Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\nSir Alex Ferguson’s side were crowned Premier League champions for the record 19th time following the tie at Ewood Park, leaving Blackburn still battling for survival.<\/p>\n
Kean empathised with his frustrated fans but promises beating the drop will outweigh any immediate negativity.<\/p>\n
“I could understand the fans wanting us to go and get the ball,” the Blackburn boss told the club’s official website.<\/p>\n
“But if we do, and Manchester United smash it up the other end, we might come out of the game with nothing.<\/p>\n
“It was slightly frustrating at the end that we couldn’t actually get the ball, because they were just keeping it.<\/p>\n
“They left four players high up the pitch, and tried to play a little bit of possession to run the clock down.<\/p>\n
“We were a little bit disappointed at the end, because we’d managed to go and get our noses in front and I thought that the way we stuck to our guns in the first half and kept our shape was excellent.<\/p>\n
“We probably needed the second goal, and had Martin Olsson’s header gone in rather than cannoning off the crossbar then we’d probably have taken all the points.<\/p>\n
“But we got a point closer (to safety) and kept our goal difference intact, which could prove to be vital point come next weekend.”<\/p>\n
The draw leaves Blackburn on 40 points, just one above the relegation zone but Kean reveals the result against the champions was positive.<\/p>\n
“If someone had told the fans we were going to get a point against Manchester United, I am sure they would have been happy with that,” Kean said.<\/p>\n
“We can’t control what happens in other grounds. All we can do is pick up points.”
