Result: Liverpool 1 - 1 Blackburn

Craig Bellamy finally broke his duck in the Premier League but Liverpool couldn’t find the goals to secure the win at Anfield yesterday, the game winding up 1-1 in the end.

Liverpool had the best of the early chances, Crouch coming close on two occasions before Benni McCarthy turned the game in Blackburn’s favour picking up David Bentleys low cross in the box to fire home at the back post with ease. Blackburn also struck twice more past Pepe Reina only for the goals to be ruled offside.

The second half was a different story, Luis Garcia was introduced early on and Liverpool started to find a good bit of energy, building up eventually to Fabio Aurélio’s corner - the Brazilian flighting the ball to the back post for Craig Bellamy to meet and head into the back of the Rovers net on 63 minutes.

Liverpool have got to start striking first, too many games going by now where we find ourselves have to claw our way back into the game rather than taking the bull by the horns. At least there’s another point gone on to the boards and, but for better finishing, it really should have been all three points but we’ll wait and see what happens against United and, first, against Bordeaux.
