KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum WIGAN - CONFIRMED TEAM & MATCH THREAD

Liverpool played ok. There was just one fundamental problem. A lack of forward players actually playing in the final third of the pitch. If Kenny could ditch this formation and throw 2 strikers up with someone launching themselves from the hole then perhaps we'll have half a chance. I'm thoroughly depressed. The amount of times I think we are getting closer but are actually further away. It's terrible. Coates should have started.

I don't really know what to say except that was really sad to watch..

Only positive for me was seeing the youngsters get some play time.

im crying in pain at watching this liverpool team we are so bad it,s hard to comprehend to give that bunch of players £60.000 or more a week is a travesty in it,s slef, im not watching another league game for the rest of the season unless he starts to play the youngsters to see how they fair out and they cant be as bad a that bunch iv just watched...

Massive changes required at this once almighty club!
The mentality of the players is sh1t and KD obviously can't fix it and we are the laughing stock of the premier league.
We will struggle to hold onto any of our talented players, and they are few, let alone attract big name players to repair this shattered team.
I've been patient or a very long time but I think it's time for KD to pull the pin before he further damages his reputation at this once mighty club! He is the reason I live this clubs and began to support it and I always will but he is making the place a shambles and really showing his inadeqacies in the managerial position! Why the f*ck do we start with 1 striker playing at home to a relegation side? Blind farking Freddy can see that it hasn't worked season so why not change it? Yes I am absolutely gutted by this defeat against a side that will struggle to stay in the premiership and if we continue down this track for much longer we will be joing them in the league below!

Something needs to be done and FAST before we free fall any further!

Yes, we are a laughing stock. Closer to bottom of league than top.

In 1 year Kenny has made us into the most mediocre team in the league..full of 5/10 average sh!t British players. Whilst also wasting 100m plus...

Dear oh dear if only Rafa could have worked under these conditions!

Simple answer to that is YES!

It's unfortunate but I believe he should.

It's 430am here in Australia, and I got up to watch this trash!!!

I am gutted!

Goodnight. :-(

What was he thinking. 4-5-1 vs 3-4-3, blurring to 4-4-2 with Henderson on the right. Or maybe in the middle. Or maybe... Downing roaming all over the place rather than just staying the f*cking left where he's actually good. Carroll should have started and no amount of luck will change that, Kenny! Why is it so hard to pick the formation that actually wins games, you know, like the one that beat Wolves, Everton and Stoke?

The only thing he got right was getting Carroll on at half time, and giving Sterling a run-out. For the rest it was clear we didn't have a clue. We dominated for the first 20 minutes and had maybe one attempt on goal! Once again we made all the running, and once again we got what we deserved - nothing!

I'm starting to wonder whether Dalglish will be in charge long enough to get those two FA Cup games that may save his job. Watching the LFC fans leaving the ground early and hearing the boos should have brought it home that this is far from good enough. 8 points from the last 12, and Hodgson's 25 points from 20 is looking like gold right now.

For me he shouldn't stay simply because of his signings. Every single one has been bad bar enrique yet cost us a fortune.

I really would like to see a young manager, (no good british options so I'd go foreign), somehting different, something the players can get behind. I would honestly take a hit on Carroll, downing, hendo and adam and move every single one on. Maybe keep carroll as an off the bencher. If he's first choice striker next year we won't get top 4.

Guys, relax we were just tired.

"I think we looked a wee bit tired," he said. "We had a lot of possession in the game but we gave away the ball quite a lot in vital positions. It's not because they can't play, it's because of tiredness.

"If you play Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday it's going to take its toll. A lot of the lads had played all three games, and for us that's a reason behind our performance.

"It's because of the demand on them with games, and we've not had enough players at our disposal to give them adequate rest.

"It's a problem we face and it's dictated to the clubs and the players by the television schedule. The fact we've done well in two cup competitions has obviously given us lots of extra fixtures.

"We'll accept our progress in the cups and we'll have to accept that we're going to be a little bit tired. If we're going to be successful we've got to be able to handle it." - Kenny after Wigan defeat

see? nothing to worry about...
