This defeat proves Wigan do need to strenthen in January.

Despite conceding 9, our defence isn't usually too bad, but Edman was atracious and doesn't look Premier League quality at the moment.

We need to add some firepower up front without a doubt. Personally and realistically I would go for Raul Tamudo. He's a proven goalscorer and is unsettled at Espanyol.

A fella i work with's lad plays for latics reserves, callum mcmanaman they should give him a chance. Decent striker, cant be any worse than what was playing for latics yesterday!

In truth, if Wigan Athletic's first team played their reserves, they'd probably win 9-1 too.

There's no need to come out. I think Ricketts is within his rights to head back to the keeper towards goal from 30 yards out, without fear of him already being halfway down the pitch

The keeper must have shouted but clearly not loud enough.

Now I've watched it again on MotD2 I agree with you. The keeper has run into a ridiculous position becauause he thought he wouldn't make the header.

It was, as I said earlier on this thread, definitely Jussi's fault. He has no need to be outside of the penalty box it's just nonsense. For the record and I've seen him plenty of times over the past 10 years, he's a great shot-stopper but unfortunately not the best communicator.

Don't talk daft. 5 yards out of the penlty area, with no striker around, is defender territory. No question about it. There was no reason for the keeper to around 20 yards off his line.

Indeed.

A goal every 3 games and now well past his best. He's garbage as he showed at the weekend.

I genuinely felt sorry for the Wigan fans. Getting hammered is horrid.

Credit to the Wigan fans though, as my missus said that pretty much all of them stayed to the bitter end.

Tbh, I don't think Wigan are that bad a side, think it was just one of them games where everything clicked for Spurs coupled with some bad defending which Martinez will want to eradicate.

Thierry Henry to sign for Liverpool in the January transfer window.

Benitez thinks he'd fit in perfectly because of the way he managed to play the victim after being caught blatantly cheating.
