We have to win this one. QUOTE]

too bloody right must keep Arse and Chelski in sight until we get our full team back..
 
----------Howard------------

Gazza-OShea-Mickey-Spector

--------Kleb--DJDJ----------

--Ronaldo--Scholes--Giggs--

-----------Smith------------
 
those who wanted Kleb and Dj DJ to get a run in the team are getting their wish it seems..
 
what's happened w/ bellion and fletch - not even on the bench. (wonder if they may be part of a deal?).
 
how many defensives errors are we going to make this year??
or better yet, how many defensive errors are going to be converted into goals this year??
 
Am i the only one who thinks that silvestre is better suited at left back.
 
We're playing alright, just need to get more men in the box and stop getting in each others way. Bring on Saha, take off Kleberson, although he's been great, push Scholes into central midfield and go from there. Or swap Klebersons and Scholes positions and let Scholes boss the midfield. TBH I think I'd take a draw from this game, although we need 3 points.
 
What a joke! Our team is a shambles. We have improved as the half has progressed and had a few good moves and passes but if we can't beat these kind of teams then we will not, I repear not win the title.

I'd take off Djemba, he's not done much and his passing is all over the place.

I thought we were rubbish, agree with you on the changes though.
 
Spector has dealt with everything really well.
Kleberson's passing has been superb, but I wish Ronaldo would stop all these wild shots from distance.

Edit: And please give the armband to Gary, Giggs always plays poorly when captain.
 
Kleberson has been impressive, in comparison to Djemba who looks a bit off. Howard looks unconvincing and Giggs went AWOL in the later stages of the second half.

We've looked quite pathetic in attack, except for Kleberson's shooting and Ronaldo's technical play.

I too would like to see Saha bought on.

As long as you're not being dramatic...

You are right, we can't keep taking draws. Usually a draw at Ewood Park would have been a good result but in terms of the title race this year, the teams above us (I will not mention them as I hate them) will come to places like this and take away the three points!

GIGGS!!!! What about Giggs! What has he done? take three corners! The only time the camera is on the left of the field is when Ronaldo is on the left or Spector moves upfield

Spector made few stupid mistakes in the opening minutes

I would wish all players stopped shooting from distance although to be fair Kleberson did produce a top save from Friedel!
 
I miss the first half. some one would like to tell me how they score? i saw a kleberson shot. what a shot that was but friedel save, feck we need to score in the 2nd half. :(
 
Ronaldo has to spend more time on his feet instead of looking and pleading for a foul everytime he goes down. Even this ref is overlooking him going down now. He has great talent, use it and stop the play acting.
 
We should be beating teams like Blackburn, not going in a goal down.

Our play has improved as the half progressed, but we need another striker on the field, since our chances have been few and far between.

IMO, Djemba has been shit. Take him off, drop Scholesy back and stick Saha up-front with Smith; we've got to take something from this match.
