There are further problems at Liverpool and more for the manager Rafael Benitez after the catastrophic loss to Wigan in last night’s Premiership clash at the DW Stadium. And the Spaniard is less than happy about his players’ performance.

On whether the loss was a fair result, he said "I think so. I think we didn't play well, especially in the first half. We didn't show attitude. That is very clear, especially in the first half. We're not happy. We have to show more character if we want to be in top four.” While fellow Spaniard Roberto Martinez, the Wigan boos said "I think we had everything you can expect from a good performance. This is one of the days to be very, very proud of Wigan. Today the players showed great composure, great understanding. If anything we looked dangerous on the break and with the right decision could have got the second goal. We need to carry on this standard till the end of the season. You saw a group of players who want to play the right way, want to win in the right manner.  They have all the attributes needed in a very good football side. I'm just delighted for the players.''
