Bolton v Liverpool, mypost free version

[llego]

Sunday October 31st, 16:00 GMT at the Reebok

 

Expect the same starting 11 as last week with the possibility of Johnson though that might entail the truly horrifying prospect of dropping our best attacker:

 

 

P.S. Please note the complete lack of AGENDAs in this post.

It's a tad stupid he's called 'mypost' cos you couldn't mistake him out of the thousands on here. He's the one who is pro Hodgson and uses reasoning such as Roy blinked 448 times during the 90 minutes and Rafa's average was only 440 therefore Roy is the better manager, ignore Roys stupid LFC degrading comments and the relegation battle, the blink rate trumps all other arguments on the matter.

There's a paying version?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Haha, I was there thinking 'Carra!?' before realising you're talking about the Greek, which is perhaps even more depressing. He is fucking good in the air, though.

 

I think it has to be the same starting eleven from last week. I actually thinking Johnson might be on the bench for this one. I don't think Roy will want to put Carra and the Greek in CB together because even if you combined their top speeds they still wouldn't be as fast as a Segway. I don't think he'll outright drop Carra from the starting eleven and I don't think he'll want to drop Kyrg either because of a) Kevin Davies and b) the threat he poses from set-pieces.

 

We desperately need to approach this game with a positive attitude and play as though we're at Anfield. If we go out there and play the sort of bollocks that's been a hallmark of Hodgson's reign (Blackburn excluded) and draw/get a loss, and then go on to lose against Chelsea, I think his time will be up.

That's my main concern, I don't think he will send the team out with the same approach, I think he'll send them out with a view of not getting beat and maybe, hopefully nicking a goal to scrap a victory.. I hope I'm proved wrong and maybe he's gone 22 league away games without a win because his teams are gung-ho and full of attacking flair hence leaving gaps at the back for the home side to exploit.

 

As someone pointed out in another thread... the next FOUR out of six games are away from home.

[Best Believe It]

Presuming Agger is injured and Aurelio still not fully fit, it should be:

 

Reina

Kelly/Carra Soto Skrtel Konchesky

Lucas Meireles

Maxi Gerrard Cole

Torres

 

I'd gravitate to putting Kelly in at right back but I can't bring myself to drop Carragher. Tough one. Not for Roy, he'll play Carragher.

Same starting 11, same mentality and same result please.

[ngogswilly]

Same starting 11, same mentality and same result please.

 

Same tactics also. i.e Don't park ourselves around our own box and hoof it into oblivion

Would be nice to think we'd build on last weekend but theres a reason this man has gone 22 premier league away games without a win so im expecting a narrow defeat.

I reckon a 1-1 or a 0-0... at best.

[PaulMcC]

If we press them all over the pitch like we did against Blackburn, i think we'll win.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Who will definately miss the game with an injury?

[aws]

I'd play the same team except Johnson for Maxi.

 

But I've got a feeling Poulsen will play.

Maxi was a MOM contender last week...

Johnson on for Maxi if it's not going our way and we are searching for the winner....

I think Maxi is a good player - especially for games at Anfield when we're dominant. He's not looked at all convincing in away games though.

True- he's dependent on good movement and passing around him.

 

Johnson on for Maxi if it's not going our way and we are searching for the winner....

 

This is a good idea. Johnson, poor form and all, is still more likely to come up with a matchwinning moment.

I think that's cos we've not been playing any passing football away from home.

[a stoner]

I think Bolton will push us and we will, predictably, end up parked in our own half with Torres looking as fucked off as ever up front on his own.

0-0 but I'm expecting 1-0 to bolton.

[aws]

That's a fair point. Do you expect us do that on Sunday?

[PaulMcC]

I don't expect it but i hope we keep up the way we tried to play against Blackburn. It was different to the way we've played in every game this season, though.

[gkmacca]

I'm all for player power in these circumstances. I hope the players listen to Roy's team talk, say 'Er, thanks for that, Roy, we'll bear it in mind,' then go out and play properly.

Heading to this so I want a win, Johnson on for maxi from last week that's all I'd change.
