Poor decision. There's no point in Cole being on the bench. He gives us nothing.

Secondly, what was the point in bringing Carra & Shelvy on so late? The game was won after the third goal went in. Better to take Luis off with 15-20 to go to give him a bit of a rest and avoid unnecessary injury? Same with taking Agger off so late. No reason he couldn't come off with 15-20 to go as well. And why not give Coates some game time when we're cruising at 3-0 instead of Carra? confused

Missed opportunities, methinks, BR. Despite that, an encouraging result.
This is a very good thread unlike most.

i agree with you about the bench and i would personally would have taken off suarez when we went up 2=0. i can understand about keeping him on and seeing if he can get a hattrick but his the only striker we have and we should try to protect him.


i agree that its of benefit to not overburden players but as Suarez will probably be getting a midweek rest I think it's ridiculous to suggest that we should be looking to only give him 60mins playing time per week. The guys on a roll and this whole thread seems to be searching longingly for something to moan about. Its been a good day, enjoy it!
i have a feeling suarez will play a part on thursday and for that reason woild have taken him off alot earlier

Agger has been having a niggling groin problem and therefore sensible to bring him off late on.
Suarez only needs one more booking and he misses a game. Also a win against young boys could see us through into the next round so he will probably start.
Henderson added real energy to the midfield which was bit flat, his closing down started caused several errors in Wigans play resulting in the first goal. his best game in a long time.

overall in game management by BR is recent weeks has been really good. blues, chelsea and Wigan changes made have had positive impact on the game.

I think Rodgers couldn't take Suarez out earlier, If your a striker and you're on a hatrick, believe me you would be mad going off 20minutes earlier so Rodgers couldn't do anything there until it was a bit late.

Absolutely not! I simply "voiced" my opinion. Yes it could be taken as a negative but my intention was to be constructive. Having supported Liverpool man and boy for over 40 years, I do not need to "search longingly" for topics about which to moan as there are plenty!!


In God we trust. Everyone else is a suspect.
