He may start and play 70 min,or Rafa could give him the last 20min to play.I would rather he started but ether way I cant see him playing the full 90 min.

jesus_thats_gre

I reckon he will start.. Need to win this match!!

Melion

Anyone got a stream?

mike65

Rafa says Torres not guarenteed a start for a few weeks yet.

Keeping us waiting on the team sheet today then

zing

Finally

Reina, Carragher, Hyypia, Agger, Aurelio, Gerrard, Mascherano, Riera, Kuyt, Alonso, Keane.
Subs: Cavalieri, Darby, Lucas, Babel, Torres, Dossena, Benayoun.

mike65

Damn! beat me to it (you must have had your finger on F5!)

Carra right back then.

Mike

MementoMori

Bah - no Torres no Darby

Does this mean Keane playing up front on his own?

zing

I didn't get to see the game the other night - thankfully - but I did see a few comments about Hypia & Agger not working out too well at CB. Was that the case ? I know Carra at RB will help a lot but so it's hardly the same as having Deggan there but still..

mike65

Yep, unless Gerrard is right side (unlikely).

yep, has to be kuyt down the right and Gerrard behind Keane. Happy enough to see Torres on the bench, easing him back in is the way and Bolton would have tried to kick him around the place early on.

Jeez i have my doubts about Agger and hyppia

Is Torres not fit yet. or is he just taking it handy with him which is a good thing maybe.

whatawaster

come on Pool.

Keane to score two more

mike65

Rafa wants to keep him out of the Spain side, if he plays him he's "fit" so will have a hard time not releasing him.

hopefully the coach didn't see the Spurs game then

yayamark

Ya well does Rafa not know hes my captain this week:mad:?

Melion

Jesus, our fans are loud today. Louder than a lot of games at Anfield this year

PHB

Nearly every game I watch away fans are always louder than home fans, and Liverpool fans are no exception.

SantryRed

Bolton to win this I think.

a well thought out point.:rolleyes:

MementoMori

Bolton seem to be trying to focus on getting at Aurelio down the right whenever they have the chance. Luckily he seems to be playing well today but it does mean he cant get too forward. Carra doesnt seem to be so pinned back at RB at all.

Bolton sitting very deep when they dont have the ball.

Tasty through ball from Masch to Riera there

Bolton's defence in the final third doesnt look the most solid

SantryRed

1. Jaskelainen's on form.
2. There a strong physical side.
3. Liverpool have struggled to put chances away the past few weeks(exception of WBA)

Yep, they are sitting so far back that both Agger and Hyppia have been getting really well forward. Eg Agger there, in the peno spot and not from a corner. Looks like Bolton are hoping to ride their luck, but they can't have planned to defend whole game on the edge of their area..

whatawaster

Great effort from Kuyt.

He defo has a new pair of shooting boots this season. He's unleashed some thunderbolts

MementoMori

Nice effort from Kuyt off the bar

Melion

How many times has he hit the woodwork this season? Seems like an awful lot

Melion

Go on the Diggler

Great ****in header 1-0

whatawaster

Kuyt.

What a f**king header.

MementoMori

Keane looking isolated upfront - Torres for Alonso at half-time

Tasty tasty header from Kuyt 1-0

eZe^

I love those lobbed headers to the far post, they make the keeper look so silly.

mike65

if Liverpool stay in front there is no way Torres will come on!

Mike

whatawaster

how the hell did he miss that.

MementoMori

Less likely to see Torres now

Bad miss by Keane there

Podge2k7

Kuyt,cracking goal

Melion

Jesus, what a miss

ROCKMAN

Good finish

mike65

From Guardian

31 min: Liverpool pile on the pressure and Keane manages to miss the ball from five-yards out with the goal dressed in lingerie and inviting him to come in for some coffee.

Mike

MementoMori

Carra offering very little going forward from RB and not having much to do defensively - I'd far prefer to see him as CB with Sami on the bench and Darby on RB

Riera playing well along with Kuyt

Keane looking off-form

Maybe Babel upfront

Would really like a second goal to strengthen things and make life a lot easier in the second half

Im_No_Superman

Lol at Keanes miss.

Liverpool are playing very well though has to be said, the game should be out of sight for Bolton now.

More like lying on the bed in the nip with legs spread

Arguably worse than the CL miss

mike65

Oh bugger. Thank God ( good goal ruled offside!)

Mike

Melion

We need an early goal in the 2nd half to kill them off.

Id be very worried if it gets to the 70th minute and still only 1-0

whatawaster

I will destroy Robbie Keane if we don't win this game.

MementoMori

ooh think the ref got that one wrong

Thats always the danger with 1-0 - Also worryingwas the amount of space Bolton players got from that corner.

Dont think Reina has been particularly impressive especially with his distribution - way too many balls hoofed long and possession handed back to Bolton.

I'd swap Alonso for Babel at the moment - with the possibility of Torres for Keane around the 70 mark.

Another option sub wise could be Darby for Hyypia

whatawaster

Correct decision i think. Clearly obstruction.
