Decent perfomance all in all... we definately deserved the win and should maybe have had a third. Ireland unfortunately fluffed a golden opportunity with a heavy touch but the signs are encouraging. His movement and interplay was fantastic at times.
Adebayor definately gives us another dimension up front... he is so strong on the ball and creates real problems for defenders. Petrov looks back on form after a long absence and will be an excellent impact sub, together with Bellamy who scored a cracker today.
SWP was pretty good too today... he'll probably still be second favorite to Tevez but he's hell of an asset to have in reserve.
Defensively we had a few iffy moments - the goal in particular was very soft, but hopefully we'll have another centre half to pick from in the next week or so. Bridge looked pretty solid again and showed some lovely interplay going forward - for me he's been the most consistent player of our preseason and has definitely shown the quality we knew he possesd (but failed to live up to) last season.
All in all I'm expecting that we'll get the three points at Blackburn... and hopefully we'll be in good shape for the Barca friendly.
