BLACKBURN ROVERS MATCH THREAD

[The Original Special One]

micah is finally looking a player again.

Mancini has made him more disciplined
And Spanish Gaz, too

Barry making too many wrong choices, though
He's not a playmaker
The sooner Ireland is back the better!

[mr_nool]

If Benjani could just hold the ball up we might get somewhere

Not the biggest problem in my opinion.
Biggest problem is the pace, or rather lack of it.
Second problem is that allour 4 attacking players are attacking in one straight line, i.e. no on goes to meet the ball, whereas someone else goes deep. This leads to very few passing alternatives.
Third problem. Barry and de Jong are too deep when we're going forward, which means that there's no one there to win the ball if/when we lose possession around the penalty area.

Did Robinho actually crack a smile on the sideline??

[Mike J]

poor game this.

tailor made for robinho to create a spark at some point.

[Somerset Blue]

That Blackburn kit is gopping.

[The Original Special One]

As the actress said to the bishop

There's just no penetration...

any side coached by Big Sam will know how to defend
And Nelsen and Samba are a long established CB partnerships
(and one of the EPL's best)

That was the Micah that we all wanted to see. Top drawer run that was:o)

So that's Benjani involved with both Goals so far? Confidence boost for Richards, too.
