A LOOK at the key stats and figures from the drawn game against Liverpool.

ROVERS:

BRAD FRIEDEL: Had precious little to do apart from pick the ball out of his net twice...6

LUCAS NEILL: Kept a tight grip on Riise but his distribution let him down at times going forward...6

NILS-ERIC JOHANSSON: One last ditch tackle on Michael Owen was the highlight of his night but he was conspicous by his absence for Riise's winner...7

CRAIG SHORT: Snuffed out the threat of Owen up front with another solid defensive display before he made way for Grabbi late on...8

MARTIN TAYLOR: Another valuable education for the England Under 21 defender but he didn't look out of his depth against Owen and Diouf...7

GARRY FLITCROFT: Put himself about in midfield with a typically gutsy performance against the might of Gerrard and Hamann...7

TUGAY: Looks in need of a rest after his exertions in the World Cup. Never quite picked up the pace of the game...6

DAVID DUNN: A worthy recipient of the man of the match award. Scored one and made one from the right hand side of midfield...8

ANDY COLE: Plenty of effort and endeavour but it's just not happening for him in front of goal at the moment...6

DWIGHT YORKE: A touch off the pace up front but that's only to be expected because of his lack of competitive over the last 18 months...6

DAMIEN DUFF: Started off like a house on fire but Liverpool doubled up on him whenever possible which blunted his effectiveness...7
