To be honest, that was fairly fucking limp. Knocked down a peg from the highs of the last few weeks, as we just couldn't make anything happen. Slow to move the ball, stray passing. Obviously we're not the finished article and were going to land with a bit of a bump after seven hours without conceding, but we surrendered two points far too easily there.

 

Still work to do.

well, we've played a second string team today - no agger, no stevie, and when we lost raul, it was all the firepower empty - although suarez showed some nice touches and an accurate shooting foot.

has pepe gone public about leaving cos nobody looked like they could be bothered for most of the game, and I'm wondering if there's been some shit behind the scenes. we obviously don't play well on saturdays.

 

positives:- suarez is immense , he's gonna be massive for us. and we're still undefeated.

 

What the fuck are you on? Our team today was nowhere near second string. Your point about not looking interested? Fuck that.

 

We're not undefeated, by any stretch of imagination. In fact, I've lost count of the number of defeats we've had.

Argh, a deserved point for Wigan. Agger makes a huge difference to our play from the back, we obviously missed Stevie as well.. We looked unbalanced without him. Lucas left alone in midfield far too often, and he didn't deal with it too well.

 

Deserved in terms of their general play. My stream fucked up so I didn't actually see their goal from a decent angle.

Wigan deserved their point. Shame we had to wait until the last ten minutes to show any sense of urgency.

 

Difficult to see why Jovanovic hasn't been playing much. Got a fucking world beater on our hands there.

 

Not convinced with the tactical change and substitution around 55 minutes. Pacheco should have featured at some point. We were crying out for someone other than Suarez to show some confidence on the ball in the final third.

 

Missed Agger, a lot. Carragher was excellent defensively, but when he's alongside Skrtel we're so alehouse in our distribution from the back.

Days like today only show that the rebuilding has a long, long way to go - we need to refit a lot of the midfield (esp out on the two flanks, and we definitely need a protector and enforcer in there), and at least two new defenders (LB and a commanding CB). I'm sure Kenny is finding out a lot about some of the fringe players, and games like this are rather more reliable as a guide than matches such as last week's.

it completely, 100% ends any pretensions of CL football for next season - 6th is the very highest we can go

 

Why do people bother to make these kind of 'authoritative' assertions? It was hugely unlikely before the game and it's hugely unlikely after, but it didn't all hinge on two extra points. Put the crystal balls away.
