Weekend Review - 22 Aug 2009


Wigan vs Manchester United



"Man Utd seem to be a very normal team to me."
-Gary, 22 Aug 2009

An unexpected loss to Burnley. There was no half-chances. No attempt to break Burnley's resilient defence. Man Utd doesnt play with urgency at all despite having 67% possession.

Wigan surprised us when they won their first game against Aston Villa. The reasons for the surprises are an unknown manager of Roberto Martinez taking charge of Wigan for the first time despite been a former Wigan player and Aston Villa, who finished top half of the Premier League most of the seasons that we remembered under the guidance of Martin O'Neill. But Wigan came crushing down on earth with a home defeat to Wolves.

Man Utd seem to be a very normal team to me. No creative midfielder like Cristiano Ronaldo or set piece specialist like David Beckham or a striker who at the right place at the right time to score goals like Ruud van Nistelrooy. Does anyone know that he score goals as if he is picking durians?

Wigan Team News: Oliver Kapo is out.

Man Utd Team News: First team defence is out with both Vidic and Rio Ferdinand injured. Edwin van der Sar is still out with broken fingers. Owen Hargreaves seem to be spending more time in the treatment room than on the field.

Odds and Analysis: By right, Man Utd's first 3 games cannot be touched as they are still finding their rhythm. It was a wrong choice to go with Man Utd to clear the handicap against Burnley. As for Wigan, the handicap is 1. No matter how much Man Utd give this time round, i wont punt for this match.
