Rodolfo ready for direct approach

Reserve coach Rodolfo Borrell believes Liverpool might be forced to adopt a more direct style of play as they look to overcome a physical Blackburn side at the Academy on Tuesday - a match you can watch live on LFC TV and LFC TV Online from 1.30pm GMT. Rovers have yet to win a reserve game so far in 2011-12, but they did prove a tough nut to crack when the two sides shared the spoils in a goalless draw back in November. Borrell insists his side have learned some lessons from that encounter. "What we learnt was that maybe sometimes you cannot always play such beautiful football or such a good style and you have to mix it up sometimes depending who you play against," said Borrell.With a NextGen quarter-final against Tottenham looming just a week away, Borrell's men will be looking for a confidence boosting victory from the game against Blackburn and the reserve coach knows it won't be easy. "Blackburn is a very difficult fixture because they are a massive, physical side with some big and experienced players, like we faced in the first game," he said. "They have a very direct style of football that is not ideal for us but we know we have to face these kinds of sides. We have to take the right approach and get ready for the game. "It's not going to be easy. We had to give a massive performance - one of the best team performances - at Blackburn away to get just one point. We will have to do the same if we want to get something out of this game." Borrell also spoke of his frustration after last week's clash with Manchester United was called off due to a frozen pitch at Chester's Exacta Stadium. "We were building up the whole week and it was frustration when we were told the game was cancelled just two-and-a-half hours before the start of the game," he added. "It is not only about the build-up, it is also in terms of motivation, in terms of the talking to the players; individually, collectively, trying to put them in the right focus and to make the right approach to the game. "We must now put our work into practice against Blackburn."
