Wigan Athletic 1-1 Everton. 4th Feb at 15.00.

Gibson isn't doing too bad. He's trying some relatively positive passes and getting in to good shooting positions. Some poor passes though. I think he'll be decent in time.

Gibson came from a club where players were moving off the ball in anticipation of receiving a pass. Here, not so much. He's got to get used to that.

 

[Chang Elephant]

At halftime, I'd like to see a straight swap, Jelly for Cahill.

agreed

 

[TX Bill]

Landons been invisible today

To be fair, most of our attacks on left.

Halftime.

 

[bluejock]

Nae danger of being first on MOTD the night like.

 

[Matt Damon]

Can't pull up a players **** passing now?

Did Goat touch a nerve there?

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Cahill's been disappointing, would like to see Jelly on for him and go two up-front.

 

[BlueinGA]

Yeah not much has started from the right most of the possesion has come from Baines and SP, need to use that whole pitch for ffs.

 

[Abraders]

Mixed half, good chances and play along with some horrible stuff.

I think we're more solid without Distin

 

[Goat]

Can't pull up a players **** passing now?

Just highlighting how quickly the fans turn on people.

 

[Matt Damon]

Wigan's pitch cutting up quicker than beef joint in a butchers

Horrible horrible pitch.

 

[MoreCows]

meh..

 

[Baines' left foot]

Gibson came from a club where players were moving off the ball in anticipation of receiving a pass. Here, not so much. He's got to get used to that.

Yes. He's not quite on the same wavelength yet but he's trying to get the game moving.

This, not the best game for Distin to come back from injury into. SHould have been Duffy.

 

[faddy the blue]

awful conditions and awful game so far. Gibson should have tested the keeper. When was the last time we scored in the first half away from home?

 

[kenada_blue]

Play is good. Pienaar the base of everything.

No real penetration. Cahill looks injured and not adding much. Gibson donning his invisible cloak before passing into no mans land.

Other than that, just need to step it up. Pienaar centrally would work wonders. Drop Cahill, slap pienaar there, drenthe left.
