Yorkie Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Good half that. They'll get a rollocking though, still a few little errors in defense - just silly little things like getting caught in possession - namely Butt and Rozehnal, and Shay's kicking has been frighteningly bad. We've got a good balnace though and we're moving for each other. Martins and Smith are working well, and i'm quite pleased with Geremi's assistance in the final third aswell. He needs to release the ball quicker, though. It's a bit difficult to tell how we're playing; it looks like 4-4-2 when we're on the ball and 4-5-1 when we don't have it (Geremi pushing out to the right to assist Carr). We're doing well though. Promising. Great chance for Smith, absolutely sublime little pass by Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Oh and, what an absolute peach of a ball that was by Barton through to Martins. Oba's looking alright, can't seem to decide what to do when he has the ball, but he's had some good little touches. This is promising. Really need to keep it tight after half-time.

Wullie Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Think we've played pretty well first half. Nothing special, and we've obviously had a couple of blips defensively, but not too bad, miles better than the last few weeks have been. Our end product is not good though, too often when we get into the box, we don't have one player who really looks deadly. Smith (overhead kick) and Butt (long ranger) both had lots of time and space to get it right, to score or open Blackburn up respectively and both rushed it. I know Smith was offside but he didn't know that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 All these calls for Emre befuddle me. Emre will only come on play some long balls out of play, fall over and roll around like he has ruptured his achilles, kick a couple of corner kicks onto the head of the first Blackburn player, committ as many fouls as he can and then ultimately run out of steam after 10 mins. Forget about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfmag Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Shay Given cocked up a second time then. James would you please f*** off. I'm just stating facts. Given made two bad mistakes when we were passing the ball around that could have cost us. You're clearly not at the game, not watching or have some sort of prejudice against Given. He hasn't put a foot wrong today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Yeah, we don't need Emre just yet. Keep Butt on - a shouting at should sort him out. We need his defensive assistance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Harry-Norway Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Get Emre in,he is a creative midfielder,and he will have more space in this game then for a long time.

Well aye, ditto Butt, but I'd rather score than take a chance on winning goal of the month. Thought Smith had time to take a touch and finish it quite easily, flag allowing obviously.
