Match Thread - Bolton (a)

[JohnDoe]

First game of the season I don't feel we'll win.

Maybe it's a good thing.

Yossi's not in the team because his name isn't Gerrard, Torres or Kuyt.

If Riera gets picked, he's always going to be on the bench unless those three are injured or Rafa loses faith in Lucas.

I wish players were picked on Form not Faith.

Only 2 attacking subs ?. very negative im afraid to say

Thats what i thought when i read the team....not sure we can play the 4-2-3-1 with Lucas in the middle.

Why not play a 4-4-2 with the crow and nando up top and stevie back in the middle?

we'll win. the greek will have a pivitol part to play, either for or against us. a cloud of grey will bring downpours onto the minds of one team. that'll be 3 pieces of gold please.

Its just hur-uff ball at the moment

[Baracus]

Nice, from Reina, Lucas misses an opportunity from a cross. Bolton pressing hard up the pitch, a sign of times to come from the rest of the prem teams

[JohnDoe]

Bolton are learning from Villa and Spurs. Pressing Lucas and Mascherano every time they have the ball.

[Baracus]

Lucas just missed a hard-ish chance from a low fizzing riera ball into the edge of the box. Johnson collects the ball turns inside and fires wide form the otherside

[Baracus]

Inter-change of passes has been good imo so far. Bolton won't be able to keep the pressing game up all game

That's all well and good but Liverpool had chances in both games. Also good to note that no team has scored from open play against us yet either.

What's everyone watching on? I'm listening to Five Live at the moment
