That's what i'd go for personally.

bolton will play the favoured formation of 11 men behind the ball.

Exactly!

We'll need some special event or an individual effort from Super Luis. Hope he plays!

So why put Warnock in at the back after Riise has restored some stability to that spot. And why drop Sissoko and put Gerrard in the middle, in all honesty thats no better than what I suggested, in that it's an experimental side. I'd prefer the one I suggested all day.

Looked strong and difficult to break down tonight (although chances were missed). How do you think we will find this game, bearing in mind it is at the Reebok? We often have a hard time getting the ball on the ground and playing our football when there are so many aresholes trying to knock heads off shoulders, but I think Kuyt should use this game to show just how physically capable he is. If he starts. that is..

How many fans do we have travelling? About 6,000? What about if they each 'donate' a fiver to the "Feed Craig Allardyce Appeal" - will that help?

I suggested dropping Momo because of the Ramadan as he's been looking tired at the end of the last few games - however i still think there's a little dam paranoia kicking about.

You have a point. Riise should not be shifted in midfield, so i reckon this will be close to the line up.

I reckon there's a very good chance that could be the starting lineup, but I have a feeling Pennant might start, with Gerrard on the left.
