FA Cup: v Bolton (H): Post Match Thread

[Muddled]

Fill your boots.

Need to buy a striker.....sell borini balotelli and lambert

[Chris]

Annoying, 2 or 3 to us would have been fairer. Though its only Bolton at home at least we are still in the hat after the mentalness of today!! We defended well, they had what 2 half chances in the whole game, not bad.

Kevin Friend is utter scum, bent cunt.

This playing with no striker has to stop imo

[Muddled]

Neil Lennon has stamped his negative, thuggish, time wasting tactics learnt from Martin O'Neil already, so kudos for that.

I would echo Chris' comments about Kevin Friend.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Coutinho and Sterling were frustrating when it mattered.

Lallana was really poor.

Markovic was good when he came on.

Ref was ****.

Allen played.. I'm told.

Can't add anything to this.

Brendan defo needs to buy a quality striker.

[G]

I ****ing hate Kevin Friend, he's surpassed my Lee Mason levels of hatred today. Always knew he hated us and never even tries to hide it.

Still we should be finishing better than we did today. And we still won't buy a striker. Hanging our entire season on Sturridge staying fit.

[Chazza]

Guilty of overplaying around the box but we did have some good chances and Bogdan made some good saves.

We cannot play that system with defensive minded wingbacks. Enrique and Manquillo offered nothing.

They will need to come at us in the replay which will help and leave more space in behind and on the counter.

Should still go through relatively comfortably.

the balotelli thing needs bringing up as to what the **** is going on might as well let the ****er go and bring in someone who you are at least gonna give minutes to

Media having a field day as we add to the 'shock results' by being held at home to 15th in the Championship

[Red_Polo]

Fill your boots.

At least somebody should I suppose

So we're not very good at finishing. Not a huge surprise. We need Sturridge back, we need a new forward who is an accomplished finisher, but until then we also need to be a bit smarter in how we approach our attacks. We went at them just as they were set up to defend against in the final stages.

We'd even be better off swapping him for Sepp Blatter

That was pretty frustrating. The referee was terrible, but we should have had more than enough over 90 minutes to win.

A few of the usual suspects come in and the pace of our game drops right off again. We also saw once again how important Lucas is to our current run of form. He's the only one who makes passes quick'y through midfield.
