Hey Guy, I am quite sure you guy saw the match, I watch it from the TV and nearly used my head to bang on the Tv. I felt we played well. Dominated by possesion. The lousy penalty decision cost us a lot. And we should had a penalty but was not given. I think the refree hate us quite a lot eh?
This is the first match I saw so far this season. My feeling is that we really need to improve quite a loh. The striker is like headless chicken. They really had no impact at all. If I didn't remember wrongly, we only had one shot on target from the both striker. I thought MH will make changes (at the striker department) after we are down 1-0. Jeffers or even kuqi may make some impact. McCarthy playing too selfishly. 3 play around him and still did not want to pass, try to sqeeze his way through the player, either he is a genius or idoit. At yesterday match, I think he is the latter.
Don't know whether you guy agree with me a not, there is totally no flair in midfield. Perderson can't cross accruate, no threat, bentley either run and lost a ball, cross the ball to the fan, if not pass wrongly. At least Reid and savage do a good job. snatch ball and cover defender quite well. But still we need some flair in attack. I miss tugay now.
The plus point is our defend, Look solid for the whole match, Emerton is very impressive, wonder why we had him for 3 year and only realised that he is a very good defender, overlapping confidently, shield and cover the ball well. The central defend look solid too. Only serious mistake we make which lead to a goal from Drogba. I hope when Ooijer settle down and nelson come back, we will be much better side in defend.
That is about this match. We seriously don't play as well as last season but there is still 35 more match for us to improved. Another thing I wanted to sound out is Gallagher is getting better, he make quite a big impact when he is out there, hope to see him play more when time to come....
Go Blackburn Go, make us dream again this season!
