What a great birthday present from the reds thanks to the team on my 33rd birthday get in there.

Happy borthday, mate.
Happy birthday to Modo as well.

What happened to us? We used to have bday threads here. Not any more?
LTW - you used to run this show.
 
Well done Brendan, once again showing he is a reactive manager, changing it when things are not working. I was even more pleased for him because a gang of day trippers were slagging the man off at half time saying he had to go if we did not win. Show some support or stay at home. And watch the game instead of taking pictures every 10 minutes.

I'm convinced half the crowd watch the match on a 4" screen.
 
Enrique was good in spells but some of his passing and decision making was horrendous.

I'm glad that on the balance of things he's starting to improve though. We certainly need some of the players around Suarez to pitch in and he looks like he wants to do well, which is step 1.

Sterling was very good in the second half also. He has a really great attitude to go with all the other things we've mentioned over the last few weeks. Seems to love playing and works hard.

Good win. Nice to see us pick up 3 points at home for a change and after an international break too. Hopefully we can do likewise next week.
 
Good performance, on the whole. However, when Wigan are bad they are very, very bad. Their defending at times is comical, but then it always has been under Martinez.
 
Wouldn't be a normal week without another pop at Suarez. His tackle was worthy of a yellow, but wasn't intentional ...

In a game which saw Latics midfielder Ben Watson go off with a broken leg following a collision with Reds winger Raheem Sterling, which Martinez called 'an accident', the Spaniard was less than forgiving about what he considered a stamp from Suarez on Jones with no punishment.

"He was very fortunate because it was a stamp which the referee didn't see and that wasn't the sign of a top player," said the Latics boss following the 3-0 defeat at Anfield.

However, Martinez did praise the Uruguayan for his finishing which saw the much-maligned striker grab two goals before Jose Enrique added the third.

"The first finish is probably the real clinical one and a sign of a top player," he added.

"I thought we were the team who looked like being a real threat and I thought we stopped Liverpool completely.

"Unfortunately in the second half we suffered too much from the international fixtures.

"The first goal we gave it away - it was one of those days as nothing went our way.

"The second goal went in and the third goal came from a throw-in which should have been our ball.

"We attracted all sorts of bad decisions and bad luck."
 
Martinez needs to shut his trap. Has he been taking lessons off his gimp of an owner? Suarez is a top player you tit. You, however, aren't a top manager.
 
Dear Brendan - this comprehensive win was what I was asking for this week when I doubted your ability to exceed expectations. I am sorry for jumping the gun - I was being knee jerk. It's fabio's influence and GKmacca too. Thanks for the Lift. Sincerely me
