[ruralblue]

Bugger, ah well. Jono's goal made up for the following let down.

[Manx Blue]

FFS Carlos

[shawzy]

tevez has been brill but he should had a hatrick by now

[CITYSTEVEDON]

WHY ARE WE NOT PUSHING UP, WE REALLY NEED TO GET MORE INTO THE FORWARD MIDFIELD

[ayrshireblue]

What an absolute beast Yaya is. How can you stop him when he's running like that?

[shawzy]

Toure is fuckin brilliant.

[DoomMerchant]

Toure is fuckin brilliant.

he's so big and strong. You can just sense defenders wanting to get the fuck out of his way when he's running at full steam. Fun to watch.

[DoomMerchant]

1-0 flatters them, but they are working hard too and creating some chances. The match is wide open and fun to watch. Hope we can hold on for all 3 and break their backs early in the 2nd half.

cheers

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Good half, should be more than 1-0 though

Spot on Mick..Hes a fuckin animal and his pace is unreal for a guy his size.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Toure's surges are fantastic and great to watch but he really does have to contribute more consistently in the game.

[Kladze]

fuck knows how this game is only 1-0 ........ even taking Tevez's penalty miss into account

We must have played about 60% of the game around the edge of their box

[Manx Blue]

With Blackpool looking to maintain their attacking Philosophy, we should be looking to steam right into them from the offin the second half, and try to capitalise on the space they will present us by going forward

He seems to do that against perceived weaker teams such as Blackpool and WHU etc, but didn't do it against Newcastle (I think). I Guess its how the opposition are set up, and how much space then becomes available

seems to me we are a little slow mentally.. perhaps they think they can cruise it. Would expect Bob to have a go at them at HT and we come out a bit brighter. Also i cant see Pool staying this tight for the whole 45.

Tight? they are giving us loads of room...it's wide fuclin open.

cheers

[CITYSTEVEDON]

we need to get at them a lot quicker, stop pissing around in our own half, must push forward quicker and goals will come

[Esky]

Tevez's link up play has really impressed me. Otherwise, been a very open game. Hopefully we put it to bed early in the second half.

They are getting a lot of players behind the ball.. which makes it tight in the area. If it was wide open we would be cutting through them easier as they tried to come out of their half.

They will try in the second half and then it will open up.
