Bolton v Liverpool Match Thread

Regarding the anonimity of Liverpool players I made that comment on the 606 message board (I know, I've only got myself to blame) and was roundly chastised by Scousers saying 'Maxi's played 40 odd times for the Argies'and so on.

I still say though that Gerrard, Torres apart you'd fail to recognise a Liverpool player if you passed him in the street.

You might give Kuyt a double take but only because you'd mistake him for post fireball Nikki Lauder.

Liverpool players used to be household names now they're a bunch on non-descript journeymen. Ngog, Kryiakos, Lucas these aren't 'Liverpool' players.

Gud. The more things that go wrong at Anfield the better let's hope we can keep the ball rolling.

I dont know any of their players anymore, is that Gerrard Stevens or whatever still playing for them?
No he's rightfully in jail for assaulting a barman

Actually, sorry. I slipped into an alternate universe when footy players were bound by the same laws as normal non-£100k a week folk

Liverpool are well groggy, on the ropes and awaiting that KO Punch. The way we've been playing we can win this game. My only worry is Torres tearing through the middle like Rodalega did at the w/end; we have a tendency to get caught out too much like that at the mo. I was going to say 2-1, but with Carragher hot on the heels of Dunne as most prolific scorer of own goals in the prem, I'll go for 3-1.

What say ye? Elmo on for Muamba as an impact sub when/if needed.
We want to drop our top goalscorer? For a game against a side who haven't been playing at all well and are there for the taking? And we moaned incessantly about Megson being too negative?
I say...WTF???
I hardly think there's anything negative about the formation I posted; you have a point about Elmo's goalscoring form but I'd rather drop him than SKD. And I'd definitely bring him on around 60 minutes in.

I agree that the formation itself, with 2 attacking(ish) midfielders isn't negative in and of itself, but dropping a striker to stick in an extra midfielder, one who hasn't been doing THAT much recently anyway, just smacks of caution.
And I can think of at least one man who would have been absolutely crucified for doing it...

They're their for the taking, defensively they're amongst the worst in the league and with no confidence I can see us putting a few past em. 4-1 and 'sacked in the morning' ringing round the Reebok for the last half hour.

That'll bring back a few unpleasant memories.

It's thebish's superstition, that's all. he has to say we're doomed or we'll lose, it seems...

He probably has to wear a tie-dye cassock and eat a wafer at half time as well...

True! A Reebok favourite from 2007 to jan 2009, just goes to show how quickly things can change in football.

Really looking forward to this - I fancy us to do both this shower of shit and Spuds the week after. Would love to see young Rodrigo running at Konchesky.....

I'm getting really keyed up about this game now. Liverpool's defence is complete shite and if we get stuck into them they'll fold like a pack of cards.

Get a few high balls in the box to test Reina and have SKD whacking him in the ribs a few times.

My only concern is keeping the ball away from Torres, despite his lack of form so far we all know that counts for nothing when you're facing the Wanderers.

If I was doing the team talk for this game I'd say the following.

'...right lads listen. I fecking hate these scouse bastards. Now get out there and rip 'em to fecking pieces.'

That should do the trick.

Not too sure about this one, think Liverpool could be 'bouncing back' ever so slightly?

1 - 1 with Petrov scoring.

Nice write up, by the way. An enjoyable read!

Surely we can't keep drawing games?

Hope we have a go at them anyway as they are as vulnerable as we will have ever played a Liverpool team, perhaps since Deano prodded one home from 20 yards anyway...

Ah, what a night! I remember feeling actually scared before the match about the thought of Michael Owen ripping us to shreds. Bruno had him in his pocket!

Speaking of Liverpool home games in recent past... that moment Campo scored his first goal for us and celebrated like he already loved the place, oh yes!

Sign o' the times there on RAWK. They're looking at Bolton away as a 'crucial' game and they're not expecting anything other than tough game with their fingers crossed for a win.

They're running scared already.
