Blackburn kick off.

Feel very nervous now!

Come on you REDMEN!!!!!!

It's kicking off in here and it's kicking off on the pitch, or more accurately Blackburn are in search of 5 Premiership wins in a row for the first time since the season they won the title at Anfield.

Away fans in fantastic voice as is often the case at Blackburn as we get loads of tickets.

Blackburn attack and it looks very compact from our team, two banks of four barely 10 yards apart.

Babel looks to have started on right, Yossi on left, kinda 4-4-1-1.

good early possesion. make them chase shadows

[Jayesh87]

Looks like 4-4-1-1

With gerrard playing og Kuyt.

[Red_Al_77]

Massive away support. Its louder than Anfield...lol

[bigfooty]

Blackburn start well, pressing us back.

[bigfooty]

First bit of possession for us. Popping it about crisply but Blackburn are well organised and we have to go back to Pepe after about 15 passes. His long clearance goes out for a throw.

[Red_Al_77]

"Fields of Anfield Road" so loud.

[paulcooper4]

sami looking strong early on

[paulcooper4]

[Jayesh87]

sami looking strong early on

Strong as an Ox

[Red_Al_77]

We need to provide support for Kuyt when SG drifts wide

[bigfooty]

Gerrard trys to take it forward but eventually 3 Blackburn players descend on him to break it up. Good pressure from us regains the ball. Sami hoofs it to nobody and all the way out for a gk.

[paulcooper4]

great through ball from sami
