Weekend Review - 31 Oct 09


Manchester United vs Blackburn Rovers



"Dont expect goal glut in Old Trafford."
-Gary, 31 Oct 09


Another win to progress to the next round of Carling Cup competition. It was a stroll in the park from the statistics shown on the left. However, Man Utd doesnt seem to have the hunger of going forward and creating chances.

The coming match against Blackburn could be for the wrong reasons. Swine flu.

Blackburn currently have Sam Allardyce and 2 players suspected to be down with the virus. Sam Allardyce, out of precaution, stay out of the League Cup win against Peterborough.

Sam Allardyce is a very English type of football tactician where he love to use long ball methods to create confusion to the opponents. He achieved it when he was in Bolton. However, when he tried using it when he was in his ill-fated stint in Newcastle, fans disapproved of his tactics as they prefer attacking football. Currently in Blackburn, the results have been mixed due to a winless away record in this season. They are conceding goals like water leaking from a tap, especially against Arsenal and Chelsea. Dont expect goal glut in Old Trafford.

Man Utd Team News: Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Park Ji-sung and Owen Hargreaves are out. Gary Neville is suspended.

Blackburn Team News: Christopher Samba, Pascal Chimbonda and Vincenzo Grella are out.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 2 balls. Man Utd will win this match but no point punting this match as Man Utd might just clear the handicap.
