FFS we won, it was a great occasion tonight with the shankly boys etc coming on to the pitch at half time, that in itself made the players proud to wear the famous red shirt tonight, an if any so called added pressure was felt by them, they lifted themselves up tonight to win a football game an fecking made up they did just that!

tonight was an occasion that always will an quite rightly payed tribute to 'shanks' an what he stood for, as far as this FC  will always stand for for me- sing,support the team an remember what made this FC an carried us through dis-appointment to victory an success an continued succes through good times an challenging times. 'shanks' made one thing clear through all of this- we as a FC,it's fans an everyone connected with LiverpooL fc face it together, cause that is what is FC,city an everyone that loves Liverpool deserve.

so tonight was brilliant for me, the mosaic on the 'kop' was a superb tribute to 'shanks' an the win was somthing we should all be proud of!

Is right lad

The FLAG WAS ALREADY UP on the shot that hit the bar.

It was a good performance IMO, it wasn't perfect, but it was the right result and it could have been better.  I don't think you can say that they deserved anything from it, it was (almost) all us.

Posters either need to be results people or performance people Its not fair to be someone who cannot accept a good performance that has a bad result AND ALSO a person who cannot accept a poor performance that has a good result. Pick one, because you are just being a negative nit-picker if your allowed to attack manager for both.

We had some very sustained periods of dominance, which was nice to see. We created enough chances, and took a couple.  We did allow Wigan a few periods of sustained posesion, and the odd chance, which you don't want to see, but we have looked worse defensively this year and don't forget that we had Skrtel at CB and Carra at RB, plus we weren't playing with 2 holding mids, and one of our CMs didn't have one of his best games (although I thought Masch played quite well)

The players were on the front foot and knew if they made the runs Gerrard would try to find them. Once Lucas came on the passing became negative, we didn't move the ball forward as fast or as aggressively and Wigan came back strongly. We may not lose possession as much with Lucas, but he doesn't create the same threat with his passing either, and he doesn't get the team moving forward. They are all stood flatfooted waiting rather than making runs or anticipating a forward ball.

I really thought it was emphasised tonight.

The other point was that Wigan were frightened of trying to press too much when Gerrard was in midfield because they knew he could kill them with one pass, when Lucas came on they were comfortable pressing because they knew Lucas couldn't.

Guess we will have to agree to disagree then mate - numerous times wigan looked threatening in the first half was becuase they were gifted the ball to them from gerrard and lucky for him that masher helped him out on a number of times . Improved massively in second half back to the gerrard we know thou .

Disagree with you there, I don't think Wigan posed any real threat in the first half.

I found it really refreshing to see us start the match playing a basic 4-4-2 , creating loads of chances and with  better finishing we could have been at least 3 up at half time.

I'd be more than happy if Rafa continued with a midfield pairing of Mascherano and Gerrard with Torres and another up front.

Lets ignore the chances we missed and concentrate on how lucky we were that their finishing was so poor.

You're boring me now Benny .
