Hey everyone
i dont really go to many games cos i live quite far from liverpool and am a poor student! Was at the game last night and just have a couple of points:
Firstly I thought Gerrard was very poor and looked uninterested. the wigan players passed it around him in midfield and he didnt offer much going forward- he rarely demanded the ball like i thought he would and what a central midfielder should. His body language didnt seem right. (if know we're going through an awful spell but he's our captain and is usually the one that drags us out of trouble) Hopefully he gets his form back soon.
Thought Mascherano was immense. Brilliant at sniffing out danger and constantly putting in good tackles and won many headers above two central midfielders that were much taller. We have to hold onto him.
Benny had a really good game, created a lot of chances in the first half that would have put the result out of sight but when we didnt take tham wigan grew into the game, our defence looked really shakey and they should have scored more than the one goal they did.
Ngog did well and has potential, would prefer a more established attacker to back up torres, but ngog is improving and has more than pulled his weight this season imo.
Think we're in desperate need of some more pace on the wings. Bar johnson we dont really have anyone fast out wide. Kuyt is too slow to be on the wing, especially with the first touch he has. He ran his bollix off as usual though and would be helped if there was a lot more pace around him.
Any way im interested in knowing what other peoples thoughts are of that assessment.
