So the next league game is upon us. We need to get a result and keep the return to form going. I think it'll be a tough test. Megson seems to have got the bite back into the Bolton team again. Was great to see them beat ManUre last time round, but we should come through this with the 3 points. Lets hope the team selection is a good one... I can't help but get scary images of Sissoko in the midfield for this one. Surely Kewell will start, and maybe Riise will be given a run too. Does anyone know if Gutherie is available for this match? or am I right in thinking he cant play against his own club? Great to see him getting on really well there. Some good Premiership experience for the lad. Also, does anyone know if its on TV?
Thankfully Danny Guthrie cannot play, I have been impressed by what I have seen of him so its good news! Will Rafa start Torres? He has played 90 minutes now twice in the space of 5 days, we dont have a game next week so I wouldnt rest him. My team would be - Reina Finnan Carra Agger (if fit) Aurelio Benayoun Gerrard Lucas Kewell Torres Crouch We need some good deliveries from Aurelio for Crouchie, he has a wonderful left foot and should be maximised when Crouch is playing.
Nolan and Hunt are also suspended for Bolton, they will be a big loss. Worryingly for us, with Man United only 2 games away, Carragher is only 1 yellow card away from suspension.
It's on TV ok but if you know a place with any of these http://liveonsat.com/foot_epl_only....t_yyyy=2007&end_dd=29&end_mm=12&end_yyyy=2007
Nolan and Hunt will be a big loss for them it's a pity though that diouf and Anelka(who I'd love to see come in for Voronin) were rested on Thurs. Anybody know if the Tram have got it.
A win here puts us ahead of the Mancs and with Arsenal having a tough away game to an in-form Villa, hopefully a good weekend ahead
tough game. I expect a crouch and kuyt partnership and maybe momo in midfield if we can accommodate his passing, he tackled well against newcastle but his distribution wasn't great.
another tough game bolton playing well and anelka is always a danger i wonder if agger is fit and if so will rafa play him nothing against sami he has been playing well torres and crouch up front for me but dont think it will happen the two of those like to stay high up the pitch and rafa seems to like one of his front 2 to track back so id say it will be kuyt and torres a must win but evert game is if we want a chance of a championship in may
really hope Agger's fit for this one,if not for the Reading Game at least.the sooner the better.he's vitally important for the Marseille Game(i fear the worst if Sami is Playing that Night...)so would like to see him have at least 1 Game under his Belt before that. it'll be a big Psychological boost if they can turn this lot over,especially after them beating the Mancs last Week.
Steve Bennett is the ref on sunday. This is his first Liverpool game of the season. He has refereed a visit of Bolton to Anfield once before. Liverpool ran out 1-0 winners thanks to an Igor Biscan last minute header in April 2005. One thing you must expect though is a card of one colour being shown by Bennett, his last Premiership match without a caution or dismissal was way back in November 2004 - over 70 games ago. He has also gone five successive seasons reaching over 100 cautions in each season. Id settle for a same result as when igor headed in that winner, never seen the ball in the air at anfield as much as that day!!!!
after a great and determined win on wed, hope rafa dosnt return to his rotation ways. never thought voronin shud have started. he just isnt gud enough to be playing for the pool. i have a sneaking suspicion that he will rest torres to play his other strikers and the amount of minutes crouch is getting at the moment, i just hope he starts on sunday. i have no hope when i see kuyt and voronin in the starting eleven. all that means is loads of chances and very few, if any goals. id love to see rafa play crouch and torres in a big game. agger and alonso are still out so hopefully keep the same back four and Big H harry kewell and beni (still not convinced but no1 else) on the wings with gerrard and monstermash in the middle. if we play to our strengths and supply torres with quality ball, theres no excuses except for a comfortable victory. go on the pool!
