I thought we gave the back four of Man City a hell of a lot to think about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think at this stage of the season with the way results are going, every single point is difficult to get, if we perform like that I\u2019m sure we pick up some points.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/3b4e10aebeacon.dll_64.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read the original:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/04\/25\/2458154\/dzeko-goal-is-offside-blackburn-boss-steve-kean-bemoans\" title=\"Dzeko \u2018goal is offside\u2019 \u2013 Blackburn boss Steve Kean bemoans Manchester City winner\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dzeko \u2018goal is offside\u2019 \u2013 Blackburn boss Steve Kean bemoans Manchester City winner<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Alex Fisher at Ewood Park 25 Apr 2011 23:05:00 Steve Kean (Getty Images) Related Links Teams Players Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean has blamed the match officials for his side&#8217;s 1-0 home defeat against Manchester City , which has extended their winless run to 10 matches.
