Direct Approach May Solve Liverpool's Goal Problem

The game at Blackburn today has got all supporters wondering which particular Liverpool side will turn up.

Will it be the side that won with little fuss at Chelsea, or will it be the side that battered Spurs but managed to lose the game?

We’ve huffed and puffed lately, especially at home and without the threat of Torres it seems we are a bit toothless.

Against West Ham last Monday we had lots of possession but it looked like we could have played until midnight and not scored. Sometimes it’s worth just getting the ball into the box and looking for knock-downs.

We don’t seem to have that option and maybe certain teams have worked out how to stifle us.

Maybe we will be better away from home. Blackburn is another must-win.

For the first time for years we are approaching the Christmas games with a lead in the championship race. Blackburn are also struggling and Paul Ince is under pressure to get a result.

Another old boy in the shape of Robbie Fowler may also lie in wait to give us a lesson in the art of finishing.

How valuable would a Fowler in his heyday be to us now?

Blackburn have scored the least amount of home goals in the Premier League this season.

Visiting keepers have picked the ball out of the net just four times so far, so you would think that even a misfiring Liverpool should have enough to come away with a much-needed win.
