[Archived] Everton V Blackburn Preview

[Amo]

Congrats to Lars on his new addition.

Here's hoping Salgado is sharp enough to deputize.

[Blueboy Downunder]

does anybody have any details of live commentary? other than that of radio rovers. or if somebody would be kind enough to allow me to use their radio rovers log-in..that would be great. i am in the mountains in northern peru....some help would be very nice.

Salgado is so sharp, the air bleeds when he stands in a light breeze.

[Guest Wen Y Hu]

I'll be happy if we can keep a clean sheet today. A draw will be a decent result, but I fancy us to score a couple. 2-0 Rovers, please. Dunny from the edge of the area and Salgado with a snorter of a 40-yard cushioned header.

got a good pic on that country that invaded kuwait tv

[American]

I'd have played

Chimbonda Nelsen Samba Givet,

Thought at first you were saying you'd have played had your wife given birth the night before!!

Try Radio Merseyside mate

Saha always scores against us.

[G Somerset Rover]

**** sake.

"Awful defending" is how Sky Sports described it.

[Mr. E]

to individual that posted that "special" reply to my post: Honestly, take a look at what you're doing and consider wheather you may need some counseling. Otherwise it is a bit sad and rather disturbing that you spend your time searching through 4 years of post history.

Anyway, we hit the top post and a second later Saha scores. As you were.

[Hughesy]

Poor defending by Salgado for the goal

[RibbleValleyRover]

Just seen a replay, shocking defending.

[Hughesy]

Very good save by Robbo from Pienaar - who was offside, but not given

[Stoic]

Sounds like Salgado's having a shocker. Why not start Emerton at right back?

[John]

He let an Everton player too easily past him in the first few minutes, and not 100% sure if he was directly at fault for the goal, but Salgado has looked very poor defensively so far.

[Fife Rover]

Sounds like Salgado's having a shocker. Why not start Emerton at right back?

Or better still get Salgado off, move Chimbo to RB, Givet to LB, and bring Nelson on.

[Iceman]

Seems Salgado is having an Ooijer type 1st match.

[texasrover]

Or better still get Salgado off, move Chimbo to RB, Givet to LB, and bring Nelson on.

I agree. Salgado is getting torn apart.

[modes98]

Very poor defending from the free kick. We are playing pretty well other than that, had a couple of good chances.

Who ever had the bright idea of sticking Stephen Reid on Radio Rovers deserves shooting. He hasn't actually described any of the game so far. Just about what players are like in training, etc.

[yellowsubmarine]

Salgado looked like a lost sheep out there. Our midfield was just non-existent.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

looking at the rovers.co.uk blog it looks like Everton V Dunn - is Roberts playin????

[John]

This is awful now, need to get Salgado off I think, real shocker - too slow, but we knew that already....

We are not forward in their half that often, but look quite dangerous when we are! Set pieces causing a bit of panic

[BRFC1995]

wish barry horne would shut his biased mouth.

half time salgado off surely...v.poor, need chimbondas pace to nullify pienaar.

[booth]

looking at the rovers.co.uk blog it looks like Everton V Dunn - is Roberts playin????

According to SkySports...

Everton: Howard, Heitinga, Yobo, Distin, Baines, Osman, Rodwell, Cahill, Pienaar, Fellaini, Saha. Subs: Nash, Hibbert, Jo, Gosling, Yakubu, Agard, Wallace.

Blackburn: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Givet, Chimbonda, Andrews, Grella, Diouf, Dunn, Pedersen, Roberts. Subs: Brown, Nelsen, Emerton, McCarthy, Nzonzi, Kalinic, Hoilett

Referee: Lee Mason (Lancashire)

[RibbleValleyRover]

Has Roberts done anything yet? Seems with Roberts you need him at 100% and being a real menace otherwise he offers nothing.

Like Fife, John and others have said i'd take Salgado off, he's getting ripped to shreds. Move Chimbonda to right back, Givet to left back and bring the admiral on.
