Andrews is playing. FFS. Allardyce you winker

On the plus side, Di Santo and Dunn will cause some problems
Andrews is a good player but not alongside N'Zonzi, and for me N'Zonzi has to be the first choice by a long stretch. He should be on the bench; Hoillet should be on the right wing and Emerton should be in centre midfield. Or even better, put Dunn on the wing/in centre midfield and then Kalinic upfront, taking Andrews out and keeping Emerton in.

And Dutch... I am just too fast for you as regards putting both teams up :cheeky:
At least I showed their positions :p

Haha yes it does - we have Dunn in the team so we're likely to try to play a little bit of football today. Half the reason our midfield is so inefficient without Dunn in the team is that we have no inventiveness and constantly bypass midfield...

Mancini's way of saying that Blackburn are just a long ball team:

Interviewer: "What do you think of Blackburn's style of play?"

Mancini: "They are.....er....very very tall *grin*"

How very polite :thumb:

Anyway.........come on Blackburn!!

:rofl: I really, really hope he's told his team what a long ball team we are today as we have been for the past month. Dunn's back now so we're likely to play in a different way to what they'll expect. I hope we do well but I think we'll lose or at best, draw.

Yeah you'll be a tough team to get anything out of, especially at home, and our away record is very poor. Hopefully we'll do ourselves proud, and the fact that Mancini seems to think we're a longball team can only work in our favour - he's been in the game a relatively short while and may not fully realise quite how differently we play with Dunn in the side.
