9/14 Friedel: Blackburn vs. Liverpool [R] 10AM EST Barry Ferguson set to make his debut: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/preview?id=107645&cc=5901
Lucas Neil sent off for foul on Carragher. Friedel made good save from Hyppia and almost got to Owens` penalty.
Sky Sports commentator going on and on about how well Friedel has done despite giving up three goals. Says it would have been much worse without him. "Brad Friedel doesn't deserve this, the way he's played."
Brad seems the forgotten keeper on these boards for today. For the record. Blackburn losing 3-1 and it looks like Liverpool were shooting constantly.
And it's a final. Blackburn 1 - Liverpool 3 Goals: Jansen (7) Owen - pen (11) Owen (67) Kewell (89) ESPN Matchtracker gives Liverpool 21 shots with 14 on goal. Granted they give Brad 15 saves so something is amiss.
A good showing from Friedel. I am very troubled by the defensive performance so far this season from Blackburn. I would have expected better from the likes of Babbel, Amoruso, Gresko, and co. This could be a very long season. It's just not right that your keeper can make a dozen saves and still lose! Lets hope the rest of team work things out...quick!
A victim of his own success last season? And a victim of Tim Howard as well. Also does not help that there was no free audio for it either.
