LFC Vs Wigan Match Thread

[Shanks65]

BENCH

Dirk, Riise, Benayoun, Crouch, Itandje

[Rich]

We can still beat these clowns by 3 or 4 if we get our act together - although worryingly we aren't that soild at the back - a few dodgy moments between Arbeloa, Carragher and Reina.

Could do with that shiny new Centre Back sooner rather than later

[Kenneth]

Seriously, 1 striker at anfield against relegatino fodder

[CAD]

I would just love to sit down with Rafa and hear his reasoning for this 1st half.

[Hot Carl]

Kewell is so poor.

So is Pennant.

We have real problems with our lack of quality in wide areas.

Crouch needs to come on to give them something else to think about.

[kopdan]

some of you are so fickle its untrue

Wigan have come to get a draw. Of course it will be hard to break them down.

[L10]

Some of the passing has been piss-poor.Let's see how we take the second half.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

We don't need Alonso and Masher both sitting deep for a match like this.


Get one of them off and stick Crouch on.

Correct.

It's easy for the Wigan midfield, there's nobody breaking from midfield.

Mascherano did it once and nearly scored.

****in stick the skipper in there and let him bomb on.

Get Crouch on at half time for a ****in change eh Rafa?

[JohnDoe]

The formation is working great in the middle. Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard and Torres should be playing this way all the time, it's our wing play that's been hindering us. Pennant doesn't look fit and I'm losing faith in Kewell's ability to regain his pace, or some of it.

The number of strikers isn't what people should be looking at, we bring enough players to the box when we create something, it's our wingers' lack of penetration that spoils our game. Gerrard and Mascherano both got into good scoring positions and should have buried their chances, Torres is brilliant up front on his own. We don't need Kuyt to sit 40 yards from goal and do nothing when Gerrard does his role so much better.

[bigfooty]

If this is the 4-2-3-1 crushing machine can we please go back to Mike Bassett's 4-4-2?

[mick the click]

Brown deserves it. Dirty little ****house.

Very very poor first half, Rafa needs to either get the players in to play 4-2-3-1 or stick with 442.

Not poor - we're all over them...patience

Bruce amazes everyone with his 9-0-1 formation.

indeed

Some pinball football being played, some scary moments

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Nope. Your man Kuyt is on the bench instead.

He's lost the plot.

[The Erectile Banana]

Hope its for Kewell. Pennant has looked more lively than Kewell.

Agreed. Kewell has been horrible.

We really need better wide players. Kewell has been ok but Pennant can't get a cross in with some pace even if is life depended on it.

At least Pennant has got into positions to put crosses in. He's been able to beat his man and show a bit of pace and trickery. Kewell keeps losing posession and getting muscled off the ball. He doesn't have the pace or muscle to compete.

Yeah i can't figure it out, are we really at the stage where we have to fear the likes of mighty Wigan FFS!
