From the first five minutes yesterday, you could see the lack of intention from the players to play the ball out from defence. It was slow. There was little running from the midfield and Suarez was up top on his tod.
This was not the right signal to send out to us, the supporters - who contribute towards these extortionate wages, who were extremely let down by the midweek defeat and who were mostly getting slowly baked with the heat in the back of 305.
For one reason or another, we are not clicking in the league. Quite frankly, our attitude has given out the most putrid of smells when we haven't been up against one of the rivals or a team from the top four. Dalglish has to take responsibility for some of this. The players are to blame, but when the players are to blame, then you look to the manager to drum some sense into them and sort them out.
When you are verging on zero points for the whole month of March, then the message isn't getting through. I can appreciate that Arsenal was a game we could have won, but then it was Arsenal, so we seemed more up for it.
Yesterdays game lacked any sort of conviction that we may have had against Arsenal. For large portions of the game, Wigan knocked the ball about us as though they were F***ing Arsenal!!
Far too many players coasting along now and it has to stop. This is a wake up call for Dalglish and his players. Every 3 points are a must and caution is not something that should be first and foremost. Especially at Anfield.
