That was poor by Blackett. Played it to Mata (or herrera) in a very dangerous position.

Well done Ashley.First decent spell from Swansea.Gylfi has a great technique for shooting.Yeah, defensively we're shaky.The Steve Gerrard, Gerrard chant is in full flow.
Not much has changed from last season par the formation sadly...We really do love that ball out to the right.Rooney didn't quite catch thatLingard looks a bit clueless defensively.Did somebody spit in Ashley Young's mouth?!
It was always going to be a problem, new system with some of the pieces missing.Gerrard chantsMata's slipping a lot!Blackett doing well so farReally miss Welbeck here...
Good pressing but we need to be a bit quicker in the final third.Let's get Herrera and Mata more into the game.Blackett, one of the worst players in the Championship last season, is bossing the Premier League so far. Looks our most assured defender.
It's ten minutes into the season, relaxMonk looks like he's wearing his school uniformThis system needs a better ball-player next to Rooney to get the interchanging and the final third triangles going. Can't see Chicharito playing much once RvP and Welbeck return.Mata needs to get himself involved. Too much focus on the flanks so far.Lingard has been poor. Hopefully early nerves.15 min
Sigurdsson free-kick fired into the box, good clearance by Blackett.Beast header by BlackettBlackett looks excellent so far to be fair to him.Blackett bossing it
He won't play much once they are back.
Yep. Number 10 is key in this formation. We need him and Rooney to really get involved plenty.Blackett is beasssttttmy stream is poxy keeps pausing
Strong head out from Blackett.Blackett being vocal, I like that.The first fifteen minutes have flown by.Notice how Blackett plays the ball out of defence instead of aimlessly hoofing it, it is so great to see.It's Lingard or Nani so I think we give Lingard more time!If we sign two quality CBs before the window shuts we should be alright, but it's dangerous using this system with the defensive options we have. Not good enough.Blackett arguably our best player on the pitch right now.- Status
