Was this split into the main forum or did someone just start a seperate thread?
Some one has started a separate thread by the looks of it.
That aside.... yesterday, we were terrible, gutless and it was nothing short of what we actually deserved. Our defence was very exploited very easily at times but that mainly being due to us having no defensive cover from midfield what-so-ever.Our midfield was in shambles - from wasteful Downing, to Adam's terrible slow game, to barely mentioned Henderson and non-existent Maxi. Kuyt should really have buried the cleverly worked freekick from 7 to 8 yards, and Suarez alone with all the trauma from the fucking FA and co. just couldn't do it all himself.
Defense wise - Johnson was terrible going forward and Skrtel and Agger did well to manage Wigan's counter attacks. Pepe was reliant as ever and José was our MOTM. He defended brilliantly and was the only person actually looking to fucking attack.
Subs barely had any impact on the game. Bellamy hardly had a sniff at goal. Shelvey's presence brought very little to the already less contributing midfield and it would be hypocritical to say this as when he plays- we moan and when he could have been yearning for those crosses from José last night - we could have won it easily. Yet, 5 mins is barely enough for him and thus he contributed nothing.
Tactically, I don't know what the fuck we were supposed to be doing cause obviously we were lost doing shit. Downing cutting inside to no effect and offering very little. Maxi's movement was abysmal all game long and Adam and Henderson had a shocker. So, from a neutral perspective - Martinez' whether helped by our awful game, got it right.
I have patiently waited before agreeing upon what kind of striker we need, but it is simple. Since Suarez is the one making all the space we need one who will put the fucking ball into the net.
On a last note, should Caldwell have been sent off for denying a shot at goal with hand, deliberately, with no one but Al-Habsi to save it, whether that was likely or not. Even if it did not deserve a red, it surely was a yellow and the second booking later would have resulted in a sending off. Just saying, cause we didn't deserve to win that game anyway.
