Disappointing game of 2 halves, thought Blackburn could have been at least 2 up at half-time, Rangers were better in the second half with Phillips and Austin missing gilt edged chances.
I am sure people will bang on about formations and how 4-4-2 does not work,to me it is more about how players adapt to the job they are given, today Hoillet was given at least 6 opportunities to attack the full back on the outside, on all bar 1 he instead turned inside and got caught in possesion, on the other time the defender panicked, fouled Hoillet and was booked, to a lesser extent Phillips is the same, the wingers job is to get to the by line and whip the ball in.
In general today we gave the ball away cheaply, Barton was of pace today and had a poor game, as did many others, defence generally sound especially second half.
MOTM for me was Hill who lead the defence superbly.
Special mention to Blackburns Scott Danns for being a cheating horrible dirty bar steward.
