Blackburn Rovers pre-season match thread

[January47]

Wonder if Benko is being lined up in a swap deal with a Celtic player....Ajer or Odsonne.

 

Unless he's otherwise injured would surely be on the bench at least

Tavares injured?

Wasn't in any of the training pictures this week, is he away with Portugal Under 21's?

Yes, played in the 4-0 win over Cyprus last night I believe.

Result of the incredibly thick international scheduling.

 

Perez should be starting given hes not played much and is likely to play next week.

I'd be surprised if he starts next week. 

 

No sign of Iheanacho either?

I can see a Puel out poll on here if this goes tits-up. 

[Ian Nacho]

So weird how Rodgers rated Benko at Celtic but not here.

And so it’s better to put him even closer to our goal area? 

Generally speaking midfielders are better on the ball than defenders are they not?

That'd be fvcking stupid.

 

We've got players out on international duty, players injured. What other squad were we meant to put out?

 

It's a fvcking friendly!

Plus we’ve lent the opposition our keeper

As well as the whereabouts of Tavares, could someone please confirm if Benkovic is on duty with Croatia?

Is the LCFC host the love child of Vardy and Huth?

Really stupid as he is longer head coach here

[jeffschlupp]

Iheanacho is in the squad, they've updated the subs list

[Ric Flair]

Tavares wasn't playing last night for Portugal U21's, it was another Tavares who plays for Benfica. Must be injured, Rodgers has raved about him recently.

Standoff between StanSP and Sly anyone?

 

Edit: Clarified above. Shame!

The new training wear sponsor looks too much like the Topps Tiles logo and I'm getting 'Nam style flashbacks to those days.

I miss Sky talking about the 16:30 game.
