Match Report 111221 at Wigan Athletic: Affected

0:0 and the result is a bit disappointing.  We have many chances, even had a penalty saved, and failed to breakthrough.  Surely the players are affected by the news of the Suarez suspension, but the team formation was a bit strange with no defensive midfielder and as a result we lost the midfield easily.  It is another 2 point loss, and we need to work harder and harder now or top 4 will be out of our reach.

Players Rating:
Reina: 7.5 Made a few important saves to keep the clean sheet.
Johnson: 7 Have a great run and almost scored.
Skrtel: 7 Solid defending.
Agger: 7 Good on both ends of the pitch.
Enrique: 7 Solid defending.
Downing: 6 Started well but faded quickly
Adam: 6 Had a poorly taken penalty saved.
Henderson: .6.5 Nice passing but failed to sparkle the team.
Maxi: 6.5 Solid but unimpressive performance.
Kuyt: 7 A good performance.

Suarez: 7 A bit quiet.

Substitutions:
Bellamy: 6.5 Fight hard for the team.
Shelvey: 6.5 Another solid performance.
Carroll: 6.5 Needs more game time.

King Kenny: 6.5 Need to improve the form of the strikers.

Wigan Athletic: 7 A good tactic with 3 at the back.

Man of the Match: Reina.  Captain lead with example.
