[Archived] Liverpool Away

[martmitch]

whatever happens eastwood and our defence has been premier league standard today, no surprise there as hanleys not on the pitch

[otto man]

We need to push up now. We're defending too deep and inviting pressure.

Cairney booked. Went in studs up on Balotelli. Twonk!

[USABlue]

Come in lads not one of our infamous late give aways

[AllRoverAsia]

Well done Rovers! Big night to come at Ewood. TV again!! COYB

[martmitch]

well deserved draw

[USABlue]

Hats off to everyone. BOWYER. The players and the fans. Well proud to be a Rover.

[Tom]

Fantastic result, another wedge in the bank and we'll do them at Ewood

Well done GB, the boys and the travelling hoards

[otto man]

Fantastic performance and result. Had we played like this all season we'd be playing in the Prem next year.

[Doaksie]

Pride in the shirt. That's all I ever ask.

Rovers till I die

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Well done Rovers..can't fault that effort!

[Waggy76]

Wonderful wonderful performance , proud to be a Rover again !

[DE.]

Gutsy performance, great result. Liverpool were poor, Balotelli made them worse when he came on. We had a good first half and a fantastic start to the second, but were pinned back for the last 35 minutes, our boot it up to Rudy tactic stopped working and we didn't really have anything else. Fortunately Liverpool were pedestrian and made it quite easy for us to hold them off.

We can definitely beat them at Ewood.

Why can't we show the same endeavour and desire in league games?

[SamTheShrew]

Incredibly proud of the team today. Kudos to bowyer for the set up.

Only he can explain why we have been unable to play like that all season

Season goes on for another game!

[perthblue02]

Fantastic result, back four man (men) of the match today

[tonyoz]

Brilliant! That's the best I've seen them play in many a long while. Gestede was dominating the Livrepool defence in the first half but less effective in the second. Seems like we've found a back 4 that works........Baptiste was very impressive. Well done Bowyer, that was a good tactical performance.

[rovers11]

Play our two best centre halves and you get that. Why oh why have we persisted with Hanley this season. What a performance! Incredible!

[chor808]

Superb Rovers. Why not every week! Motivation?

What a game and my 80s perspex shirt still fits...can't wait for the return.

[Gav]

Very very proud after that display.

Baptiste was tremendous, they all played extremely well and Bowyer set the side up extremely well, he out thought Rodgers today.

Very proud today and I've not said that for years.

[perthblue02]

Play our two best centre halves and you get that. Why oh why have we persisted with Hanley this season. What a performance! Incredible!

Also makes a difference having a cool older head as captain

[West Yorks Rover]

Fantastic result, back four man (men) of the match today

No pictures for me, but listened to an excellent commentary on Talksport (not the usual crew) they said the CB's were magnificent.

Well done to GB and all the lads, fans sounded in great voice too.

[Mr. E]

Brilliant effort, I am taken aback by how well did everything that needed to be done. To the point stopped the most in-form team in England. Yeah Toure hit the post, but Baptiste was so close to heading it in as well. 100% concentration from start to finish defensively, exactly what was required. Rudy was also great in the first half, but couldn't get a hold of much of anything in the 2nd. Even more impressive thing about this performance is that we used almost a very, very different strategy than what we normally play, it required great discipline and it payed off. So yes, hats off to Bowyer for getting it right here. Everything left to play for here.

[SamTheShrew]

Cbs were great, proper old school defending. Hanley deserves to be nowhere near the starting 11.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Quality that. well done rovers. Lets pack out the replay

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Will be nice to see the sold out signs up at Ewood again..seems a long time!

[tonyoz]

There was one spell of passing late on that had me rubbing my eyes in disbelief. At times we made a very much in form Liverpool team look second best. I think everyone played to their best. Who do you think was Man of the Match?
