First of all, we have 10 players out in one of the most physical places to play in the league. Still think he should have gone 4-4-2. those 10 players include Heskey and NRC who relish this type of game....Couple that with some signings well be alright lads.
Anyway shit performance!
Friedel - 6 -Did great all game but the first goal was diabloical
Young - 6 - Full of running and played much higher up 2nd half
Warnock - 5 - Struggling a bit lately
Clark - 6 - Didnt do a lot wrong
Dunne - 6 - Made one fantastic block, looks kanckered all the time!
Young - 7 - Worked hard, made a couple of wrong decisions, but always wanted the ball and unlucky with the header off the bar
Hogg - 6 - Nothing too good or too bad from the lad today
Ireland - 6 - There is a player in him lads, a big time player, bit of a fairy though
Bannan - 7 - MOTM, classy player, always keeps possession, real gem in the making is Barry Zidane
Downing - 6 - Started strong, finished not so much
Gabby - 5 - No serivce, out of shape, playing against 4 defenders, bad day at the office. looks short of confidence as well.
Subs:
Pires - 6 -Still got it, will be used in this role a lot, feed him the ball and he will use it well
Delf - 6 - Got inbehind Blackburn twice more than Gabby did
Herd - N/A - Not on long enough, although did get himself on the end of a corner well
