Saturday 15th of this month, sees us making the short trip to Anfield. A ground that brings back great memories, winning the title in May 1995 and the prolific threat of Nathan Blake getting a late winner in the FA CUP. Latest league form: Liverpool - DWDDDL Rovers- DLDLWW A mate of mine, Craig kindly agreed to be bullied by some Rovers questions. What were the supporters expectations of Liverpool for this season after a great end to the season in Istanbul? Mainly to close the gap in the Premiership after finishing 30+ points behind the winners, aswell as defending our CL title to the best of our ability. After a year in charge, what's your impression of Benitez and the players that he's brought in? Some of the signings are top class such as Alonso Garcia (to a certain extent of importance last season). Some are unproved and need time to show what they can do in a Liverpool shirt, like Crouch and Sissoko... But one or two of his signings haven't been too great, Nunez is one of them, but he's moved on and is now doing good for Celta Vigo in Spain, and Josemi is the other, who is finding his feet now. What was your overall opinion of the possible return of Owen returning to Anfield? It depends on how much we would've paid for him. We got rid of him for 8mil (+ Nunez) last summer, and if we had to buy him back for 17mil then I'd be a bit disappointed. Would've been a good signing yes, but we would've been paying more then double then amount we got for him. At the time when he was linked with us we had Crouch, Cisse, Baros, Morientes and Pongolle. Don't get me wrong, I think Owen could and probably would outscore any of them above, but at the time a striker wasn't top priority. Is there any players breaking through the club's successful Academy getting into the first team squad? Neil Mellor last season scored 5 goals in 11 games, and scored in 2 vitals games in Arsenal and Olympiacos. Darren Potter has featured a lot pre-season, but that was only for friendlies and CL qualifiers. Stephen Warnock may play a big part this season, but he has competition considering Traore, Riise and Zenden can play left back if needs be. John Welsh is out on loan to Hull City at the moment. Were you surprised with Gerrard and his antics over a move to Chelsea in the summer? I was more gobsmacked when he said he wanted to leave after winning the CL and was quoted "How can I leave the club now..." He ended up not going to Chelsea, and considering last season I am not surprised at all by this. Liverpool is the club he loves, and has stayed loyal to (even though the media makes it out that he isn't as loyal as what he actually is). In the Rovers team, does anyone you think look to cause Liverpool many problems? I think Finnan/Josemi will have to watch out for Pedersen sneaking through on the left flank. People know now that he is capable of a lot of things which not many players could pull off, scoring great goals. Also the strikeforce on paper is a lot better this season for Blackburn with Kuqi and Bellamy added, who are both proven goalscorers in England. What is your opinion on Blackburn? Many criticised us for our 'bully boy' tactics last season, do you feel it was deserved? Being a Liverpool fan I am bound to think it is deserved, mainly because in the matches between Blackburn and Liverpool there has been bad injuries. The Cisse one was an accident, but (I think) it was Lucas Neill that broke Baros' foot and Jamie Carragher's leg a few years back, but I might be wrong on that one. I think Blackburn are certainly one of the rougher teams, but every team will get bookable offences in a season, and teams have different ways of keeping the opposition out. Let's just say, Blackburn take the 'physical' approach. What kind of team do you think Benitez will put out against us and how will you approach the game? After today's 4-1 defeat to Chelsea, we may put out more of an attacking team, or play a more attacking formation, but it's hard to say with Liverpool. I think the line up will be Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Warnock, Garcia, Gerrard, Sissoko, Alonso, Riise, Crouch. Don't take my word for it though, because Benitez is known for swapping the team about. Your prediction for the game? I think anything other then a win at home against a team like Blackburn considering the circumstances will be a disappointment (no disrespect). I'd like to think we can win this 2-0, but inconsistancy has taken a toll on us again this season in the league Many Thanks to Craig for that. My prediction will be a Rovers win. The break is probably the last thing we could have, we have had two very good wins in the last week and are playing some decent football. But, players can recover such as Bellamy so I'm predicting a 2-1 win. Team: Friedel Neill Todd Nelsen Gray Bentley Savage Reid Pedersen Bellamy/Kuqi Dickov

If that happens I'll buy everyone a pint. Rovers 3 - 1 West Brom Bellamy to get two today.

I'm not bothering complaining for that reason Andy. I didn't get chance to look at her badge number as I was walking down behind her, then steward took me out. Apparently, she had warned me. I caught the second half highlights yesterday afternoon, Police outside treated us like s***.

I'm not going to bother complaining. It won't get us anywhere. I did what I was told when I had to, so I'll just leave it.

I was chucked out first for that. Friedel made a save with his feet early on in the second half, so I held the USA flag and chanted with everyone else, Friedel, Friedel etc. A Policewoman said to me, I want a word, which I agreed to. She told the steward, who took me downstairs then outside. He told me why, I gave him my point of view, apparently I had been warned about the flag earlier, which I hadn't. slater_scott was thrown out for exactly the same, he wasn't there when I was thrown out. Outside, I talked to the head steward there I think that's who he was, had a good laugh with him outside.

We didn't sell out last year. I was meant to be on seat 1 or 2 can't remember, but the security team moved us to the back as we didn't sell out. We won't this year eitehr.

Yeah, New Year's Eve. Not sure what time kick off is.

Grooby had loads of fans after him last night. Met John Williams, Dickov, Gray, Kurab, Friedel, Bellamy and Bentley. Bentley's bird isn't bad either.

I haven't seen a goal watching Rovers this season. I missed West Ham away and Fulham at home. If we don't score tomorrow night, when will we?

Not sure if they still are now. But they had an affair a bit ago.

Exactly my thoughts. But people aren't going to pay to watch c*** football at the end of the day.

You can buy them on the night of the game. That's what I am doing.

If people want to go, let them, if people don't want to go, let them. People aren't going to pay extra if we're not going to score a goal sooner or later, I don't blame anyone for not going, £10 to watch Huddersfield on a Wednesday night, you're choice.

I'd be happy with a draw, over the moon in fact.

I don't blame anyone for not going. We've already paid enough this year, all be it ticket prices are cheap, it's an extra bit of cash to fork out for a ###### poor game. I'll be there, only because the storylines on Corrie are getting boring.

Not surprised about the attendance. Tickets are a bit pricey, it's a 2pm kick off on Sunday and the game is televised on Paper View, allowing people to watch it at the pub. Why should people pay £30 + and whatever else they spend at the footy when they can spend £10 or so in the pub and watch it there.

I agree with that. Full strength 11, 4-4-2, chance to win and give themselves confidence ahead for the next few games.

We didn't play as bad as the score makes out. For a good 50/60minutes we played ok, got at Newcastle. We didn't take our chances, missed a player up at top moving around, I would have had Kuqi up there with Bellamy, there's no point knocking the ball up to Bellamy because he's too small to win it and no point with Jansen up there as I can't see him doing it. Newcastle took their chances when they had to, we didn't. Next home game, 4-4-2.

All I'll to the Aussies on here. You're ancestors were chosen by the best judges in the world.

We did get attacked, sort of. In the beer garden, suddenly heard about 20 Bolton lads, shouting, "t*** those @#/? rovers lot". We all split up in pub and hid in there, landlord and his wife asked me what was goin on, his wife was going to call the Police and wanted them to arrest us, she hadn't a clue. Strange to think, because in that pub there was Rovers and Bolton fans in the pub, before the game and after the game, landlord was a Rovers fan as well.

You lot were chanting his name yesterday. Few games ago, you were wanting him out. Strange.

I agree with that. Savage was the one, who was closing down Villa players in injury time trying to make something happen. He still isn't match fit, which will come in a game or two. Savage will be a better player than people think, he doesn't get the credit he deserves because of who he is and how he winds people up. He isn't my favourite player, he does look like an idiot at times, but Savage may be an important player give time. Savage and Reid together in the midfield, help each other and work well together.

Think Leeds sing one similar to Nuclearsox said.

I like that.

The Invisible Man, I am all for fans to sing, chant and have a good time. We did on Saturday as well, had a few beers. I didn't see what happened after the game so I can't say who was to blame or not.
