Bolton Build up thread

[Fubar]

Suprised not to see one already.

i really fancy us to walk away with a 4 or 5 goal win. players coming back from injury, public comments about poor performances from players and no european game this week.

they should just be told to go out and not worry about defending just score 10 and then they shouldnt be able to beat us

I hate playing Bolton at the Reebok. Lets get our toughest *******s out on the pitch and get ready to fight!!

I'd swap alonso for lucas, aurelio for arbeloa. And thats our first choice right now, looking at who benitez has been selecting of late.

More 4-2-3-1 though.

Agree with all that except I'd have Arbeloa in instead of Finnan

Gerrard right side or central attacking midfield?

I like the way Kuyt has been further up the pitch of late - popping up in the box and actually making the opposition worry about him so I would put Gerrard right hand side.

The Alonso/Lucas thing is difficult I think the spot is the young Brazilians until either he ****s up or Xabi has a top game from the bench. I think Alonso is ultimately still the better player currently but his form has been poor this season and he needs to earn a first team position.

i reckon that the trick against bolton is to win the midfield battle first. They are likely to crowd the middle of the park and hope to keep it as tight as possible and try to grab maybe a 0-0 draw or else maybe sneak a goal. I think that we can afford to let our full backs bomb forward at every opportunity in support...

i dont think that this will be the team but i think that a team of:

-----------------------------------REINA............................................. .

FINNAN---------CARRAGHER-----------------AGGER----------------AURELIO

--------------LUCAS-------ALONSO------MASCHERANO---------------------


GERRARD-------------------------------------------------------------BABEL

-----------------------------TORRES´-------------------------------------



could do the trick.....

but you've picked 5 defenders and a deep lying midfielder

[Parr_Zee]

-----------Reina--------------
-Finnan--Carra--Hyypia--Riise-
----Mascherano--Alonso------
--Kuyt-----Gerrard-----Babel-
------------Torres-----------

Rafa always plays Sami against Bolton because of the aerial threat that they pose, and for that same reason, I think Riise will play as well!!

I can see Lucas being rested as this is the type of game that won't suit him at the moment.

At most we might see Arbeloa instead of Finnan who is not great in the air either anyway. Although Xabi played a full ressie game in midweek.

[DannyMan2006]

Play 4-4-2.

Rafa always tries 4-5-1 away to Blton and as yet we have failed t win, maybe down to bad luck, but still, we need to win so let's go for it.
