Didn't see much, streams were very poor and foreign, but what I did see was Raph and Klich looking class and Rodrigo out of position again... Needs to play striker

Not reading too much into the result, there will be a bit of rust and was that also Blackburn's first friendly?

You should have bought the 4 games package Faaip, still available for the individual games. Livenow stream was excellent.

It was Blackburn's fourth friendly apparently.

Only a matter of time!

we so need that creative spark in midfield, this is the major area that needs to be addressed before this window closes.

In cm it rarely looks right to me, balance is off.
I don't second that, I mean he was good all along the season imho

Welcome Harkee, I do think Rodrigo looked more suited to striker but his season got interrupted a few times when he played the 10 role so difficult to judge

The man himself says he is not an out and out striker, pretty obvious MB agrees with him... :) ...will keep saying it (imo) he is perfect playing behind Bamford, there is some chemistry there.

Welcome to the forum :)

Underwhelming i thought for a record signing, helped by good form at the end of the season whilst playing in a more familiar role. I dont blame him for that however.
