A different kind of challenge - a team which is deliberately trying to injure the creative players of their opponents - and we've still come through it. I hope Blackburn go on a very long run without a win, get relegated, and go back to where their kind of vicious football belongs - Division 1 or below.
You know that episode in Friends where her Mum uses the phrase “pull a Monica” Phoebe says “change it’s meaning. “Oh you did so well, you pulled a Monica”
That was a tough game. Blackburn very physical - ran the fine line of edge of a red card or second yellow. Had to stop being physical in the 4th quarter of the game. City created the best chances, had the ball in the net twice (Ben Godfrey both times) before the best move of the game saw Onel assist Pukki for the winner.
Three starts in a row and he's stepped right in. I have to admit I had doubts about him playing at CB. It's great he's doing so well.
Incredible stuff by Ben and I was always impressed by him when he played for the Under 23s, the season before last.
