A lesson in passing opposition off the park and winning…!..and against one of the prems most articulate teams.As far as I’m concerned It’s 3 pts we need to get tomorrow as those around us seem to pull out results against the top 6 sides whilst we give in too easily..
goodpost Couldnt agree more .I would like to continue being Wigan Athletic , but in the Prem please!
Good debate .I think we do outplay teams who let us pass the air out the ball then comfortably break us down in last 3rd.As a forward unit we dont make teams work enough in and around final 35 yards and our attacks constantly fizzle out.How many times do we see Moses run diagonally across the pitch beating 3 or more men only for him to be pushed until he is dispossessed .Never enough options going forward and as has been stated regularly in the football media our tempo is too pedestrian.4 months to go so up the tempo,get bodies in the box and for christ’s sake no more sunderland’s!!!
Maradona for me…..Inspired a sleeping napoli and led them to 2 Italian league titles,Italian cup and Eufa cup.Then in 86 led an average Argentina squad to world cup success.At the moment he just edges it for me as Messi is playing in a team loaded with talent and possibly the best club side ive seen.Pele as expected has to be up there, but he played nearly all his career in Brazil and his national team was crammed with football folklore names..
goodpost I couldnt agree more,Sammon puts a shift in but i.m.o he falls short of Prem standard.We will only create a small no of real goalscoring opportunities and we need an AJ style finisher to convert 1.I appreciate how difficult they are to come by but his attempts so far dont inspire confidence that he will ever address this.
Robbie contributed to Bosselli’s downfall by him being left up top on his own.First game Blackpool home surely not ideal debut game knowing how fired up pool would be.The fact he only just missed out on Argy world cup squad behind the likes of Higuain,Messi,Tevez means he must be better than what we saw.He wasnt the biggest unit so lone roll surely not his forte,certainly not in the prem.I think he systematically had his confidence crushed ,shame……..
Just have to see if anything develops…..cant see our transfer activity exciting us.Even championship players look at our predicament and swerve us.It took the club 3 prem seasons to build a profile where decent players were now giving us a second look but that has been eroded away by the perpetual relegation struggle and hammerings.Now its mediocre foreign players and sub standard home ones that seem willing to join us.Seems an eternity ago that we came close to signing the likes of AJ followed by Heskey .In our present state doesnt look like those days will return unless Bill Gates has a mental collapse and tips his legacy into the pot!!!
