Bolton v Liverpool Post Match Thread

[Craig_H]

That is a flawed theory. On that basis what is Albert Riera doing in the side?? He has only scored one and hasn't provided many assists so his record does not stand up to Dirk's - however ask any Liverpool fan and they are generally delighted with Albert's contribution.

IMO Dirk along with Xabi has probably been Liverpool's best player this season and long may it continue!!!

I can sum up the Riera thing with one word: threat.

And i think you misunderstood my point. What i said was that goals make up for other stuff that may be lacking - eg, poor touch, giving the ball away etc.

Riera's touch is good and he keeps the ball superbly. If his touch was ****e and he lost the ball, but had 8 goals so far this season, the negative stuff becomes secondary because he's making a crucial tangible contribution on the scoresheet.

In short, goals can make up for being poor in other areas, but a lack of goals doesnt undo being good in other areas.

[rage]

maybe we should sell him whilst he's playing well. after all we're bound to make a profit and then he'll have been the same success that bellamy was. u know where we measure success by how much money we made on a player.

ok i'm joking but i just think he's hit a vein of form and his confidence is sky high and before anyone starts long may it continue
