Wigan Athletic 0-4 Liverpool | Premier League match report | Football | The Observer
What has been irking me for some time now is the way the journos keep harping about Luis Suarez leaving Liverpool for one reason or another. Lately, QPR has been on the brunt of this sleazy reporting concerning their trip to Dubai. It seems sensationalism and controversy are the bywords of today's press. And what makes me taste bile is the easy way the presenters on TV parrot this stuff to the poor natives who seem ready to swallow any opinion so long as the colonial masters spout it. Coming back to the core of this rant, another favorite journo word, is the sublimity of Suarez in dispatching poor Wigan. This is bound to set off more Suarez departure headlines, but does not detract from the fact that this guy is probably one of the most gifted players of our time. Many were the times he left Wigan players for dead, and he even had the audacity to nutmeg Al-Habsi for his third. This is not to detract from other players' performances but if not for Suarez, well, it doesn't bear thinking about. After a nine day break from dispatching Zenit and Swansea, the lads continued where they had left off. Although this was not the smooth oily performance of the previous two games, there was many positives here. It has to be admitted that Liverpool's job was made easier by the woeful home side. Let's hope that Brendan addresses the negatives.
My favorite moment of the game had nothing to do with things on the park, rather, I found myself singing along to chants of Ra, Ra, Rafael, with a silly smile on my face. That's Liverpool for you. Here's looking forward to next week's triumvirate of Suarez, Coutinho and Sturridge for the Spurs visit.
