Looking a bit jittery now. Just calm it down lads.

I forgot Gary Cahill was Franz Beckenbauer

Yeah, fairly desperate stuff there. We're getting done in midfield hence him pushing up.

This Diame lad looks good

They're stretching us at will and look dangerous every time they break while our buildup is laboured. This 442 is not working.

need to get a grip of Rodellega, he must have had 3 or 4 decent chances

Wigan flopping around the pitch like a bunch of fairies...

Trotski · Post by **Trotski** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:49 pm

They're definately the better team now. Rodallega looks the danger man. A calming presence in the middle of the park would be pretty fantastisc, Holden and Muamba are loosing the ball way too easily now.

The yellows are also concerning, I would't be surprised if we ended up a man down.

When's he bringing Lee on?

Horza · Post by **Horza** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:51 pm

We need Petrov out there too, our width is nonexistant.

Verbal · Post by **Verbal** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:53 pm

After a opening where we looked very comfortable, Wigan have taken the game to us. Some needless fouls in the middle and gifting them possession at times. Petrov and Lee anonymous. Wouldn't be surprised if Cahill gets subbed off with a nosebleed atm.

Still, it's 0-0 and we've got a whole half to punish their profligacy. Keeping the faith.

I hear ya brother..

Although, having width is only any good if you can get hold of the ball.

Lee looks poor so far, giving the ball away a lot.

Room for improvement definitely.

I saw him give it away once? maybe unless ur counting crosses and through passes that are intercepted. He won back a few as well and created some half decent chances. About average I'd say, certainly not poor. Same goes for pretty much all the players except Stein who really needs to mark better on crosses.

Relatively even. We started off better, but didn't make the most of our possession, and Wigan nearly punished us during the latter stages. The wingers are quite poor at the minute, and seem to give the ball away a lot - there were some good touches from our forwards, and Elmander in particular looks dangerous. Cahill needs to remember not to go walkabouts, it's like watching The Monk from Mean Machine. Mavies on for the second half, for Lee, push Holden wide right. Taylor on for Petrov, although I'm not sure how much difference it'd make. We need to start taking advantage when we go up the pitch, and put Kirkland under some pressure.

TANGODANCER · Post by **TANGODANCER** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:58 pm

Jussi on top form and needs to be. We're still allowing players to run right at us and backing off. Ref's giving free kicks for fairy challenges and Wigan haveturned into a team of jessies. Neither of the yellows deserved more than a free kick and Davies got baltantly dragged off the bal and got nothing. What else is new? Need Petrovand Lee to start running at them. Petrov had a couple of wild shots but not been affective; too prone to passing it backwards to marked players. They're dangerous when they do get forward but we need to stop letting them do that. This is still winnable if we get near rtheir goals.

Horza · Post by **Horza** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:59 pm

We don't have any width so lets take off a winger and push a centre mid wide right...

Nah.

Right now I'd take Young Fabrice off for Mavies and Taylor for Petrov.

SonsOfThunder · Post by **SonsOfThunder** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:00 pm

11 fouls and 2 yellow cards in the 1st half. We're seriously getting nothing from Webb, though. Apparently only our players ever foul.

Horza · Post by **Horza** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:02 pm

Classic Webb. Feels he should have done something for Muamba's tackle on McCarthy so now he's going after us wether the offences merit it or not.

Steinsson tees up Rodallega for a cracking shot. Switch the feck on.
