Bolton match thread

- just thought the same!!
I want us to be (become) a team that includes players like Aurelio and Agger without hesitation

Only once we get rid of the Bodge and employ an actual manager.

[Exiled_red]

What do people think about how deep/high we've played, and pressing?

Two major issues under Bodger - has today been better in those respects?

I noticed that and we are playing better stuff than we have done for a while, but I have no confidence that Roy will stick with it. It's been obvious we've been lacking it all season but it's only been in a couple of games we've done it

Owen Coyle sat on the bench wearing footy shorts and training top, does he think he'll get a game or something???

He played in a friendly and scored earlier in the season.

Maxi goes close, then Gerrard with the follow up, but saved. Looked a handball to me, should've had a peno.

Wouldn't say much better Craig.....bit of a response since the 2nd half started a goal down, so well see if it continues for the remainder, or will Roy be happy with the point.
Thought the first half was the usual dog**** from all.

You're right. I think 2nd half, we've had a lot of the ball, so our defensive line and pressing levels havent been too evident.

No good!!! Decent pressing at times. No style of play, just hoof and pray. Really worried...

Stevie is running the show for us now. Very much a captain's display, even if Pepe's wearing the armband.

[SimonNo7]

Was that handball in that last attack by us. He moved towards the ball with the top of his arm.

[McDermotX]

Yep...there's another goal coming here before too long

[Craig_H]

Nice play from N'Gog there, slide a lovely ball into Nando, tight angle, shot blocked. Breaks to N'Gog, shot blocked, then Gerrard skies it.

We're in control now, much better.

[Yozza]

we've shown more urgency in the last 2 mins than we did all of wednesday night...

[gaz01]

What the hell is Torres on, he may not be getting good service but his touch is f**king woeful and every single time he gets the ball he gives it away. you my have the ability nando but at the moment you're just ****

well i guess as soon as i said that he would knock in a blinder, should have seen that coming. on a side note i definitely won't be winning the lotto next week

[SimonNo7]

Another good chance for us.

[Craig_H]

****ing brilliant energy and workrate there from Kuyt, wins the ball back and then gets a throw for us.

[McDermotX]

Enjoying Kuyt's display much more today......lot of hustle, which has been sadly missing lately

[Craig_H]

Coyle finally decides to use one of his 4 subs. Rodrigo off, Klasnic on.

The hapless Alonso still on.
