Liverpool’s Soul-Crushing Defeat to Wigan

All around them, teams are gutting out wins when they really need them. Man Utd v Wolves was a prime example – three points is three points, no matter how shabby the performance.

So when Liverpool went and did the opposite against Wigan, well, I can only imagine how deflating that must be.

The Guardian sums up Liverpool’s plight:

The Anfield club would have reclaimed fourth place with a win. Instead, a seventh away defeat of the Premier League campaign left them sixth, a point behind Tottenham Hotspur in the final Champions League place but having played one game more than Spurs, two more than Manchester City and three more than Aston Villa.

They make the assumption that Liverpool will be back in the Europa League next season, which is a little dangerous when Everton are coming up on them like a freight train (and with one game in hand, for the record).

Jamie Carragher Doesn’t Want to be the New Sami Hyypia

Jamie Carragher is prepared to walk away from Liverpool at the end of the season when his contract expires.

“The club will give me a new contract if they want to,” he told the Sunday Times. “If not, it doesn’t matter, I’ll still play my best and if I have to move then I’ll move, no problem. It wouldn’t bother me.”

I wonder if he has the cautionary tale of Sami Hyypia in the back of his mind. Liverpool received offers for Hyypia in the August 2008 transfer window but turned them down cold. On September 8th, Hyypia found out that he was left out of the 25-man Champions League squad, which pretty much wrecked his last season with the Reds.
