Blackburn defender unimpressed with Liverpool performance

Central defender Chris Samba is disappointed Blackburn Rovers did not claim three points against an under-performing Liverpool. The Ewood Park outfit would likely have accepted a 0-0 home draw in the past with the perennially labelled title-challenging Reds.

However, this campaign sees Rafa Benitez's side well off the leading pack in the Premier League as the Merseysiders sit 12 points behind table-topping Chelsea.

The centre-back said: "It's easier defending against Liverpool this season than in previous ones.

"They didn't impress me as much as Chelsea and Manchester United especially. I don't think they are as good as them now.

"In a way it's a good point but we're a bit disappointed not to get all three because we should have won."
