Great stuff. Few errors, Mavies was great, Ngog playing with great confidence (and looking like a fitting replacement for Elmo now) and Boggers once again with a solid performance.

Out of the relegation zone!

They bossed the midfield, a midfield 3 of Sparky, NRC & Holden will be a dream!

Petrov looked like the Petrov we were seing in pre season today.. Wheats was solid and bar the one header he missed for their goal he won all the headers you would expect him to win, Sam Ricketts & Gretar were quality on their flanks.... Bogdan surely must come in contention to keep his place when Jussi comes back.

To miss Muamba off that surprises me, he didn't show as much as the other 2, but the tracking and marking he did were outstanding, Gerrard never got alook in today and a lot of that was down to Muamba.

ESPN revew .... which is Keegan & Barnes .... are looking at where the Scousers went wrong rather than we went right. Even though Keegan is trying to say Bolton were under=respected.

Anyway, phew.

A word for Sam Rickets, he's growing every game. Commitment from all,effort, running, energy, passion and taking our chances, that was the difference. Bring on MOTD... :oyea:

I agree with what your saying but out of the 3 I think Mo would be dropped because of what the other two do, I guess it would rotate with the oppersition games like this Mo would play and then games where we want to be more attacking Holden would play

Petrov will play well in a team which is doing well. In a backs-to-the-wall situation he'll struggle.

& it's no coincidence that Robbo wasn't dragging him down.

Best collective performance of the season, that, better than Stoke for me. Everyone played well, but special praise has to everyone in midfield and N'Gog - all excellent today. Well done OC for firstly changing it (perhaps a few games too late!) then sticking with it.

Has Mark Davies earned his S yet?

I'm bloody chuffed. Lucky we weren't forced into making changes 'cause our bench looked awful. A few new faces before February and I'm optimistic again.

Who was named MoTM? Mavies for me, but NRC, Moo, Eagles all worthy. Very happy with Ricketts and Ngog, too.

Great alround peformance but who is this Mark Wilson that the BBC says scored for us??

".... Early on Mark Wilson drifted through the centre and drilled left-footed into the bottom corner from 15 yards. ..."

Been said, but our midfield were awesome. Nice to see 4-5-1 being tried at home, Mark Davies will be giving any team the horrors in this kind of form, he was immense today. Coker was superb too and for a slow player you need a stick of dynamite to get the ball off him. He holds the ball up very well and seems to be calmness personified when he receives the ball in the box.

Ngog doesn't look like scoring but he played the lone striker role better than Klasnic or Davies possibly could.

Even a Knightmare couldn't take away 3 points. Let the good times roll! :pissed:

Great performance by the lads. So many good things to talk about. Liverpool didn't know what had hit them, constantly on the back foot and struggling to cope against a resolute and determined Bolton side. Best win against Liverpool we've had since we got promoted.
