Spark needed from somewhere

The early goals in the previous matches paved the way for easy wins but we need to do it the hard way today as Blackburn have taken the lead through a penalty committed by Berba and have consequently parked the bus outside their penalty area. And with no proper midfielders, creativity to open up their defence is evidently lacking. Nani is having one of his frustrating matches when he makes even the simplest tasks look difficult. We are having to rely on Rafael in midfield as SAF is evidently afraid to play him at the back and move Carrick into midfield. Chichi continues to disappoint as he is struggling for form and Welbeck needs to play as striker to be effective.

Is it going to be one of those matches where we drop points due to not having any solution to turn the result around? On SAF's 70th birthday, we should find the determination to crawl back and get 3 points but we need to go out for the second half with all guns blazing and get an early goal. If we are still down with 20 minutes to go, I can see us struggling. SAF needs to shuffle thing around and the players need to send quality crosses in - something clearly missing in the first half.

We need to keep the faith...GO ON REDS....BELIEVE!!!
