I keep on watching the first Wigan goal and it is beyond belief for a professional football team!
I really, really cannot believe just how easy Villa make it for Wigan to have a shot on goal, the defensive coach (i.e. Terry?) should be sacked.
Anyway my thoughts:
Taylor loses his man for the cross which allows a free header that Kalinac saves brilliantly.
The ball goes out to the wing and Taylor chases it and gets skinned like a kipper (meh)!
At this point Taylor has given up so the Wigan player has all the time to look up and see what to do.
No problem, as we have 7 (including goalkeeper) (yes 7, excluding Taylor by now) players back defending and Wigan have only 3 attackers to receive the ball!!!!!
Well the bloody problem is that NOT one defender (exclude goalkeeper) is marking any Wigan attacker, wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Wigan player had 3 players to pass too, not 1 but 3!!!!!
As a defender this was the very first thing you learnt, a absolute basic requirement that you mark your attacker!
This is worse than Sunday league stuff.
I have watched this first goal so many times now and it just gets worse but if I can see this why can't anybody at Villa Park coaching team see it?
