Wigan Athletic vs City Post match Discussion Thread

We don't seem to cut teams up at all, not worrying anyone else?

it worries me sometimes because we don't shoot. but as we saw last night, you take a shot and you may well score. i know its a lot to take in, but believe me there is some truth to this!

Just what is up with Halsey? No doubt in his mind about the pen Zab got done on v. Fulham. Wrong on two counts - not in the area, and not a trip, push or whatever. Barry in the area last night, near had a rib removed - WTF was Halsey looking at? Checkin' he'd recorded Coronation Street, or what?

Do you think we are playing more like we did 2010/11 season where we were very hard to break down but also didn't create much going forward?

You're right, we only created 17 goal attempts away from home, its disgraceful.

He missed a penalty many refs could have given their way too, and before the 'that wasn't a penalty' posts appear, they have been given before.

Do you mean the Gomez one?
That wasn't a penalty.

Great following last night.

I wish Wigan would shove that fucking drum up there arse! I hope we never have that at the Etihad..A fucking drum.

Anyway..Great result although 1st half performance was poor. We seem to need a half time rollocking to get going at the moment.

Pleased for Mario that he scored but he has to do more for the team.
Man of the match for me was Nastasic-He is one cool customer and is going to be absolutely awesome for years to come.

Anyone elses toes defrosted yet!

If the ref had some sort of agenda, he could have easily have given that. He didn't though and if I was a Wigan fan, I would have called him a **** for not giving it.

Stam was clever, he had hold of Gareth's shirt on the other side to the linesman and the refs view. From front on it didn't look like a foul, when it clearly was. Video ref would have cleared that up in ten seconds.

Ya Ya is becoming a bit of a liability and IMHO needs to be dropped for a couple of games to have a rest.

Zabaleta is a star, along with Nastasic but with Barry the quiet and reliable source at all times. Our first goal was because he had a go, why can't we do that more often? OK it might not happen every time but there is always the chance of a rebound and a chance of a fantastic strike like Milner's for the second goal. We appear to be relying on walking the ball in but other teams are gettin 9 men behind the ball because they have sussed us out. (Just my humbler opinion)

I've just about thawed out now!! I take it we didn't do a lot of singing last night because people were too cold? Even the steward near me said he had never known us so quiet on our visits!! *ducks behind the barriers*
