Amos rolled the ball in his hands, scanning.
The Manchester City players, after the latest scare, weren't really pressing.
That might have opened a few gaps if one watched keenly but they refrained from that, making it hard for Amos to find a free Wigan shirt in an advanced position.
After a while, he settled on Joe Bennet who was free on the left and he threw it to him, but Gundogan had already read it, dropping back instead of pressing, cutting off the forward option before Bennet had even controlled it.
Then Bernardo came from the other side, and suddenly Bennet had nowhere to go.
He passed it back, looking for the safer option but safer wasn't always the best.
As Amos received it, he looked up and the picture had gotten worse.
The longer Wigan kept passing it back, the higher City pushed, and now their defensive line was sitting comfortably in Wigan's half like they owned it.
