Just when you think Liverpool have momentum, they have to play another match, and as Roy Hodgson's Reds have show, the best way to throw Liverpool off their game is by blowing the opening whistle. That would be the best explanation for why Liverpool has not built off Joe Cole's weekend goal. Instead they've given up the opener at Ewood Park, a goal scored from an unlikely source.
Blackburn Vs. Liverpool: Martin Olsson’s First Goal Of The Season Gives Rovers 1-0 Lead
Swedish defender Martin Olsson, taking a lay-off from attacker El-Hadji Diouf, has put Blackburn up in the 32nd minute. The shot beat Pepe Reina, barely getting in as it went off the `keeper's near post.
Liverpool also gave up the first goal this weekend at home against Bolton, but with a poor road record this season and little innovation this half, Blackburn;s goal may prove more important. Ten minutes before halftime, Liverpool trails Blackburn, 1-0.
