BR: Liverpool claimed their first away point of the Premiership season with a stalemate at St. Andrew’s yesterday, after having ‘keeper Pepe Reina to thank for making some outstanding saves.
From the start the Reds had lined up with more of a solid than spectacular team, with Christian Poulsen and Lucas Leiva paired in the centre of midfield and new signing Raul Meireles having to make do with a place on the bench. Captain Steven Gerrard was pushed forward in support of Fernando Torres, with Maxi Rodriguez coming in to replace the stricken Dirk Kuyt. Paul Konchesky came in to make his competitive Reds debut at left back in place of Danny Agger in the only other change for Liverpool.
