Lovely finish from Pedersen! Rubbish from Kompany to give the ball away there. |

Pedersen with another goal... he seems to be back on some decent form. If we'd have played Kalinic and Hoillet from the start it'd be a very close match as we've only really been able to take the game to them since they came on. And City haven't done too much other than Tevez's two chances (one of which was the goal). |

Hoillet is really causing problems. He really needs to be playing more minutes. He's one of the few attacking players Blackburn have that has something different about them. Footyfan and El for management!

Our two youngest players, Olsson and Hoillet, have been causing more trouble this last quarter of an hour (both through our academy. And incidentally, neither of which is English). Kalinic has been okay but the ball hasn't been played much through him to be fair. |

Robinho goal disallowed - Nice move again but Robinho is very sloppy getting ahead of the ball and back line when Tevez hits it across goal to him. |

Fantastic save from Robinson there. City look brilliant going forward, although we've limited their chances in the second half. They've looked a little bit frail defensively at times since we've taken the game to them though, and I think that for a better team than Rovers they could be there for the taking defensively. |

De Jong is a cheating little cupcake. Did you see that? Emerton jumped normally and De Jong went down claiming a full on elbow into the face to get him sent off - just as he did to one of our players earlier too.

Whenever the ball gets played across City's box they seem to really panic. Other than from Pedersen's sheite corners. A better team would exploit this a lot better I guess, but City have been strong in midfield and have limited our ability to get the ball there. |

I thought it was Richards earlier from N'Zonzi <<EDIT - that was in response to Footyfan's De Jong comment>> Tevez gets his hattrick...... 4-1 Excellent finish again. He is on a major hot streak right now ![]() Fergie Fergie sign him up

4-1. City really don't deserve that - first half they were good but we've really picked up second half. 3-1 was bad but possibly fair, 4-1 is a bit flattering. |

well we do play counter-attack, so that we score when you are pushing ain't THAT surprising |

Big gulf in class there. Not very surprising really. Allardyce needs to get Hoillet playing more definitely and they badly need to try and find a natural goalscorer form somewhere. Tevez was supreme
