agree
fat sam stated it was westham that played below thier level today not that wigan played well
complete t@sserI was just going to post that:
“It wasn’t about Wigan today, it was about us not using the ability we’ve got. We can’t keep giving the ball back to them.”
It never is us playing well, is it?
Top quality player. Skilful, strong, clever, fast, has the lot.
I’m dying to see Boselli given a go but I’m not sure who’d give way for it to happen. He’ll get a game on Tuesday though, I suppose.
I was hoping Di Santo was going to make way for Boselli around the 60 minute mark after he wasted 3 chances on the trot and seemed to be running out of ideas. Then he went for that overhead!
Never mind though, he will surely get his chance on Tuesday – and Christmas onwards I think maybe Martinez will use the strength in depth shown with the cup 11’s so far
And was injured, He is one of the main links to this squad. His work rate is as good as any i have seen any in a Latics shirt.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m immensely impressed with how Di Santo has been the back end of last season through to now – he’s definitely our most improved player (Cauldwell is up there too). From being a nippy forward that ran about for 90 minutes like a whippet getting a few chances and deflections to being a genuine threat with excellent positioning and finishing, I actually think it’s fantastic that after a few spurned chances we have someone on the bench I’m hoping gets a chance.
It might not be the best starting 11 we’ve ever had (on paper, but on our day we can match the best of them), but the overall squad is pretty impressive – and long may our cup run win the fringe players continue.
Bring on the FA cup!
Didn’t fancy us today but I thought we were superb. Totally dominated the game from start to finish. Allardyce can whine all he wants about an apparent push for the first goal (I didn’t see one) and it all being about them but deep down I think he’ll know they were outclassed.
Interesting how differently people see the same game. Even the media aren’t sure. BBC have us down as having 17 shots to their 15, whilst Sky have us at 15 each.

Would never have said they had 15 shots.
Tuesday’s game is League CupI know it is, but I was presumptuous in thinking that the fringe players would continue their excellent cup run and get through to the quarter finals and beyond. Then at the turn of the year, they will continue to do us proud in the FA cup, and contribute more in the first team when the first eleven can’t start every week due to fatigue/injuries etc
I’m probably getting ahead of myself like, and it’s not always easy to communicate exactly what you mean when typing instead of speaking!

I usually look up a couple of different write-ups when we win (less so when we lose), and the daily mail have mainly gone on about how bad West Ham were. The Independant however, have written an excellent article about our attractive attacking brand of football, so check that out if you get the chance
the sun said ” wigan are one of th best drilled and smartest of the prems little men ” and got a decent write up saying we outclassed west ham which is a nice change for them. thought the whole team played well yesterday and should have won with more, still dont feel comfortable even at two up though. watched villa and norwich, thought both teams were very poor.
