Liverpool v Wigan Post Match

[Mox79]

Just seen Rafa's interview. At least he said we were aweful. I think he has given them a bloody good bolloxing.....and much deserved.
First time i've seen Rafa like that!

How can you have players in your team like Reina, Johnson, Mascherano, Gerrard and Torres - along with squad players such as Lucas, Benayoun, Riera, Maxi, Babel etc and still do so poorly.

I'm not being a cunt, but think of a team such as;

Reina
Johnson Carragher Agger Insua
Lucas Mascherano
Maxi Gerrard Riera
Torres

- Obviously that's open to debate about where we're weak and where we're strong, but 80% of managers in the PL would kill for a team like that.

Apparently we had £60m of players on the bench tonight. I remember when we had a strong squad, would field our reserves and still get a result. What the **** is up? How can our team not beat the likes of Bramble, Scotland and Kirkland etc?

Honestly. I'm bemused. How can that team - that squad - those players - not beat a team like Wigan? Wigan ffs?!?!?!?!

He doesn't even ****ing show for the ball. There were occasions when Carragher, Kyrgiakos and Johnson had possession and were looking for help, and Aquilani should have been dropping into the space demanding the ball, but he just drifted forward into nothing positions, trotting around not even looking for space.

Trotting/strolling, call it what you want but he's is absolutely not the right player for LFC.

To be honest, right now I couldn't give a f*** who our manager was, watching Liverpool play this season has been a hollow, laborious, and most of the time frustrating experience. Even our wins have been mere sugar rushes that create a short-term distraction from the sheer joylessness of our playing style.

If we just had someone who could inspire our players (who as internationals DO have the ability to play well) to relax, enjoy themselves and play football, we'd soon regain the respect and admiration of our peers.

Rafa interviewed:

we didnt play well, especially in the first half
working hard but no game intelligence
fernando needs more games but team need to give him better balls
too many problems to point out anything in particular
told the players they have to show more character to get into the top 4

very downbeat, said nothing positive at all

[Le Chef]

Deja vu with Houllier's last season.

[spud_gun]

I feel a bit sorry for him cos he's come into a team of absolute ****e but yeah, he looks proper inept.

Are you auditioning for N'Dubz or something?

[UncleBob]

I've watched better school boy football.

If no one else wants to say it I will - Stevie looked he couldn't care less. Perhaps he wants out. Maybe the farcical way this club is being run has finally got the better of him.

Switch the lights off on your way out Rafa.

Deja vu with Houllier's last season.

With Aquilani as Diouf and Diao

Because Wigan contain players like: Kirkland, Boyce, Caldwell, Bramble, Figueroa, Diame, McCarthy, N'Zogbia, Scharner, Rodallega, Moreno. Subs: Stojkovic, Amaya, Thomas, Scotland, Moses, Gomez, Sinclair.

Say no more, yeah

[Helios Creed]

To be fair to him, about 89/90 minutes he got up and made forward gestures with his hands.

cautious forward gestures.

[kingfunk]

NEWSFLASH: Rafa "cannot guatantee we will win against portsmouth" Unless We have character. what a ****ing joke.

[javier_monsterano]

Forget this season,we'll win the europa league.

Next season the real Liverpool will turn up in the premiership.

[Roboklopp]

There are no positives. We could lose all the players and Rafa and the only one I'd bat an eyelid about is Reina.

Gerrard played like a huffy cunt tonight
