Blackburn (a) match thread

[red g]

people are already turning this into a "bash rafa" fest. ****ing tedious ****s.

I am fully behind Rafa, but dont tell me you are loving watching this ? cant see to much rafa bashing.....more frustration with havin to watch a stalemate of a game

[Red Chilli]

It can be entertaining with the right type of players in the front 4

What? Messi, Ronaldino, Aguero and Torres?

[bigfooty]

We have had a grand total of 0 goal attempts in this first half according to Setanta.

[Jayesh87]

We haven't even had a shot LMAO!

[Red_Al_77]

lol no goal attempts in 40mins. What a load of bollocks

[red g]

Rafas plan is to bore them to death in 45 mins and then all out attack second half

[blacky]

What? Messi, Ronaldino, Aguero and Torres?

If only? but four players that have pace, ability and guile will do!!

Bentley with a snapshot, Pepe saves comfortably.

[Biff]

This game is depressing me.

Too many average players.....and I don't mean Blackburn

[red g]

good effort by babel, great ATTACKING play

[blacky]

lol no goal attempts in 40mins. What a load of bollocks

No matter how organised blackburn are that is a shocking statistic...

[bigfooty]

Babel with our first effort, a counter-attack sees Gerrard find him and he cuts inside, putting a defender on his arse. Trys the powerful curled effort but a good save from Friedel denys him and puts the ball to safety. Signs of life from the red men.

[Red Chilli]

I'm not bashing Rafa, I just don't like 2 defensive midfielders. It's inherently negative.

It may however be effective especially away from home which explains our record.

It's not easy on the eye at all, let's just hope it works, but we'll never see entertaining football with 6 at the back in my opinion.

[Red_Al_77]

You know what though...I bet we are great at Chess.

[Jayesh87]

Ohh fireworks have started outside
