This Gerrard penalty miss against Blackburn would probably have not made a big difference to the eventual result ( 3-1 to Blackburn), but it would certainly have set up a tense last few minutes for the home side.
Gerrard’s missed penalty vs Blackburn came just minutes after he had pulled one back for Liverpool.

Any positives Liverpool might have got with their last gasp win over Bolton at the weekend vanished with this 3-1 loss at the hands of Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
Liverpool vs Bolton ( 1-1- Torres goal)
Anfield- January 1, 2011
Many Liverpool fans have felt disgusted by the way their team has played in recent times, but this goal was a pleasure to watch. Excellent build up for the goal and a more than decent finish to accompany it.
After seeing this particular goal, Roy will be wondering why his charges cannot replicate it week in and week out.
