Glen Johnson was disappointed with Liverpool's scoreless stalemate with Blackburn Rovers by branding Sam Allardyce's side's style of play as 'ugly'. Liverpool's French striker David Ngog wasted the best chance of a woeful match as he hit the bar from close range after being set up by Johnson.
"It's always difficult against Blackburn because they don't play much football and just launch the ball forward at every opportunity.
"They play an ugly game very well and play to their strengths. It makes life difficult for the opposition at times.
"We knew what to expect and we tried to get the ball down on the floor and play. The pitch wasn't great and we took a while to get used to it, but that's football and you have to live with things like this."
The England international added: "We deserved to win, especially after our second-half performance.
"I thought we'd scored when I crossed for David but the ball hit the worst bobble I've ever seen before his effort came back off the bar.
"Sometimes luck doesn't go for you but I thought we played the best football and did enough to win the game. We were pushing and pushing and it was so frustrating we couldn't get that goal our play deserved."
