We lost control of that game when he went off
Absolutely spot on.
Those of you who thought that Espinoza was “the answer” probably realise why the rest of us didn’t know what the question was.
Roger never has and never will be a holding midfielder.
Hopefully that isn’t McArthurs last game in a Wigan shirt

To be fair to Espinoza, as someone else has pointed out, he isn’t a like for like swap with McArthur – its a bit like taking a centre forward off & putting McArthur in his place. It also seemed to me that Espinoza was pushed out to the left & Maloney went more central after McArthur went off
I don’t think Espinoza did anything wrong when he came on – its just that he can’t do what McArthur can do (& vice versa) & there was a shuffle round of personnel. Combined with QPR’s change in shape it took the game away from us

Yes, like control the ball with his first touch or pass it to a teammate. Which are pretty much prerequisites for a professional footballer!
He’s got loads of energy and likes to get stuck in – but he gave the ball away far too many times last night.
Maybe now some of the people who sit near me in the West Stand will stop proclaiming him as the saviour of Wigan Athletic.
But as we all know, Wiganers love a trier.

That was basically my point, and I wasn’t just talking about last night.
Don’t agree with the vice versa bit, though – I’m quite sure that McArthur can charge around like a lunatic and miscontrol and give away the ball a lot, he just chooses not to do it as often as Espinoza does ;)
