FA Cup - Blackburn post match thread

[ifiwasarichfan]

Firstly well played to Blackburn who put up more of a fight than Norwich, West Ham, Spurs and United ( until we declared with 25 minutes still to go !).

Decent and solid performances from everyone I thought, although perhaps Nastasic was a little ring rusty.

Difficult to pick a man of the match from Navas or Milner.

As for Dzeko; he got stick from the commentary team on TV but if you don't buy a ticket you can't win the raffle. The shot that went way over the bar was worth a punt as nothing else was on and it was his movement and wonderful ball out wide that set Navas off for the first goal, he laid the goal on for Kun and two more sublime finishes.

Strange question I know but was just curious as to why the game kicked off at 20:10?

Never seen that ko time before.

Great performance in terrible weather. So impressed with our desire to entertain the crowd by going for more goals. A lot of teams would've settled for 2-0. We were utterly ruthless and that's the sign of champions. One worry I have is Clichys defending, there was two occasions he lost his man and we nearly paid for it. Now seeing why he's lost his place. Still a good player mind you but his concentration had been poor at times.

Also think Panti deserves a mention for the near post save late on. Though it was over by then, it was a VERY good stop.

two strikers system working really well at home for us. I was sceptical before not anymore. Dzeko with a good assist and two goals. Negredo bang on for goals at the etihad, important goals too. Aguero never looked like he was away.

Only worry is if Richards would ever stay healthy. Garcia is ok for a two man midfield but better in three. Pants was assured although never really troubled. I like his quick releases though. Navas devastating on the right. Let's keep him there. I was hoping Milner scored that free kick. Great professional for the club.

Glad he didn't score as I had £10 on 5-0 at 10-1

Only one problem, which strikers start against Cardiff?

Easy Sergio and the beast

and I am a massive Edin fan but the fact is the other two are our most clinical strikers

then bring Edin on for sergio on the hour mark
this gives Sergio a good run out and Edin chance to grab one or two as cardiff tire
