Official Blackburn Rovers vs Manchester City Thread

[The Fat el Hombre]

Elano gave the ball away 3 times in the first 6 minutes, the other pass he had was a hospital ball to Ireland. I lost count of how many times he gave the ball away after 20 minutes or so. His good ball through to Caicedo doesn't make up for the amount of times he's losing it

First error for the goal was Ball trying to clear with his left foot instead of putting his right boot through it, then Caicedo tried to lay it off to nobody in particular instead of hold it up.

Caicedo is only young Ball has years of experience - who is more to blame?

Be nice if Elano could find a City shirt more than 1/5 passes.

Another myth, continually spouted by the ill informed.

Sorry? Take it you're not watching the game then to be that ill-informed.

I'm an Elano fan, he's been trying to switch the ball into space which i think is the right thing to do... hes not been accurate in the first half though.

I'm watching the game. I also know he has 13 successful passes from 19 attempts.

You're ill-informed too then according to Moomba. We must be seeing things!

So we're playing poorly & the opposition doesn't want to play attractive football. And we're down 1 at the half. This is where a great manager earns his pay. Let's see what we have.

 

[nick.nikky]

first 20 we had a winning game in terms of defending. damn pity we can't seem to combine the winning defensive game with the sort of calm collected offensive game... and the goal... god seems to have a habit to punish us everytime we actually do the right thing and begin working on our game and vice verca.

i like this game though. win or lose it's a step in the right direction. if we want to get to the very top we have to be able to play this sort of game and there's no other way to get it right than to try and try again.

Stop arguing about Elano, EVERYONE has been shite, everyone's wonderboy ireland and fan favourite kompany included.

Both as bad as each other as they each made a mistake.
