Chris Samba claims Liverpool's fall from grace this season has been so substantial that Blackburn were disappointed they did not collect all three points on Saturday.
In years gone by this Millennium the Ewood Park outfit would likely have accepted a 0-0 home draw 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.
After Saturday's stalemate Liverpool also trail second-placed Manchester United by 10 points and Samba is annoyed Blackburn did not pile more pressure on Benitez.
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."
