Match Thread: Blackburn Rovers vs Manchester City

[Cheesy]

From OptaJoe on Twitter: "In the opening 45 mins, Manchester City (143) completed over four times as many passes as Blackburn (35) in the opposition half.

Be patient & we'll win this

I feel like Blackburn will cheat to get a point tonight, diving, moaning at reff, barging our players off ball...

I get the feeling already it will be Chris Samba. He's come close a few times and looks like he's playing in a WC final.

Barry off===> SWP in ??

SWP---Yaya---NDJ---AJ

------Silva--Balo---- ?

we're playing ok, but our ball movement is quite slow. their defence is not exactly tha fastets one, so if we pass the ball quickly, we can definetely expose their limited speed and movement. yaya or barry off if things haven't changed in the first 15 minutes. cases could be made for both swp, milner and dzeko depending on how mancini wants to approach our lack of chances...

we're in control but I fear every ball in the air into our area. Just feels like one of those games that we boss and they nick!

Soon I would replace Barry with Milner, Barry started bright but has been way too conservative since picking up the booking.

This is better entertainment than the match!
