Liverpool v Bolton- Match Thread

[bigfooty]

Torres on the left, cross in, Bolton let it run and cleared for a corner.

Gerrard corner deep to Crouch but his header is always going wide, back across the goal.

[bigfooty]

There are goals in this game for us if we can find the right passes, Bolton's defending is a mixture of very good and very bad so far.

Sami finds Riise, back to Kewell who trys a half-volley but well wide.

[bigfooty]

Sami and Carra a bit panicky with their distribution.

Yossi drifting infield a bit too much.

Almost a very good ball through to Riise from Lucas I think.

[Sprouty]

Lucas.

[bigfooty]

Lucas plays a good ball to Torres, he trys to trick his way past Samuel but cleared for a throw.

Lucas, Kewell and Crouch a good 1-2, Crouch trys to flick it back but doesn't come off.

Kewell and Campo clash after a foul by Kewell, Riise in to split them up.

[spud_gun]

Lucas.

Is he having a good game?

If you can score these kind of goals regularly you're going to win a lot of games. Something we've needed in the last couple of seasons as we've struggled to break teams down.

Exactly

Over the last seasons we have had several threads on this issue. A LOT (myself incl) of posters has bemoaned the fact that we didn't have a decent man to do the corners and freekicks. What we are seeing from Gerrard this season is extraordinary. His freekicks on goal and his crosses on corners and freekicks are hitting a much needed new high. Very interesting to see that development in Gerrards game!

[carrsim]

[Marky]

[carrsim]

torres like lightening

[bigfooty]

Quiet game from Torres after the heroics in mid-week.

Kewell and Lucas best players so far.

Carra with a horror pass to Bolton but they fail to break.

Bolton with a similar horror ball, Torres latches onto it but takes it a bit wide. Shoots wide.

Gerrard is certainly improving in that respect, but no way should he be taking corners IMO,

[ningnangnong]

Torres goes close.

[bigfooty]

Bolton do have the numbers in Midfield. Gerrard struggling to impose himself.

Botlon free kick straight through to Pepe.
