[glen quagmire]

First 10 mins we were rocking... seemed to have let Blackburn back into the game though. Extremely poor towards half-time.

Barry off and Milner on please.

the first 20min were really nice to watch,
later blackburn had a few chances,
but i think the performance is ok so far.

Other than us letting them back into the game a bit, I'm happy enough with that half. Everything seems to be bouncing Blackburns way inside their own box.

Played well never really looked like scoring tho on many occasions no killer instinct

Half-Time marks
Hart 6 Nothing to do really
Zaba 8 Commited wherever he plays
kompany 7 usual display (lucky with pen appeal)
Lescott 6 ok
Kolorov 6 ok
Barry 5 Poor passing stupid fouls
Silva 7 needs the ball more
Yaya 6 as above
DeJong 6 passing him by ?
Johnson 5 shown nothing
Ballo 6 needs the ball to feet not in the air

The match is so open, the pitch looks huge. Not worried (yet), Silva and Yaya needs to get the ball more often. Not sure what Johnson is doing, always seems to be out of play, hopefully he'll find better positions 2nd half.

Blackburns midfield aren't posing any big threat offensively, think we could do with taking off Barry for either Milner or SWP (putting Silva in the middle).

AJ flipped to the left. This should give Kolarov some support.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

terrific first 20, then we just slowed right down. should be a couple up, hopefully this half will put it in the net, if we score early this half we'll tan em, but its City so will make it hard work i suspect. Barry off, Dzeko on i hope.

It just feels like that we cannot break these teams. We couldn't break Birmingham at home...shit.

We must win this to get the clear lead before the City-Spurs game.

 

[Rammyblues]

This is a battle, always was going to be they are a tough nut to crack at Ewood, we will just have to be patient.
