I think Liverpool are gonna continue to struggle. I'm not sure how far Torres is away from full fitness but it's a big loss for Liverpool. Gerard doesn't look fit to be honest and what the deal with Aquilani is I have no idea. You spend £25m on a world class midfielder and don't even play him. If he's not fit he shouldn't be on the bench, if he is fit then he should be playing. Liverpool lack speed and skill going forward. However the big issue with Liverpool is those american owners. I'm sure that everyone around Liverpool now knows that they will not have any money for transfers providing those two Yank clowns are in charge. They can barely afford to pay in the interest on their loans never mind pay them off. That will have a negative effect on the team and is probably a contributing factor for the recent run of bad form. Looks like Parry and Moores have sold the club down the river. It's a shame really because Liverpool is a great club and of all the big four teams I'd rather see them win the league.
As a Blackburn fan I'm also kinda disappointed we didn't win the match. McCarthy, Kalinic and Di Santo all missed good chances. Although I would probably settle for a point against Liverpool before kick off as they usually beat us. A point puts us ahead of Burnley at least so that's more bragging rights to us!
As for The Carling cup then I think Villa is perhaps the best draw we could have got. Obviously they'll be favourates especially with having the second leg at Villa Park. I think it's important we can win the first leg and not concede, which will be difficult as they're good going forward.
Great World Cup draw for all European teams, except perhaps Portugal, but then I don't care about them anyway cuz they've got a side full of tossers. I think England should comfortably win their group. Can they win the World Cup? Well I'd say yes, but we're not favourates. I think it's perhaps our best chance for years because the majority of our team is still in it's prime while also having a lot of experience. My only fear is that in four years time Gerard, Lampard, Terry, Rio, A Cole, J Cole etc will all be like 33/34 and I think we'll struggle to replace them.
