The defeat at Anfield did little to dampen the mood around Wigan.
By Monday morning, attention had already shifted to the FA Cup.
Manchester City were coming to the DW Stadium, and the prospect of another meeting between the two sides had given the supporters plenty to talk about.
Their previous encounter had ended in a loss for Wigan, granted they hadn't had two of their most vital players in Leo and Carlo, but it was different today.
Now, with a place in the quarter-finals at stake, Wigan would have their chance to respond.
Around the town, the conversation had moved from Liverpool's tactical approach to whether Dawson could find a way to beat Pep Guardiola again.
The supporters had their opinions, their predictions, and their favourite moments from the previous final.
Some were confident.
Others knew better than to underestimate a team like Manchester City with Pep Guardiola at the helm.
