Official Blackburn Rovers vs Manchester City Thread

[Wooderbeen]

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

Mate, you need to step away from the stats for just one minute and look at his performance through the eyes of a spectator rather than a computer. His passing has been very ordinary. I've said it before and I'll say it again, stats do not tell a complete story. For example, he's played a couple of hospital balls that may have been touched by our players before theirs but were still awful passes... do you class that as a 'completed pass'?

Nope, the stats tell the whole story, elano is having a blinder...

Who said he is having a blinder?

Ball is one of the worst full backs ive ever seen. Seriously.

 

[PistonBlue]

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?

Ball gives it away at every opportunity, its what he does.

No-one seems to have mentioned Dunne gettinng turned by Roberts yet? Good bit of skill from Robert, but Dunney just didn't see it.

We can still win this.

Its bad saying this but looking at our results we just can't. We have to score early to win or else its a scrappy 1-0 or 2-0

Thought the first 20mins were ok but then we just seemed to peter out. Hart's distribution has been shocking and likewise Ball's, Zabs is pretty shite an all when i come to think of it, even though i do rate him highly.

Only half-time though, onwards and upwards...

Ball is one of the worst full backs ive ever seen. Seriously.

He is worse than Thatcher was.

 

[Kevcod]

Hughes, what's he on?

So, friday, we're devastating with Ireland down the right, together with SWP, Robster on the left.
So what does he do today? SWP through the middle/ on the right/ on the left, Ireland tucked right in, bumping into SWP, Robbie on the right?
PLLLEEEEAASSSEEEE make those Muriniho stories true, this pratt is not a good enough coach to try the stuff he does.
Ned doing well though, should have had a pen, no doubt.
