Wigan Athletic 0 v 2 Chelsea
Saturday 3rd November 2007
A game of the cliché two half’s, first half Chelsea strolled it while in the second half they dropped down to walking pace allowing a Latics revival to send the home fans happyish.
The high glow luminous shirts of the Pensioners swarmed all over a poor Wigan team, with just one up front, Latics looked like a side who just couldn’t be bothered with it all, especially after Paul Scharner had headed just wide early on. Mummy’s boy Frank Lampard scored from a great precision low cross from Shaun Wright-Phillips to put them ahead. Frankie must really learn to shut up & just play the game, if he wants to ref the game he needs to take a massive drop in wages and don a black shirt.
The ball looked to have gone out for a throw in but then full back Juliano Belletti went unchallenged from well in his own half and finished off with a curling strike for number two and only after 18 minutes.
No personnel changes after the break but while Chelsea took it easy with a Champions League game to look forward to Latics actually started the second forty five with a renewed vigor and out of form Dutch international Landzaat had a shot deflected wide.
Wigan were a tougher proposition for Chelsea as they adopted a more physical approach and got into the Pensioners faces and “tough guy” Michael Brown almost earned some reward but his shot from the 18 yard line was blocked by defender Alex. Didier Drogba was making his 100th league appearance for the Kings Road club but he was taken off after 75 minutes, before he got sent off for a second yellow card.
The last team Chris Hutchings picked was Wigan :
Kirkland , Melchiot, Granqvist, Bramble, Kilbane , Valencia , Brown (Skoko 85), Scharner, Landzaat (Sibierski 82), Koumas, Bent.
Subs Not Used: Pollitt, Aghahowa, Boyce.
And one of Chris Hutchings last quotes before he was shown the door"It was excellent from us in second half. We didn't have any real luck in box but obviously conceding two goals in first half was disappointing.
"One or two players slept in and did not do what we required and that cost us. "We have to keep positive."
