Perhaps there is a reason why Roberto plays a right footer on the left and a left footer on the right. If we swap them over and crosses rain in, then who is going to get on the end of them ? – Heskey has gone remember. I rate Hugo but I don’t see him as Wigan’s answer to Kevin Davies, his undoubted skill comes to the fore when the ball is on the floor.
If we play Koumas and N’Zogbia on the “wrong wings” so to speak then they are a goal threat when they cut inside. If we only play “one up” then we need more goal threats and this is the way to do it. These three are then supplemented by Gomez and Diame
This is a different way of playing – some people can’t seem to get 4-4-2 and a big target man out of their heads. We are set up to play with the ball on the floor.
