Howard - 8 Saved the match for us in the dying minutes. We are lucky to have him given the sorry state of goal keeping in the prem.
Baines 5.5 Decent penalty take but think a good keeper could have stopped it. Didn't notice him doing much else though.
Distin 7?? - not sure how to rate his performance. He made a great tackle in the 2nd half but in all honesty Wigan's attack was so infrequent that he could have been replaced by a cardboard cutout. Seems like he'll be a steadier presence than Lescott in the back but it also seems like he won't be the goal scoring threat that Lescott is either.
Yobo 8 - He had a very good game. Almost every time Wigan crossed the center line he stopped their attack.
Neville 6.5 - Though passing was poor but his tackling was excellent
Rodwell 7 - would be an 8-9 if his shots were a bit more accurate. He bossed the middle though.
Osman 2 - gets a 2 b/c at least he tries hard.
Peanut 7 - created, wish his crosses were more accurate though.
Cahill 5 - should have scored, was more effective than in previous matches though. Teams seem to be able to key on him more on free kicks now that Lescott is gone though.
Saha 7 - please please don't get injured.
Fellani 7 - changed the match. When Cahill and Fellani play I'm convinced it must be in 4-4-2 with Cahill the striker. In a 4-5-1 a CB just covers Fellani and he's ineffective. With him sitting behind 2 strikers though he causes all kind of havoc in the defense. Holding mids just dont have the size to contain him.
Billy - incomplete.
