SPYIN KOP: LIVERPOOL V WIGAN

Hi to you

It has been very inconsistant which is a massive dissapointment to all of us consider our excellent first game on the season. It is a hugr problem for the team one which Bobby needs to sort out asap.

Gomez has been a sensation in midfield tbh but I’ve been most impressed with Rodders, if only Bobby would place him upfront consistantly I think we would be higher up in the league. Without him in my opinion we wouldn’t be a high in the league as we are.

No doubt my dissapointment of the season has been Scotland. Although he was from the Championship I expected much better of him. He has still yet to score and seems to have become a scapegoat for many Wigan fans, although alot of the time I think he deserves it.

It’s most likely Bobby will keep to what he thinks is best. Which is a 4-5-1 formation. Kirkland in the net if he is injury free, back four consisting of Figs,Bramble,Boyce and Melchiot. The midfield will consist of Rodders on the left cutting in on his favoured foot with N’Zogbia doing the same from the opposite side. Scharner,Gomez and Diame through the middle. With Scotland most likely doing FA up front on his own. :lol:

If the boss can sort out the inconsistancy we could easily finish in the top half, we have a better squad than Birmingham and the are join on points with you. If doesn’t sort this inconsistancy out I can see us slipping towards relegation but I don’t think we have a chance of actually getting relegated because the are plenty teams than are easily worse than us. Eg Pompey etc etc.

I’m going to cheat a little, I would have Reina over Kirkland any day of the week because I don’t really rate Chris. I’d snap up Johnson in a second as I think one of the major problems with our defence atm is our ‘captain’ Melchiot. Glen Johnson is easily the best RB in the prem atm and soon will be one of the best in the world. He is up there atm already tbh. From midfield and strikers it’s quite obvious who would get picked. If Gerrard was to show the passion for Wigan like he does for Liverpool he would be a GREAT addition to the squad because of the range of his abilities. Of course from the strikers I would pick Torres ( Have you actually got any other good strikers? :lol: ) , behind Drogba he is the best striker in the Prem atm.

Easy decision imo, Rodders would be a good addition for Liverpool, it seems that without Torres, Liverpool don’t know how to score. If Rodders was to get the same service as Torres recieves he would bag plenty. He can score screamers from the edge of the box aswell as poach from inside the area.

Even though Liverpool are in a slump, I think that tomorrow with a fit Gerrard and a fit Torres you won’t have a problem taking all three points.

Definately.

1) With Martinez as manager your season has been exceptionally inconsistent, how much of a problem is this for you guys when your getting wins at home against the big teams, namely Chelsea but losing against the little teams, namely Birmingham?

As with any club there are teams that we must aim to beat in order to get to where we want to be. Unfortunately these are the teams we are losing to (hull, wolves, birmingham, portsmouth) Hopefully it won’t be something that costs us too much because with a few more players we have the potential to be a good side.

2) Heskey’s left, Valencia’s left. Gomez, Rodallega, Scotland etc… have arrived, who’s impressed you the most and why?

From the new signings – Diame and Thomas. Gomez was ok on Saturday but seems to want too much time on the ball which you don’t get in the PL. Scotland is working hard but seems low on confidence. A winning goal tomorrow will hopefully solve that. ;) Diame and Thomas though have been superb. Diame especially. N’Zogbia looks really good and Scharner is playing pretty well too.

3) On the other side of that coin, who’s been your most dissapointing player of the season?

I would say Scotland. You can’t have players up front who aren’t scoring in this league.

4) What sort of team can we be expecting to face when the teams line-up tomorrow night?

We’ll go 4-3-3 (or 4-5-1 as it seems to be to me). More than likely with the same XI as Saturday.

5) So, moving onto your season; what’s your hopes and where do you actually believe you will finish

A little more consistency (the good kind) and we could easily finish top 10 I think. I’d be happy with anything from 8th to 14th though really providing there is no last day drama.

6) I’m going to steal this one from last years Spyin’ Kop; Taking one player from our defence, midfield and attack which three Liverpool players would you like to see sign for Wigan tomorrow if money was no option and Why?

Agger – real solid player who would sure our defence up no end
Babel – don’t understand why he doesn’t get the game time he deserves at Anfield. Cracking player with pace, a good cross and an equally good shot
Torres – do I need to explain?

7) If you’ve seen Liverpool at all this season, what one Wigan Athletic player do you think would bring some improvement to our team?

I think N’Zogbia would fit in well because Kuyt seems to be playing wide and is far from a wide player.

8) 15th and 18th in the form league suggests both are teams are playing pretty poorly at the moment, who do you think will come out on top tomorrow evening?

I’d like to say us, but I think a draw is the best we can hope for. The ‘big club, little club’ attitude will always hinder us at places like Anfield. Just look at last years game for example. Best side, beaten by a poor decision.

9) Finally, I have to mention it, Figueroa’s goal… Goal of the season?

Distance wise definitely. Sometimes I think team goals deserve more credit than they get, but it’ll certainly be up there.

1) Well it’s rather frustrating if I’m honest. I just don’t know what they are going to do from one game to the next. The Tottenham game for me just summed up our season so far. Our defending hasn’t been up to scratch.

2) Rodallega has been quite impressive. He has everything to be a good premier league striker. We definitely miss Heskey upfront though and Cattermole/Palacios as the steel in the midfield.

3) Gomez or Scotland. Came in with a good reputation at Swansea. Just haven’t delivered the goods at a consistent level.

4) 4-5-1
Kirkland
Melchiot – Boyce – Bramble – Figueroa
N’Zogbia – Thomas – Scharner – Diame – Koumas
Rodallega

5) My hopes and my expectations are two different things. I hope we will finish in the top half. But the expectation is that they will avoid relegation. Probably 14th or 15th at best.

6) Daniel Agger. Top youngish defender with plenty to offer in terms of attack and defending, obviously. Has a belter of a left foot on him to which can help us out with our goal threat.

Steven Gerrard. Has been one of the best midfielders of his generation. Can attack, defend, play out wide, play deep or play in his most noted role of being just behind Fernando Torres.

Fernando Torres. Possibly the best striker in the world at the moment, especially when fully fit. Has everything a striker needs.

7) Someone out wide such as N’Zogbia, Liverpool are lacking natural width and he hugs the touchline.
Plus someone who can step in if Torres isn’t playing. Rodallega has been a revelation this season and would be superb cover for Torres.

8) Honestly, Liverpool. They are in need of a win and the pressure is all on them to get the result. Its going to be a very scrappy 1-0 to them I reckon. Hope i’m wrong though.

9) Definately a contender isn’t it? We’ll have to see what the rest of the season brings but such a great goal that was worthy of winning the game.

There you go mate,

Ben Dawber.

why is gerrard a diving bastard?
