I think Cameron is getting his first start of the season at CB. Edit: Actually that's according to soccernet, who appear to have gotten several of the players wrong in this game.
Pullis has chosen to go with three in the back, I had wondered if that might happen. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/footb...12-2013/stoke-city-wigan-athletic-515719.html There is a live play by play also on this link, if someone might enjoy the match from that perspective.
First 15minutes: Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul. Walters kicks the ball into row 52. Pulis might be countering Wigan's tendency to drop into a 3-4-3. He wanted that man advantage in midfield and reckons his boys wont be bothered in the back.
That back 3 covered by the above 3 covered by the above 3 is relatively unpenetrable for Wigan. Goal on set piece. miracle of miracles. Showcross does it!
Also, Charlie Adam is really good at not looking at all like a professional athlete. He's like the Ben Roethlisberger of the EPL.
Cameron has had two stand up dispossessions in the box, where he not only wins the ball, but looks up and distributes properly. I dont know about anyone else, but I really appreciate a defender who stands up the player rather than back-peddle into nothingness. Solid defending.
Yeah Geoff is being Geoff today. Winning his battles, distributing well, staying calm. Good stuff all around.
Espinoza with a nice cross for a secondary assist. Cameron not at fault..looked like Huth and Shawcross once again. 2-2
