Souness: We bossed the game

"Same old Blackburn!" Souness said after the game.

"Play lots of good football, have the best of the game, create lots of chances, but end up losing, the second goal was particularly disappointing."

"Even when we went down to ten men we still bossed the game.

"Their goalkeeper had made some good saves, and some lucky saves.

"Martin Taylor had a flawless game, he never put a foot wrong, except when he allowed the ball to bounce and Rooney went on to score.

"But we knew we were in trouble when we saw the referee's name."

"I've been long enough in the game to know that we are going about it the right way, if we stick with it I believe we will be well up the table by the end of the season.

"We play as much football as anyone in this division, what we don't do is defend like the teams at the top. If we did I firmly believe we would be right up there.

"We've played Everton twice in a month and got no points when we should have got something from both games."
