floating around if memory serves me correctly after all!

**paul_oshea** · 26/02/2008, 2:28 PM

LIAM LAWRENCE is hoping Giovanni Trappatoni can find the Potteries on his map of the British Isles � now that the Stoke winger is a star in stripes again.

The midfielder scored a spectacular volleyed goal to keep Stoke in top spot.

He has been here before, winning the Championship with Sunderland three years ago, and reckons he can repeat that.

But the Stoke flier admitted he was gutted earlier this month after being ignored by the Republic of Ireland.

His response has been to grab four goals in as many matches and now he wants new Republic boss Trappatoni to come and see for himself.

Lawrence, 26, aims to cap a superb season by returning to the top flight and making the Italian�s first Republic squad.

He said: �I don�t know if Mr Trappatoni knows where Stoke is. But we�ll have to get him down here. I think that would open his eyes a bit!�

Lawrence was called up two years ago by Steve Staunton but never capped.

He added: �If I carry on playing well then I�ve got every chance. All I can do is keep doing what I�m doing and hope someone will have a look.

�To have 13 goals from midfield is very pleasing

�There�s competition with the strikers, we�ll be fighting over penalties soon!

�I have scored a better goal with my left foot for Sunderland at Fulham. I got BBC�s Goal of the Month for that but this was close to my best.
