Liverpool Away - Questions for RAWK

[weebroalan]

I'm a Liverpool supporter and a member of the independent LFC fansite 'www.Redandwhitekop.com/forum' In the build-up to the match we run a feature called 'Spyin Kop' in which we ask an opposition fans site for their thoughts on the game and the respective teams.

As well as providing an alternative viewpoint on the upcoming match we hope to bring in some opposition fans for friendly banter and discussion pre and post game. It also gives us the chance to swap information about good pubs, bad burger vans etc.

I've put some questions below, if you could answer them we'd be very grateful. If you can't spare the time but know someone who might be able to then please forward this message on to them and get them to email me their responses at [email protected]

Cheers and regards,

Alan

PS. When the article is complete I'd be happy to post a link and you'd be welcome to come along to the site and see the reaction. if you wanted to run a similar article we'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about Anfield etc.

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes part.

So here are our questions:

1. Have Bolton exceeded your expectations this season as you sit close to the Champions League places during the festive period?

2. What are your expectations for this season? Have they changed from the beginning of the season?

3. What has been the big difference between this season's performances and last?

4. Who do you think is your most important player(s)?

5. Your worst player(s)?

6. Do you have a particular memory of any previous meeting between our clubs? Days to remember and days to forget?

7. Any young up and coming players in the squad that we might not know about?

8. What sort of line-up will Coyle put out against us and how will he approach the trip to Anfield?

9. Do you have any favourite/best chant(s) and perhaps any that require an explanation?

10. Where do you expect Bolton and Liverpool to finish in the Premier League?

11. Which Liverpool player will you fear the most?

12. And finally, care to predict the score?

Fair enough mate - but would really appreciate if a few could otherwise I'll be making up answers

do one. youre not having him.

Coyle certainly seems like a very attractive proposition at the minute although I honestly can't see it happening so I wouldn't worry.

1. Have Bolton exceeded your expectations this season as you sit close to the Champions League places during the festive period?

Tiramisu.

[Worthy4England]

Indeed.

Is this the one that we answered last year, and then they proceeded to make up answers anyway, defending their actions because they forgot to ask those particultar questions?

1. Have Bolton exceeded your expectations this season as you sit close to the Champions League places during the festive period?

Absolutely. It's the first time since the Allardyce era that I feel we can get something from all of our matches.

2. What are your expectations for this season? Have they changed from the beginning of the season?

It's so tight that I'm trying not to get my hopes up for Europe. Top 10 and the financial rewards that brings will do for me. At the start of the season I would have been happy to finish 17th given how little Coyle spent so yes, expectations have changed.

3. What has been the big difference between this season's performances and last?

Short answer: Owen Coyle. Longer answer: the attitude is just so much more positive and the players are pushing themselves hard for 90 minutes. The Blackburn win was a classic example. Under Megson they'd have simply given up after the equalizer.

4. Who do you think is your most important player(s)?

Spiritually it's the captain. Despite Kevin Nolan's claim to be "Mr. Bolton" a few years back it's always been Davies. That said, we're not a one man team and I can't really think of a "best player." Everyone has a part to play.

5. Your worst player(s)?

Riga? Joey O'Brien? In terms of guys who play regularly, I still don't feel comfortable with Knight at the back but he's not bad.

6. Do you have a particular memory of any previous meeting between our clubs? Days to remember and days to forget?

I was at the New Year's game in 2006. Loved it when Diouf scored.

7. Any young up and coming players in the squad that we might not know about?

No, unfortunately. I'm watching the Villa game right now and it's depressing to see how many guys they have on the pitch who came up through their system. Not that it's worked all that well for them this season.

8. What sort of line-up will Coyle put out against us and how will he approach the trip to Anfield?

He's gone with 4-4-2 against better teams than Liverpool so I wouldn't expect any different.

9. Do you have any favourite/best chant(s) and perhaps any that require an explanation?

Nah.

10. Where do you expect Bolton and Liverpool to finish in the Premier League?

Pretty close to each other. 6th, 7th, 8th or so.

11. Which Liverpool player will you fear the most?

Depends how fit Gerrard and Torres are. Gerrard I guess . . . you never know when he'll dive in the box.

12. And finally, care to predict the score?

Maybe a 1-1 or a 2-2.

If I wanted to be subject to a shed load of abuse from scousers, I'd put a 'closed' sign in the window of Primark on Church St. I'll pass on this one.

I have no intention of changing anything anyone says - I will simply cut and paste your responses into the RAWK thread

I don't believe that is what happened last season.

Typically we put answers for these things, get mocked for not having enough fans told that you're a bigger club etc. So with that I'm out

Haven't got much ammo to mock with these days though do they?

Nice work, Mr Worth!

Not as much mocking going on these days from our lot for obvious reasons.

Aye, I understand that fella but it won't take long

[Bruce Rioja]

Well, someone's going to have to do it so as to avoid a situation whereby we're represented solely by Pedersen!
