We are simply lacking bite up front, figuratively and literally.

Junior D

Come on Bolton!!!!

Bowlardo

Just don't lose. If it goes to a replay have the full team out.
Gerard has to start the next day if fit.

~Rebel~

Lame.

Christ he's a bloody awful ref.

Fair play Bolton.

Deserved after some heroic defending

niallo27

The quadruple is still on.

Will I Amnt

Nice one Bolton
Deserved the draw through sheer resilience and hard work.

Thats pants, brendan shouldve used that fourth sub.

Reply just what is not needed, but may give Sturidge an extra game to get match fit

Junior D

Good result for, hung on but had our own chances, wasn't all one way. Vela impressed, and Bogdan was excellent. Fancy our chances in the Reebok now!

bad2dabone

Fixture pile up for Liverpool now?

Yeah you have to give it to them they did play well defensively. It's kind of annoying seeing mills play the full 90 I think he should have saw red for a second yellow.

the incredible pudding

Ref didn't do us any favours but we shouldn't have needed any. Bolton are a poor team.

Pity you will not have the same ref

Thats a terrible result at home ffs an extra game we just dont need:mad:

DaveSuarez

At least Bolton didn't score an away goal.

Funnily enough, I think we'll find it easier at the Reebok and should win it.

Fair play to Bolton though. Well set up, very solid at the back and Bogdan was superb. I remember him being quality when they were in the Premier League.

He did not play the full game his replacement spearing should have conceded a pen

When will the reply be?

Mills should have saw red for the foul on markovic. It was a blatant foul that he got away with.

Not too bad given some of the results and performances seen against lower league teams so far this weekend. Would have been through with some competent reffing.

Most likely between the West Ham and Everton games

Honestly I have said it for a long time Kevin friend has got to be the worst ref in England. You never see him get a big game and that tells you all you need to know.
Two big decisions put his way tonignt and he just said no foul / play on.

Get over it. Bolton were lucky with Mills not getting sent off and the penalty shout was 50/50. Liverpool had chances, yet struggled to break down a "poor" championship team. Liverpool should've been able to win without those calls mentioned and if they are going to resort to blaming the ref after that game, it's pretty pathetic I think

I still remember the game V Fulham Dempsey headbutts Liverpool player in front of him and he does nothing only for Dempsey to score the winner

I'm sorry but the ref was pathetic,you can't honestly say he wasn't at all.At the end of the day people will discuss a ref if he has been bad because he didn't do his job correctly. It's a big talking point in football when you don't get the big decisions made correctly.

No team is too good for penalty decisions, no matter who the opposition are, they change games.

e.r

Should be through to next round. Only for Edd Sheeran in goals..

Ah no particular reason. I'm sure Bolton will still make it hard and be defensively solid again, but I just think we'll win it by a couple of goals.

Junior D

The ref wasn't pathetic. He made a bad decision in letting Mills stay on the pitch. In general he was fine. I know that decision was a big one in terms of how the game could've panned out, but the ref wasn't the reason that game ended in a draw or that Liverpool lack any cutting edge up front

I agree with your comment, but I disagree that it was a penalty

SlickRic

Deserved for Bolton for the sheer effort.

However, we should've been playing 10 men for 40 minutes, had a penalty, and if we had a competent striker on the field we'd have won comfortably.

Meh.

Jason McAteer mentioned Sky while working for BT Sport! Very awkward!

Should've said penalty/red card decision, also massive game changers.

I like Lennon. Speaks sense

No point moaning about referee decisions when you cant finish tons of chances.

Completely agree. The Bolton lad should have been sent off, but we can't be relying on that to happen. I thought Bolton were defensively superb, we didn't take our chances (mostly due to Bogdan) so Bolton deserve the replay.

Ref makes the correct call and Bolton go down to 10 more space opens up in their 8 man defence

Then Liverpool pour forward leaving gaps to Bolton to exploit on the counter-attack and create possibly more chances similar to the ones previous in the game.....



Its a poor argument that if Mills was to be sent off, Liverpool would've won the game. Who is to say it wouldn't have galvanised Bolton and they would've taken one of the chances they had and won the game?? See where I'm going with this?

shamrock55

We havent conceded a goal from play in 4 games:eek:

Great result and performance, Lennon has put some great work in there.

Well capable of taking Pool at home

Fcuk that. We had enough chances and possession after that to score.

We got what we deserved

Just said more space would have opened up, never said they would have won

Fair enough, you didn't. But I'd like to ask why did you bring up that point about the possibility of more space opening up after a sending off if it wasn't going to lead to a possible Liverpool win?

Nope.

We couldn't finish, so it was our fault we didn't won, but the ref also missed/bottled stuff.

It happens.

History will say if an inferior team goes down to ten men there is less chance of them not losing. Of course it wouid have made a difference.
