LFC Vs Wigan Match Thread

Torres spreads it to Pennant but a poor first touch allows Bramble across to slide it out.

Pennant making Bramble look good....

[Kenneth]

Sorry

It is crap though.

[Hot Carl]

I guarantee the introduction of Crouch would change this game. We need two up top, Torres needs support.

[lfc4ever]

Get some players in the bloody box, get some decent deliveries in there.

Dullards.

Pennant and Kewell are getting plenty of the ball but they are so ineffective!!! Pennants final ball is so poor. He crosses way too early instead of driving for the line or into the box. Then its a big chipped cross to no-one in particular. Kewell just seems half hearted. Jumping out of tackles. We just cannot break them down and unless Rafa changes it we are looking at 0-0.

[bigfooty]

Fabio with a great pass in behind, Gerrard bursts through trying to make contact but Brown covers up and clears.

Kewell on the left, Xabi trys a reverse pass but it is cleared. Wigan under pressure now, having to defend more as they try to get to H-T at 0-0.

[Hot Carl]

Pennant woeful on his return

[slimbimjim]

Why the **** can Pennant not keep the ball at his feet? Does he have rubber boots?

[CAD]

I don't like this formation at all! Playing with Alonso and Mascher in a home match is too cautious and overkill. Put Crouch or Kuyt on asap.

How many crosses into the box so far to nobody?

[Rich]

Kewell not having an effective game so far

[Jayesh87]

Derby just hit the bar.

[bigfooty]

Groans from the fans as we go back to Pepe.

Kewell overruns the ball, gets it back, good tackle denys him.

Wigan really getting stretched. Finnan caught by Taylor.

Free-kick to us about 40 yards out on the right.

[Rich]

Great chance

[bigfooty]

Xabi whips in a free-kick, low, Torres flicks it on from the edge of the box and just lands on the roof of the net. Almost.
