Post Match: Liverpool vs Bolton 27-8-11

[Fredo]

We were very good. A couple of points though.

- Charlie Adam has got fantastic ability BUT he seems to fade away second half. Great buy though.
- Carroll should, at the point in time, be a substitute until he learns how to pass and move like Dirk and Suarez.

Kenny is doing wonders at the moment, may this continue.

Great performance AGAIN from the lads.

[BobTheCharmer]

Thank you Kenny! Rafa who?? this is what i'm talking about, attacking football, no negativity in the play whatsoever, players have smiles on their faces, they have freedom to move. for any fan under 30 wondering what Kenny brings to the table, that was just a sample my friends..........a mere sample of whats to come. **** the last 20 years.......we're on the march

ffs , who ****ed up at the end? Carra?
i predicted a 3-0 win .

[Mostar]

Some great performances Suarez, Lucas and Henderson were outstanding. I also thought Downing, Enrique, Kuyt and Adam were excellent too. Skrtel did well at right back, although losing Kelly was a blow.

It was good to have Henderson and Adam getting their first goals for us.

The only player I was disappointed in was Carroll, he didn't really get into the game. Some great balls came into the box but he wasn't on his toes and attacking the ball, otherwise he could have got in on the act.

I think Kuyt and Suarez should now have established themselves as our prefered front two. The offer alot of movement that Carroll doesn't and we play a better style of football with them playing together.

The fact that he doesn't score doesn't bother me but he looks so disinterested out there. He had chance to score at least 2,3 in those 15 minutes he played if he only got himself faster in 6 yard area.

His work rate is disappointing.

We need to be carrying it forward and crossing it more if Carroll is to be successful, at the moment that's not happening as we're more about quick interplay through and around teams.

I thought all of our new signings played fantastically well and for me Skrtl was a beast at right back!

[BrooklynRed]

I don't care what any of you say, call me a cunt, tell me to **** off, facts are facts, we are a better team without Carroll in the side. It is not slating him to say so; I like Andy Carroll and believe he is a great sub to come off the bench and change the style and pace of the game, but with Dirk and Luis we are ****ing buzzing, same as at the end of last season. I will not slate Carroll-- he is our player and I think he has a lot to say this season-- but look at the first 70 minutes today, look at the last 30 against Arsenal, etc etc. Plain as day. Carroll's price tage is not my problem... we're better with him on the bench.

**** off you cunt..!

[Bender]

Lack of desire... You're basing that on 14 minutes today? Grow up and be happy with a great win and performance.

don't tell me what to do ok ..carrolls performance was discussed last week in the cup game as well and i am not the only one to comment on carrolls performance

We've been doing this in abundance today.

Anyway, to be fair to him he has played only 15 minutes today. Still, for those passes & crosses to come to him, he needs to offer better movement. He does seem to lack confidence at the moment.

Likewise, but unlike you I will take the team result over being completely correct in the prediction game

You need to wise up and get a life, rather than dumbing yourself out with Marky type comments

[cream]

We are ****ing buzzing. **** yeah

[Chris]

That was a bit special. Henderson is ****ing ****e.

Like I say he was only on for 15-20 mins but there were some great balls into the box that he should have attacked but didn't There was one great cross from the left (not sure if it was Downing or Enrique) it was crying out for him to throw himself at it and he'd have had a goal, but he just stood there and didn't anticipate it, which is disappointing and a little worrying.
