Liverpool v Blackburn match thread

[darkstar]

gerrard against seven blackburn defenders

[bigfooty]

We've woken up now, a good move down the left involving Aurelio sees us win a corner which is headed out well.

[bigfooty]

Torres with space to turn but Samba tackles well, Blackburn go down the other end and Pedersen blasts high and wide.

[bigfooty]

Blackburn not out of this yet, some crisp passing from them at times and we're still yet to fully settle. Crouch being missed I feel, Nando seems to lose every ball driven to him from deep.

[bigfooty]

Benni McCarthy and David Dunn coming on for Blackburn.

Skrtel and Roberts clash, Roberts appeals for a free-kick but he just fell over.

[bigfooty]

Skrtel catches Roberts this time who would have been away. Blackburn want a sending off but it's just a booking.

[bigfooty]

Free-kick is cleared twice and eventually knocked out for a goal-kick.

[spud_gun]

Skertal got lucky there.

Should have been a red. No question.

not out of it by a long shot, some slack defending and giving the ball a way a bit too much at the moment.

[bigfooty]

Roberts ain't happy.

Dunn's first contribution is to hack down Arbeloa for a free-kick.

Roberts, Santa Cruz and McCarthy all on. Blackburn going for it.

Our free-kick eventually comes to Xabi who hits it over from 20 yards.

Stop whining Roberts you bitch.

[bigfooty]

Yossi with a nice bit of play to bring us forward, Torres then has it on the left, cross in but Kuyt has to foul to reach it.

[bigfooty]

Kuyt with an awful touch on a great Xabi driven pass, Blackburn immediately break forward but Yossi tackles well and we counter, Yossi then runs into traffic and wins a corner.

[bigfooty]

Gerrard's corner dips into the box, hacked clear in the 6 yard box, Lucas drives a shot in, cleared again and we foul.

Gerrard dives in and gives Blackburn a free-kick central, 30 yards out.

[Robster007]

Wiley's a bitch too.
