By their own standards, and by the expectations of their supporters, Liverpool were poor at Ewood Park today. And as Rovers failed to convert good chances in the last few minutes, I think we have to chalk that one off as points dropped.

Sam Allardyce can prepare for his minor heart operation in good cheer. Allardyce was prevented from returning to his old Bolton stamping ground because of an impending angioplasty, but in his absence Blackburn Rovers did him proud, deservedly winning this Lancashire derby with a first-half goal from the irrepressible David Dunn and one of the most comical own goals of the season after half-time by...

It didn’t take a degree in political science from Stanford University to work out what Sam Allardyce was going to do at half-time with his side a goal down, but Ryan Nelsen has such a thing and was able to take full advantage by setting up the equalizer and then scoring one himself as Blackburn ran out easy winners with three second-half goals.
