Bolton Match thread

Recommended Posts

Maybe too early but I like this match threads and I want to forget Wolves game as soon as possible ( even I didn´t see it)

 

I would play :

 

----------------Reina---------------------

Carra------- Skrtel ---------Kyrgiakos --------Aurelio/Insua

 

--Maxi/Degen----- Mascherano----- Riera

--------------Gerrard------Aquilani

-----------------Kuyt

 

Debatable points:

 

1. I would not break the Skrtel/Kyrgiakos partnership. As much as it hurts we have to admit that this CB pairing is the best what we´ve seen this season from our CBs.

 

2. I would start Aurelio if fit over Insua. Bolton have just loaned Vladi Weiss from ManCity who is a real gem and if plays RW he could literally kill Insua

 

3. I did not see Wolves game so I don´t know how Maxi played but at home I would prefer him against Degen

 

4. Lucas will not be dropped

You mean?

 

---------------------Reina-------------------------------

 

Carra---------Skrtel---------Kyrgiakos-------Aurelio/Insua

 

--------------------Mascherano--------------------------

 

--------------Gerrard----------Aquilani--------------------

 

Maxi/Degen------------------------------------------Riera

 

-----------------------Kuyt-------------------------------

 

 

 

Too early for this but what the heck:

 

------------Reina----------

 

Carra---Skrtel-----Kyrgiakos----Insua

 

Maxi----Gerrard---Mascherano---Riera

 

--------Kuyt------N'gog-------------

 

Scrappy 1 or 2-0 win and everything will be "fine" again.

----------------------------Reina----------------------------------

 

Carragher--------Skrtel-----------------The Greek-----------Aurelio

 

---------------Mascherano--------------Gerrard--------------------

 

Maxi--------------------------Aquilani-----------------------Riera

 

--------------------------------Ngog------------------------------

 

 

Play the ball on the deck and not in the air and we win the game.

 

However I suspect Kuyt and Lucas will play, the defense will go direct to Kuyt upfront and it will play to Bolton's strengths.

Fitness permitting, I would go :

 

Pepe

 

Carra--------------------------- the Greek--------------------Skrtel/Agger if he's fit

---------------------Mascherano--------------Gerrard

 

Maxi------------------------------Aquilani---------------------------------------Riera

------------------------------Dirk--------------------Ngog

 

Also Rafa, because we're boys, I'll let you have Lucas in place of Gerrard if there are big enough concerns about his fitness - just this once though.

 

An aside but we haven't lost a league game since that tag made its debut.

Hopefully we can sign Jason Roberts before Saturday then we'll have a big man to boot the ball up to for 90 minutes. If we can't I suggest playing no forwards whatsoever. Don't even put N'gog on the bench. Just set out to hoof the ball up to their Gk/CBs. This worked against Wolves and will ensure that we do not get beaten.

Owen Coyle has Bolton playing better football now. We should still twat them so no excuses. But we all know it won't be a walk in the park the way we set up and play at the moment.

Carragher------Skrtel------Kyrgiakos------Insua

 

Degen---Mascherano--Lucas--Spearing---Aurelio

 

-------------------Ngog---------------------

 

 

Can't be too careful against a tricky side like Bolton. We start the game with a point, better make sure we don't lose that before getting all excited and going for three.

 

If it's 0-0 after 75 minutes, I'd probably bring Ayala on for Ngog and shut up shop.

I would swap N'gog for Darby. Have him patrolling the right hand side allowing Degen to bomb backwards and carra to tuck into the middle

There`s no way I`d have Carragher at right back. He was awful last night and got ripped with ease by whatever his name was. No-one should be untouchable. Play him centre half or dont play him at all.

 

Reina

 

Degen skrtle kyrkiagos aurelio

 

Mascherano

 

Maxi Aquilani Riera

 

Gerrard

 

Kuyt

I like the way you think. We start every season with 38 points, it would be careless to lose any of them.

 

 

attacking mentality

 

 

thats all i want to see.

 

Well I can pretty much guarantee the second one.
