Blackburn defender Chris Samba was disappointed to have not claimed three points off Liverpool on Saturday and claims that the Reds are not as good as they used to be.

"It's easier defending against Liverpool this season than in previous ones," he said.

"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."
