Interesting to see that Treacy is on the bench.

I would gess that is the way we will line up but Isuppose it is possible that we are either:

--------------Freidal

Emerton---Nelsen--Samba---Warnock

-------------------Ooijer

Bentley----Dunn-----------Pedersen

------------Benni----Cruz

Or:

--------------Freidal

Ooijer---Nelsen--Samba---Warnock

-------------------Emerton

Bentley----Dunn-----------Pedersen

------------Benni----Cruz

will need a massive performance from dunny in the centre if we are to get anything from today

now I am worried. Emerton and Bentley have been less than impressive playing in those positions.

According to Radio Rovers, Bentley is on the right and Emerton will be holding in midfield. Should be interesting.

According to Radio Rovers, Bentley is on the right and Emerton will be holding in midfield. Should be interesting.

According to the tv-picture they both seem to operate on the right flank In goal kick situations Bentley seems to be situated on the flank and Brett in the middle.

[Flopsy]

too much confidence in the air at the moment, crowd sounds great though

[James No. 7]

Bentley hit the post in a one-on-one situation. Definitely the best chance of the match. Just before the 35 minute mark.

[James No. 7]

Dunn hit the woodwork on 45 minutes. Another chance that we might be really ruing later on.

[Exiled_Rover]

Dunn's injured.

[artemorethanlabore]

Great shoot, liverpool not doing much. Ewood sounds amazing.

[Rovers in America]

I thought Dunn's chance was in when he hit it. Oh so close.

[yellowsubmarine]

Dunn's injured.

Yah, seems like he got injured while attempting the shot that rocked the crossbar.

Pray he will be okay. We are losing centre midfielders at an alarming rate!

[Mr. E]

My head is still in my hands from Dunny's bar. How that that not go in?? In 1-2 chances games like this we need goals like that.

We've been solid, but its a real stalemate so far.

if he's injured though I don't know what the heck we're gonna do. Tugay has to save the situation.

[rover6]

Is Emerton actually playing CM?

ENcouraged to see Treacy on the bench - who knows he could get on to have a meaningful opportunity.

Cant blame. He tried his best. Tough luck.

*continue praying he will be fit for 2nd half.

He's playing more the right wing and Bentley more in the middle. But him and Bents exchange a decent amount as well.

[James No. 7]

Is Emerton actually playing CM?

I can't even really tell. I think Emerton and Bentley are swapping around. Whatever... it's been working so far.

[budha]

Is Emerton actually playing CM?

Yes, and playing pretty well actually. Tends to run to the right and that crowds the flank with Bentley there too, but I guess that's to be expected from a right full-back/winger.

[James No. 7]

Tugay on, Dunn off. 56 minutes.

[James No. 7]

We got away with that one. Kuyt should have hammered it. 61 minutes.

[James No. 7]

We're missing chances left, right, and centre.

[James No. 7]

That should have been a penalty. Carragher put his arms up and Ooijer's shot hit his arm. The commentators are trying to say he put his arms up to balance. Rubbish.
