Liverpool 4 - 0 Blackburn - Post match celebration

[Ross]

I'm still really pleased about this result!

[BigRed1978]

Fernando Torres, words escape me as to just how good he really is. His 1st goal was just a truly world class finish and the way he ghosted in to score his second, the Blackburn defence may as well have just not been there. He's the best striker, nay, the best PLAYER on the face of the earth right now. Sod Messi, Kaka etc etc, I'll take 'Nando over any of them anyday and if he's not World Footballer Of The Year this year then it'll just be a farce.

Daniel Agger's finish was just fantastic considering it was his first goal for 2 years and a great performance all round. Give this guy a new contract NOW, he's a great player and losing him will be a big blow.

N'gog's goal was the icing on the cake really, hard to tell from the footage but was that header going in anyways before he poached it?

[crouchinho]

No, Lucas' header was going just wide by a yard probably.

I'm still really pleased about this result!

Still? Its like sooooo 1 hour ago.

[Ross]

No, Lucas' header was going just wide by a yard probably.

Still? Its like sooooo 1 hour ago.

!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT

[james08kop]

Agger goal was like the 1 he scored past west ham am I right ?

[Eem]

Yep. 31 Yards, 60 MPH.

[Shabs]

3 of those from agger against chelsea would do the trick.

[dunlop liddell shankly]

That Blackburn side has to be the worst I've seen appear at Anfield this season. They were sh*te and allowed us to play.

But you still have to play your own game and we did. Controlled the game from start to finish. We were far too wasteful from out wide but in the middle of the park we were faultless.

[robbyr]

^^^Torres x2, Agger and Ngog!

The Torres and Agger goal were brilliant!

Thanks motd beckons

[aw1]

Great performance again, Torres looks sharp again, Agger great strike. Looking forward to Tuesday now.

[David Wright]

Great way to bounce back today beating Blackburn 4 0 after that mid week disaster against Chelsea

[David Wright]

Perhaps there is some hope for Liverpool at Chelsea after all!

[redsonfire]

Kuyt and Riera were the draw backs for me. You'd hope that these two players would have flourished given the space allowed from Blackburn. But the final ball or decision from them in the second half was below standard. Come on lads, you can do better!!

That's the only disappointing thing for me though.

Let's face it. That was a really really poor Blackburn today. And maybe it was just too easy for us in the second half which made it a bit dour and us not having a shot on target until late on. Maybe there was just too many easy decisions for us to make.

But give me a choice between a game like that where we absolutely boss it and bang four goals in or a game where we can't create anything and don't get near the goal. I know which one I'd pick.

This was a huge game for us today and the attitude from the players after the midweek defeat was second to non.

I'm absolutely over the moon we won and got those vital three points! We know it's what we've got to keep on doing so long may it continue.

Absolutely summed it up for me as well. I would have taken a 2-0 before the game and it couldn't just get any better could it.

[corballyred]

Where are Mascherano and Alonso JD they were easily our best players today, didn't think Benyoun was good today for the amount of time and space he did nothing, his touch and passing was poor today. Insua is a player with a bright future for us.

[mattmcg]

Well that was a stroll in the park today, more like a training session if I'm honest.  Masch proved today that he was what we missed from the Chelsea game, and he could have scored a couple as well.  A question though, why is Insua not in the Champion's League squad?  He was awesome yet again and much more comfortable at left back than Aurelio or Dossena.

Great goals from Torres and Agger, and good to see an assist from Lucas.  A very comfortable win and a confidence booster for Tuesday night, as was seeing Chelsea concede 3 in 8 minutes to Bolton

[adammac]

Good showing from the guys today, shown a lot that they can leave the poor result behind them and look ahead to what they have to face. Great football in the first half while in the second half I say we took the foot off the gas and ease our way to the win. I guess it is a tactic to try and preserve our energy for the game mid-week and hey we didn't have to call on Gerrard which is another positive to take from the result.

[eraser]

If Bolton could have scored 3 goals so we also can. 

[Gui F.J.V]

'Torres - back finding the net again. 1 midweek, 2 today, 3 next game? '    for sure my friend !

[Darkone]

Insua played really well!he put some really killer crosses.its way better than Rieras cross.only 19.could become a world class LB one day.hope to see him at Bridge.

[lizzieroz]

Well in lads, sound performance.  Only saw the last half hour - such a frustrating morning!  We were going to look at a car, autotrader said matey was 54 miles from us, so we got up early-ish to be there and back before kick off.  Got in the car, fired up the old TomTom, and it said 92 miles to your destination!

I think it might be 54 miles as the crow flies, but I don't have a helicopter!  So broke all the speed limits coming back!!

Anyway, double result, got a very nice 'new' car, and a thumping win for the boys!!!

[Dadorious]

I agree Kenny it was a poor Blackburn side but lets not forget they are also big and physical side capable of an upset. We absoulutely hammered them and I think it should have been at least 7-0. Danny Agger f**k I missed that lad and seeing him carry that ball with such valour and confidence was a refreshing site. On the other hand I thought Albert had a really good first half and was bullied by the Rovers defence, he was much deeper in the oppositions half and looked more dangerous because Insua had a blinder of a game and allowed him the space to do so.

Well in boys!

If I was Chelsea I would be affraid, very affraid because we are going through!

[7-King Kenny-7]

Great response from the defeat!

[crzy_jkr@u]

Didnt get to see the match, but the resounding claim is that we played well. Thats good to know, I like the fact Benayoun's worth is finally being realized. Watch the goals in the goals thread. Absolute brilliance from Nando and D'agger. Good to see Ngog getting in as well, will add a booster to his confidence.

All in all 4-0 is becoming a familiar score line with Liverpool, seems as if we missed a lot though. Anyone reckon another 4 against Chelsea? Thats retorical in a sense, as its only Chelsea....

[NandoTheLegend]

Didn't see the game but 3 pts are sweet. So ManU will have some more pressure, that's all what our boys can & should do worry about. I say: Don't bring Gerrard, Torres & Co. on the second leg vs. Chelsea...we need all f**king energy and manpower in the league now. DROP CL, Rafa!

Are u mad??

[Melissa W]

Lucas is an absolute joke, how
can anybody mention him
and LFC in the same sentence
JUSTICE FOR THE 96

[red trooper]

Fantastic result !! would have happily settled for a 1-0 but 4-0 ..amazing ..do not let agger leave !! he is vital to our future.looking forward to seing the goals again .nando's finishing brill  !! and as for agger ...( big fan of his ) glad Rafa put that team out ,that sould send shivers down every prem team now ..well done the lads !! ynwa

Clearly didn't see the impact he made after coming on today then did you?

[Paul 08]

It was an emotional day on and off the pitch and the players managed to pull off the perfect result to remember the hillsborough disaster. And a special thank you to Stephen Warnock and Blackburn rovers for their Hillsborough tribute. JFT96 YNWA

I'm not Lucas' biggest fan but I do remember an assist by him for our fourth goal.  After all, an assist in about 5 minutes playing time is not bad....is it?

I can think of better games to criticise him in but this wasn't one of them.  And to call him a joke is a joke in itself as he's more successful than anybody on this forum playing for the greatest team in the world.

[thedagger]

Nice match. I think, Agger is better then Skrtel and I hope that Dany will play v Chelsea. He´s my favourite player and today´s goal, it´s fantastic.
We´ll able to score more than 3 goals, but if lucas plays v chelsea, it will be very hard. I think, for example Jay Spearing is better then Brazilian "wonder" but Jay don´t play.
It´s only Rafa´s resolution and I can´t understand this.
