Wigan foolish to focus on Suarez - Reds

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has told Wigan counterpart Roberto Martinez he should be worried about a number of his players, not just Luis Suarez.

Liverpool travel to lowly Wigan on Wednesday looking for a victory that could propel them up to fifth. However, their preparations for the game have been overshadowed by an FA investigation that is looking into claims striker Suarez racially abused Manchester United's Patrice Evra during a match at Anfield on October 15.
Latics boss Martinez said not knowing whether Suarez would feature against his side has affected his planning - something which has rattled his opposite man.
"If he is identifying Luis as a danger man then fine but I don't see how it prevents him from planning," Dalglish said. "I don't think Luis is the only player that has to worry about whether he is playing or not. It has not affected us particularly."
Asked whether he had considered what it would mean if Suarez is unavailable, the Scot said: "We don't have to unless he is injured and fortunately he hasn't been injured so we don't have to consider what the team would be like.
"We will just wait and see what happens."
With or without Suarez, Liverpool are likely to pose Wigan a lot of problems and Martinez has suggested his side will be up against the best Liverpool team in years - to which Dalglish replied: "I think he's a nice man.
"We just come into work, practice what we preach and try to carry it on out on the pitch. To be fair, every single one of the lads that is in the squad has made a contribution. Their contribution will be needed over the coming weeks because the games are coming up thick and fast. That's when your squad will be tested.
"We know every single one of them is capable of playing games for us. We just need to pick the right games against the right teams. Hopefully we'll get a bit of luck and come away with the points we deserve."
