MC RISK77 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Lovely cameo from Mehmeti so far- seems to be a player who has benefited from the change in manager 6 1 Quote Link to comment

Lack of Action Man Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 This is looking likely to be another good performance, another 3 points and probably another clean sheet. All in all, I’m pretty chuffed. Well done Liam - this is much more like it. Keep it up. Disclaimer: Blackburn are woeful. 3 Quote Link to comment
MarcusX Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I feel like had City not performed tonight, or worse lost then we’d be hearing how we’ve nothing to play for and Blackburn are fighting for survival and it’s understandable to be off the pace for a nothing game. Well, quite the opposite. We’ve pressed them high and well and forced them into mistakes. As bad as they’ve been, some of that has been our pressure. Would have been different if we’d sat off and given them time like Swansea game. I feel like I need to caveat this and own the fact I haven’t been a Manning fan, but this has been very good again and I’d happily watch this all next season if this is what he can deliver. Shame we didn’t see Mebude, don’t think we needed to bring King on to be honest. 6 Quote Link to comment

cityexile Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Hard to believe Blackburn had been on a decent run, and are fighting for their league survival. We have been good, but genuinely surprised how poor they have been. Quote Link to comment
Bas's perfect hattrick Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 5 minutes ago, Supersonic Robin said: Back turned, clearly not deliberate. Defender knew nothing about it. More that if there was any uncertainty, the referee could have easily not given it and it wouldn't have been a particularly controversial decision in the context of the game. FWIW, I can absolutely see why it was given. I'd just feel very unfortunate if I were the Blackburn defender. I always hate the penalties where it just hits someone's hand accidentally, rather than them deliberately moving their hand towards the path of the ball. As someone who also played at CB for a while, I also tend to side with the defenders in these situations Fair enough, but if he has his arm stretched out - that's a handball whether it's intentional or not Quote Link to comment

The Original OTIB Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 4 minutes ago, And Its Smith said: Superb performance tonight. Hard to single any player really. Everyone has been brilliant. Tanner and Roberts great. Williams brilliant off the ball. McCrorie much improved. Knight probably motm for me but can’t argue with any nomination Knight probably the busiest, back where he belongs. Blackburn amazingly bad, Hyam probably a career low. Hats off to us for being ruthless. 1 Quote Link to comment
ChippenhamRed Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I actually think the remaining games are quite important in some ways. This little run has given us a fresh perspective on Manning. If he can maintain this form until the end of the season, the whole club will go into next season in a more optimistic mood without the distraction of fan unrest and the question mark over Manning’s future. That can also aid summer recruitment. It will also buy him a little time if we don’t hit the ground running in August. Let’s hope we can keep this up. 5 Quote Link to comment

Midlands Robin Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 8 minutes ago, Sturny said: Easily worst side i've seen in a while at the gate. Wasn't aware of Blackburn's league position before this game. Honestly thought they were above us. I've had a quick look becuase I thought the same but as far as I can see the last time they were above us in the league was back in November. If they finish the season like they've played tonight, they could be in big trouble. Quote Link to comment
