There is something that bothers me.

Does the Daily Mirror and lfc.tv have a thing for Gerrad. LFC.tv gave him MOTM and the Mirror will tomorrow as usual. Did anyone else think he was terrible in the second?

Honestly weould have had Skrtly, Masch, Lucas (until THAT moment) and Yos ahead of him.

Never seent the game Corn, what was the moment, did he give away the pen?

Yeah, was playing very well I must say, but then showed why he gets so much abuse. A stupid trip in the box when we were crusing it.

f**k sake, him and benayoun (foul v everton) have been doing themselves no favours the last while.

Lucas makes Paul Scholes look like Franco Baresi as far as tackling goes. He simply cannot make a challenge without fouling. No need even tonight to do what he did. This habit of giving stupid frees away was going to cost us sooner or later.

Yip and has to the maximum in the last two league outings. Shiocking stuff.

He gets away with it because of the great things that he can do on the pitch but there's times when he can be fairly anonymous and he does have a tendency to give the ball away a lot more than he should.

In the 2nd half Gerrard gave the ball away constantly. And deserved to be taken off and given a kick up the hole. If he'd taken him with 15/20 to go and brought on Alonso, I wouldnt have minded one bit. But taking him off when we need a goal was just nuts. I believe Rafa was just totally frustrated with him, but it was stupid.

Torres had to come off because he just wasn't right. Riera in itself wasnt a bad replacement, and to say it was a "midfielder for a forward" doesn't tell the true story because Babel moved up front, there was no change in formation. However given we haven't won a game in a month, the message it sent to everyone was "we're hanging on", whereas bringing on Keane in a straight swap would have sent the message "we're going to finish you off". The result was Wigan's game raised and we may have sat back.

I thought Benny was the player causing Wigan the most problems - baffled by the decision to take him off, and on the night Kuyt was a far easier job for the Wigan defence.

Hope Rafa stays with the scousers forever

With him in charge there will be no PL coming to Anfield
Going to be a tight race for the CL spots this season...........

Benayon was injured, he had to come off

Agreed. A loss on Saturday definitely ends Liverpools challenge this year. As mentioned, it will be tight for the CL spot with Villa doing so good and Arsenal still there.

Sorry Corn..

Sunday is now a massive game and all joking aside a place in the top 4 is doubtfull for Liverpool if they do not get the act together and go for the killer win in games but I can see nothing changing with Rafa in charge. He has lost enough points this season in a similar fashion... should have learned by now. He is simply not good enough to win the league! I hope he stays.

You might have to recount the detail of that for some of the United fans, pre-1993/Sky Sports and all that......
