I wouldnt say it was a bad corner...he played an inswinger into the near post where it went into the sunlight
Dang and I thought Landon was the only one having problems with the physicality of this match. Piennar just got stripped pretty badly.
Wigan really go for the desperate defending. Twice now in the last few minutes, with Pienaar and Donovan - they;ve had the ball running towards the end line, and each time a Wigan player leaves his feet to dispossess - Bocanegra style.
This match is start-stop-start-stop. The moments of brilliance have to come in little split seconds. Donovan's had moments of danger but hasn't been able to get the link-up going. It's a choppy match. Best play of the 2nd half thus far I think was Pienaar winning that free kick, but nothing came of it.
He got plowed into. What do you want him to do? When a defender goes in like that it's either a foul or a loose ball.
Looks like bainas and LD are connecting well. Just took a fantastic tackle to keep LD from taking the ball dangerously into the box
It's all well and good until a WC star gets sidelined from a clumsy lunge. I hate defending like this
Cahill, who earlier got elbowed in the face, barely touches someone, and gets called for a foul. WTF. EDIT And apparently Saha isn't allowed to go up for a header. That's considered a foul now
I wouldn't object to Bily coming on for Pienaar. He's made several poor passes on the break, and with the way this match is moving, getting one on a counter-attack may be their only way to score. EDIT: Pienaar overthinks it and again gives the ball away during a bit of Everton possession. This is the worst he has looked in quite some time.
