So, Having Seen the Team with no NdJ...

I was thinking about that during the game, and I still can't make my mind up. I believe for the Blackburn game we missed someone like Silva more.
 
No, don't think so. I would've preffered Barry to start in place of Vieira though. For me Vieira looked really slow and had to foul to stop people darting past him.

Coaching role for Vieira please Bobby...starting ASAP.

(For anyone who gives it the old "OMG VIEIRA SCORED U RAG!", note how much better we were in winning and distributing the ball once Barry came on)
 
The Defence looked Shakey With Out Him , + the ammount of loose balls he gathers and tackles he makes is immence . I rather see him in the team than yaya toure Tbh
 
I was a little surprised at Mancini's selection - maybe he is trying to ensure all players play a fair share of games to keep them well rested. Trouble is, we need results now.

But I suppose our draw was down to us in every sense - not NDJ missing or Vieria starting or Silva not starting - we giften them the goal and we missed xx chances.

I think against teams like Blackburn, especially at home where their tactics are going to be obvious - waste time and go in hard - it's for Mancini to decide whether more firepower or more muscle is called for. On the weekend's evidence, it's the former.
 
No.

....but we did miss Barry who has been one of our most improved players this season.

As has been noted above: we passed the ball better and retained possession better once GB came on.
He still seems to have lost a bit of pace compared to his Villa days... but he definitely looks a little sharper this season compared to last.
