Bolton v Liverpool match thread

31-10-2010 1:28pm #1

4pm Skysports

Looking forward to this.

A win for Liverpool will ease the pressure slighly on Hodgson and could shoot up the table to the dizzy heights of 11th. With Chelsea next week a win is much needed.

A win for Bolton by 2 or more goals and it's top 5.

Total football awaits....

ShamoBuc · 31-10-2010 1:32pm

Any sort of a win will do, but if we continue our run of good performances ( 2 I think) we should be going home with 3 points - badly needed given our next lge game.
Hopefully the team sheet will not show many - if any - changes.

31-10-2010 1:34pm

The team is unchanged afaik.

Bolton won't fear this Liverpool team one bit.

Lee and Petrov will cause that back line loads of problems.

Lee seems a very good prospect.

And Im hoping that will be their downfall. Complacentcy.

Would be great if we can improve on our performance from Blackburn. Should get something out of this. 1-0 liverpool.

Bolton will cause Liverpool more problems than Blackburn because these days they try to play football. With the back four Liverpool have - strong in the air but lacking in pace - long ball football plays into their hands. The lack of pace in the Bolton forard line could be their undoing.

2-1 Liverpoool, Torres with both. Petrov for Bolton.

You would have thought Blackburns style would have played into Chelsea's hands too, yet they could have quite easily won that game yesterday.

They played well yesyerday granted - they're excellent at Ewood and give everyone a game. They offered nothing at Anfield though and the agricultural back four ye currently field will head long balls away in their sleep.

Strong in the air? Not the Liverpool back four by a long shot.

Carragher is very average in the air as is Skrtel with his 50p head style of heading a ball, and Konchesky is no great shakes. Soto is brilliant in the air alright though.

Am sticking with my 3-1 to the reds prediction from the Liverpool superthread though.:)

mormank · 31-10-2010 3:32pm

Any confirmed lineup yet?

Now that is a discussion for the super thread.

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 4:17pm

Liverpool: Reina, Konchesky, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Lucas, Meireles, Maxi, Cole, Gerrard, Torres.

Subs: Hansen, Poulsen, Jovanovic, Spearing, Kelly, Shelvey, Ngog.

Finical · 31-10-2010 4:17pm

Confirmed team for Liverpool anyways:

Liverpool: Reina, Konchesky, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Lucas, Meireles, Maxi, Cole, Gerrard, Torres. Subs: Hansen, Poulsen, Jovanovic, Spearing, Kelly, Shelvey, Ngog.

Beat me to it^^.

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 4:18pm

Three centre mids on the bench is a bit much.
Where is Pacheco? He should be on there over one of Spearing/Shelvey/Poulsen

mike65 · 31-10-2010 4:20pm

Pacheco, like Agger is not a Hogdson type player.

31-10-2010 4:22pm

A lot of youth on the bench.

I'm happy to see Shelvey there though, Spearing I'm afraid will never be good enough.

Agger is injured. Pacheco, is no different a player than Joe Cole.

Xavi6 · 31-10-2010 4:28pm

I've a tenner on Paul Robinson to be booked.

Agger was playing when he was fit. He's been injured for a while now.

Don't see Spearing having much of a future at the club myself. But can't be any worse than Poulsen.

mike65 · 31-10-2010 4:32pm

RH likes Spearing, he name checked him in pre-season so I think he'll be playing in Europe for as long as we're in it.

MR NINE · 31-10-2010 4:38pm

Thats a very week bench. I would've liked to see Pacheco on the bench, in place of one of the centre mids.

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 4:40pm

Why is Martin Hansen on the bench over that Brad Jones lad?

wixfjord · 31-10-2010 4:42pm

Anyone see the Torres montage thing before the break on Sky? Very good.

Yeah, they do glitz things up alright. Well until you have to watch Big Sam and little pete talking bollocks.

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 4:45pm

Big Sam and Peter Reid in the studio with Richard Keys.

Just put us out of our misery now!

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 4:47pm

Roy giving an interview to Sky.

Awaits the new Liverpool fans lynch mob to dissect it and take quotes out of context to suit their agenda.

There's no need, Roy doesn't any help in making a plank out of himself.

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 4:49pm

"Looks sorta tired, Roy, doesn't he?" - Richard Keys

That's the type of analysis that keeps him in the job. Top work Richard.

stumpypeeps · 31-10-2010 4:51pm

It'll be interesting to watch Lee. Rumours we were sniffing around earlier in the year. 40 appearances, 5 goals, 8 assists last year for Bolton. He could add some decent width down our right. At 22 he's the profile of player NESV should be looking at.

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 4:52pm

Big Sam talking positively about Liverpool :eek:

There you go Purslow, the only clear positive from getting rid of Rafa and appointing Roy.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 31-10-2010 4:54pm

Great insight by big Sam and Peter Reid....:rolleyes:

I'm a fan of Lee looks like a very good prospect. The kind of player we desperately need.

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 4:55pm

Martin Petrov out with a hamstring injury.
Phew. Was worried he'd rip Carra a new one.

Prediction: Another 2-1 to Liverpool. Gruesome twosome Gerrard and Torres to score.

Should at least have hit the target anyway.

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 5:13pm

Mildly encouraging anyway.

Konchesky providing good service to Cole and he whipped in a good cross there.

Least Torres got into a position to score.

You defense of him is admirable but if he stops making retardedly stupid statements, the dissecting will pretty much completely stop.

Yeah he is still not fully back into the swing of things,

Cole has been a bit off so far too.

31-10-2010 5:20pm

70% posession Liverpool

anplaya · 31-10-2010 5:21pm

any 1 have decent links,cant seem to download sopcast

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 5:22pm

Very late tackle from Konkers.

Only noticing now that Aurelio isn't even on the bench, despite him being currently fit (afaik) yet Martin Kelly is

Revolution9 · 31-10-2010 5:23pm

Great effort.

Hopefully will wake us up a bit
