Liverpool v Blackburn match thread

Look like we are half asleep. Decent possesion but no clear cut chances. Got to get better second half. Hopefully

Okay so I was out very late last night and only just woke up. It seems all I missed was Gerrard falling over twice and an iffy team selection. Is Crouch out injured?

Nothing wrong with the team selection, and yes Crouch is injured.

I really don't like this 4-2-3-1 against solid teams, too easy to defend against if your defenders are good in the air.

That said we've started the half well.

Lucas with a drive under pressure from a corner, shot taken first-time and goes 5 yards wide.

ahhhh god damn ****ty streams

Gerrard drives a free-kick in, Friedel punches away, Lucas was offside anyway.

Benayoun coming on soon.

Gerrard

1-0

[carlton]

brilliant, absolutely brilliant

[bigfooty]

Gerrard with a bit of magic to make it 1-0. Looked like he had nowhere to go, played a 1-2 with Lucas, got the return and clean through to slot it past Friedel.

Fine goal that, nice play by both Gerrard and Lucas.

Benayoun plays the ball to Gerrard, who plays a one-two with Lucas. The ball breaks well for him and he slides it into the net.
