Match Day Thread: Liverpool VS Wigan, KO - 1500hrs

Well I'm stuck at work at the moment so I thought I'd do a match Day Thread for us all!!

Liverpool 1 - 1 Wigan​

Raul Meireles 23' ​

Gohouri 65'​

FULL TIME RESULT​

 

Here's the team: Reina, Kelly, Carragher, Skrtel, Johnson, Maxi, Lucas, Meireles, Aurelio, Suarez, Kuyt. Subs: Gulacsi, Pacheco, Jovanovic, Kyrgiakos, Wilson, Ngog, Poulsen. Not sure about Aurelio in the midfield. I'd rather him and Johnson swap, Aurelio at LB and Johnson at LW or RW.

 

I think Johno's pace in midfield would be more exciting and I think Fabio defends better so I agree.

Glad Luis got a start today... Exciting MOTD later... For now though Radio Merseyside!

 

According to the BBC website, Wigan have 59% Possesion... Listening to the Radio seems like Suarez is getting involved well...

 

MEIRELES!!

 

Bloody Raul Meireles again!! He's turning out to be a right quality player!!

 

meireles!

I wanna know why all the commentators say Meirelesh though. Is it really pronounced like that? Coz my wife is Brazilian (also speak portuguese) and she says it's wrong! it should just be said how it looks, meireles.

 

LOL!

He gets it 30-35 yards out in space and the whole kop shouts "SHOOOOOOOT!!"

 

Over ambitious commentaters lol...

 

I hope Liverpool win.

 

We have been pretty poor today

 

yeah not great, i wonder why meireles went off after just 53 minutes?

didnt look injured to me...

oh here comes jovanovic! wonder if he can redeem himself....

 

Oh i missed the whole second half commentary due to some prick at work making me actually do work... COCK! lol anyway I've heard we were ****? Correct or non?

 

Correct. We showed none of the possetion and passing skills that we had in the last four games, we just looked desperate and the lack of quality in the final third was poor. Season write-off, seriously.Time to invest in the squad and really push for fourth next season.

 

Write-off? We were doing ok last four games?

 

Yea I thought we were too, have no idea what went wrong this game though. It was like a flash back to a few months ago. Hoofball, missed passes, sideways passing etc etc. I just don't know why we've suddenly changed mentality. I just can't see us getting any higher than 6th/7th.

 

I'm sure Kenny will rectify this and get it sorted. I do hope we play better against Prague as I've made a lot of effort to go!!

 

on the PLUS side, however, it was Suarez' full debut and he looked very tidy indeed. Two almost goals; one that pinged off the post and the other off the crossbar. He was harrassing Wigan defenders all game, I counted at least 3/4 fouls on him as he tried to break for goal. First touch could have been a little better though, only criticism.

 

Players looked tired due to midweek internationals. Once Carroll's fit, he'll add another dimension. Definitely missed Gerrard's presence and Agger's coolness on the ball. Was it just me or was Wigan's goal offside? Where I was sitting, it bloody looked like it. That was a shocking decision.

 

Well i'm stuck at work still so I'll have to catch it all on MOTD later. Glad Suarez was playing well It'll be great to see him hit the ground running in the PL. two key players out today though it was gonna be different from the other games. Agger for me has proved in the last four why he is our most important defender his ability to play out from defence allows us to link up much better.
