ChrisMcQuillan Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 All I have to say in hindsight on this game, is that I have no real shame in being beaten by a team playing superb football. If we'd lost 4-nil to a hoofball squad, then I'd have a problem. Wigan played out of their skins, and they deserved it. We weren't up for it enough. The important thing is that we learn. Well done, Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I didn't think the pressure affected us particularly. Wigan's pace and movement was simply better than ours. There's been plenty of games this season where that's been the case, and on this occasion we got punished. Williamson was beaten by Moses because as the ball came over, Moses just shoved him a yard away so that Williamson wasn't in the right position to make his height tell at the crucial moment. You could say that Williamson was weak, but Moses is as strong as an ox. I noticed later on that even Tiote was bouncing off him. Does Krul have a back problem? One or two posters have suggested that. I thought he was a bit slow in getting down for the 2nd and 3rd goals. Santon looked far more comfortable playing on the right, during the 20 minutes that he was allowed to. Pardew really should give him an extended try there. krul could have been at his best, wouldn't have mattered as we were battered http://www.georgiataylor.co.uk/tvburp31102009avi.jpg hahaha unintentional bad rhyme i'm sorry.

littlelunchbox Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Lets be honest here, what happened? did the players simply did not turn up as they thought wigan would not be too tough of an opposition, we underestimated them in that respect. Or, a whole fortnight of the media has been talking us up about how well we've done, great transfers, even mumblings of Pardew for England, we are heading for champions league etc, daily mail full page spreads of our facilities, Ashley's new windfall of money. Just positive waves that our club has not ever had since the Entertainer's days. The players got took in by all the hype? or did we realise how close we actually were to achieving champions league status, that they simply choked at Wigan?

Beren Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I like/have nothing against Wigan for 36 games a season pretty much. The two games we play them a season, we never seem to put in a performance even when we win. Especially Tiote now I think about it. From a selfish perspective, I hope they do go down so we don't have to play them anymore. Last season's drubbing at Bolton aside, I'd much rather keep the Trotters. We have a more favourable rapport with them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of both tbh, iam hoping that considering no one will expect us to beat Chelsea at the bridge a bit of hype and pressure will go down and we can take advantage and play with no fear and no pressure.

Mick Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 It would have been interesting if we'd scored because quite a few in the home ends didn't celebrate the Wigan goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just walked through the door. Sure they had 4 shots first half and scored 4, their fans are gimps and a don't know why we tried to go 5-3-2. Still an amazing season, as most of the fans could acknowledge today.

juniatmoko Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I think it because we are too good on attack lately our defense line up become complacent. In their head was "dont worry worry cisse will score... dont worry benny will do his magic" really fook them up so bad. We seem didn't challenge all their goals properly.

Tachikoma Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Did anyone else notice that once Krul started to pass the ball out to a defender instead of booting it, we also started to play a lot better? Granted they were already 4-0 up by that point and didn't need to press as hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 When the whole team is playing well the weak links aren't exposed. When things aren't going our way and we're under the cosh however good professionals they are Simpson and Williamson aren't good enough individually. A solid right back and Saylor/new centre half and I'd say the likelyhood of these capitulations will ease. Most of the team were at fault yesterday but the weak links are fairly obvious.

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I was very drunk at the time, but I remember turning to Gupter and telling him there was no was diSanto would score because he was an abomination of a striker, he then got his wonder goal.
