Blackburn (FA Cup 4th Round) 9/2, Build Up & Match Thread

[Langers]

I think he can be okay at PL level but he seems to need too specific of pieces around him for making that happen consistently to be worth it, so I guess on some level I agree. I think he gets slated too much but both can be true.

Agree to disagree. I've seen more than enough of him - he's a lumbering carthorse.

Blackburn having a spell, just need to calm things down a bit

 

[Tredman]

Not sure how anyone can conclude that Bueno is a PL player after watching him get run ragged by a bunch of championship journeymen

He's fine when everything is in front of him but he's severely lacking in mobility so if there's space behind him and runners to chase he's in trouble.

Carthorse, maybe, lumbering though? He ain't big enough to count for that, he's a toothpick boy like me!

We also share a birthday, so... Yeah, I have too much in common with him, disregard my opinions.

Like I said, if Djiga's not a disaster, it's pretty clear who's lowest on the totem.

Indeed, and this is the biggest flaw when he plays with Aggie; they always seem on completely different wavelengths and it makes our line a fucking mess.

 

[The Bear]

Lesser of the two evils playing our best CB in what looks like his best position

We haven't seen him at RCB to make that judgement yet.

So if we weigh up Santi Bueno's strengths and weaknesses, we're putting 'same birthday as Alan' under strengths?

We don't need to cos we don't pick the team (thankfully, in your case).

VP clearly has

I think my point was that I subconsciously am, but that nobody in their right mind should!

And, though it goes without saying, if I have a "right mind" at all, I haven't been in it for years!

Munetsi on

 

[Mel Evo]

Playing up front by the look of it.

 

[The Bear]

Debut for Marshmallow*




*One for Alan

Fucking knocked that out of the park, mate. Marshmallow Munetsi is a banger.

 

[The Bear]

We could really do with a 3rd goal here just to kill it off completely.

Not that Blackburn are threatening anything, but any spawny goal and it's game on for them.

@MARKakaJIM

And you, friend, are now Markmallow.

No way anyone gets past Johnstone

More like Johnstone-wall amirite

They can't all be bangers I suppose...

 

[The Bear]

Good stuff from us, now pushing for that third goal.

 

[prawnking]

Please score Marshmallow!!! Fuuuuck
