Blackburn Rovers midfielder Vince Grella is unhappy with Liverpool FC boss Rafa Benitez’ attack on his side’s playing style.
Grella, who came on as a second-half substitute at Anfield, feels Allardyce's team acquitted themselves well and should stick with the formula with tough games looming against Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.
"I've played football in Italy for a long time and to be labelled a long-ball specialist was a little bit offensive," Grella told the Lancashire Telegraph.
"But it's part of football. You've got to have thick skin.
"I'm a little bit disappointed. I thought we had a great game against Liverpool.
"I've seen it in Liverpool's players' eyes that it was a tough game for them and they couldn't wait for the final whistle.
"We played a good game. I think we gave away that goal just before half-time that let us down a little bit but it was a good performance by the team.
