Bolton post match

[Fredo]

Painful to see Kenny failing though. I'd love him to bring back the good times again but if Rafa gets a job I don't know who we could turn to. We're still in both cups and if we're out of them all by next week Kenny will be under extreme pressure.

[Mostar]

It is clear that we live and die with Suarez. We are nothing better than average without him.

Only world class player that makes things happen.

Without him we don't even create enough chances anymore.

[red g]

I'm on the Rafa bandwagon too.

Sorry Kenny.

I can remember plenty of threads similar to this under Rafa too though.

Got to keep the faith, but its wearing thin. We are without our 2 best players by a country mile over the last year, coupled with the fact of horrendous signings in Downing and caroll, while Enrique and Henderson look solid but certainly not spectacular.

fsg have prior. at the red sox, they sacked their first manager after a year and then went on to win it all. i do still trust the owners. and we all wanted kenny in after what he did as caretaker. we were flying then.

[S-RED]

inept play, we were woeful; Agger was obviously not fit & it affected the back 4. That said shocking tactically by KK & Clarke, we haven't got a clue ,when we are poor we are poor. Agent clarke s doing a god a job as agent Torres...........

What worries me more is the fact that the bench had 3 defenders on it, poor descision as they was no plan B from the bench. I'm not being funny, but with a bench of 7 we should have a couple of young attacking ressies on it; Downing & Kuyt weren't going to change it today, they haven't all season, so why would they today. Give a couple of kids 20mins instead. Just look down the east lancs & see what the drunken soak does with his kids (welbeck, Cleverly, Etc) when will we learn???

[Phoenix07]

You really think our owners are going to go for ANOTHER former manager?

No ****ing chance.

People also forget that Ian Ayre is MD, one of the board members who voted for Rafa to be sacked.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Lack of any creativity, formation doesn't work and to be honest I wouldn't pay to watch that.. Embarrassing! From back to front.

[Assassin]

I felt like I was watching another game with Woy in charge. A truly abysmal performance. Its ****ing shameful!!!

[Danish_Pastry]

Amazing, how the match against Man.City and Man.Utd. went so well - and we even had to settle with a draw then. Today our midfield had no contact to the defence, so Skrtl and Agger had to move into the midfield. Midfield were only passing - not moving - and any move made passing impossible, as only the technical difficult passes were made. Gosh I miss the simple-passing of Lucas or even better of Alonso.

But - by the way - how come Gerrard was ajudged to have pushed the Bolton player in the 80th minute straight outside the Bolton Pen-area, when he clearly was down, and the other ran off with the ball (after the best Downing pass of the game)?

Nearly cried watching that!

Sorry Kenny.

I'm not sure that change of manager would do any good atm.

Kenny deserves some criticism but the squad is not good enough to compete atm.

We have more depth than the last year but less quality.

Not sure that Rafa could do much better with the players we have and yes it is Kenny's fault as he picked himself but I am not in favor of the manager's change just yet.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

People also forget that Ian Ayre is MD, one of the board members who voted for Rafa to be sacked.

From the start, I've not really liked Ayre, something about him.. Nothing to do with thus but still.

We have made ordinary teams look wonderful this season, every team in the ****s must think thank **** its Liverpool, we got very lucky against City .. if We had of conceeded in that last 30 minutes with 7 defenders on the park Kenny would have been murdered ...

I am sorry but that performance hurt .. no tactical play at all, players looks bereft of confidence, we have managed to turn Downing from Player of the Year into Donkey of the year and why or ****ing why do we always play great players out of position and kill there confidence ...

AGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[el matador]

its time to bring back rafa.

Then he sold/loaned good players and replaced them with British Beef.
