Well deserved lead. Pinging it around nicely. Fully in control. I just shit myself still when we havent got that 2nd goal cushion. Need an early goal. Gutted for Kelly. Hopefully Lucas is okay aswell.

we need a second. we have had good chances, dont want a sunderland all over again. what changed in the last 15mins? we seemed to have lost abit of sharpeness.

RedGuy · « **Reply #602 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:20:48 pm »

Ref is absolute shit.

I wonder how many tackles Lucas made, he seems to manage to take every ball off of every Bolton player. Henderson is having a great game as well, awesome goal.

felix. · « **Reply #603 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:20:49 pm »

chuffed for henderson!

otherwise that sub totally messed up our rhythm, not too sure about skrtel at fullback. hope lucas is ok also.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if we can keep up our standard of play in the second half.

The most encouraging thing for me is how solid we've been defensively. Lucas is largely to thank for it, I think.

I thought he's done well.

Agreed. As much as I would have liked him to be wrong about the handball he was spot on. He's not put a foot wrong yet. refreshing to see a good ref for a change.

Happy with our performance just wish we would finish our chances. could be 3 or 4 up by now. but very happy with our controlling of the game.

Visigoth33 · « **Reply #607 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:07 pm »

Very good first half but we need to be more clinical & finish better.hopefully Lucas is ok

iRed · « **Reply #608 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:08 pm »

First 25 minutes were incredible. Suarez is dominating.

The team moves so much better without Carroll, sad to say.

Juan Loco · « **Reply #609 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:10 pm »

Should be buzzing... but Sunderland is still fresh in my mind... And Skrtel is playing right back. }

Playing really, really well til Kelly went off, and pretty well afterward. Need to get the two goal advantage, and preferably, Carra at right back.

Don't see what JoyHendo offers.

Ski · « **Reply #611 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:11 pm »

We've been so on top. Really hope we don't regret not putting this one to bed already. Could easily be 4 up at the break. Hope we kill it off early in the 2nd. Some of the passing and movement has been wonderful to watch. Luis the obvious stand out but also think Lucas has been superb!

Dowling10 · « **Reply #612 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:21 pm »

Is it just me or have they mentioned Bolton's shite record at Anfield and against us about 100 times?

It's like their setting us up to get knocked down. Anyway, boss first half. Lucas, Henderson, Downing and Suarez been great. Looking forward to the second half, could do with another goal to settle my nerves.

Bob Loblaw · « **Reply #613 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:26 pm »

Haven't been as convincing as i'd like since going one up.

Hopefully a nice quick second goal to settle the nerves.

Ref is giving every single 50-50 decision to Bolton and it's fucking me off. Great half though, need to make sure we don't do what we did vs Sunderland. Henderson, Lucas, Suarez fucking boss.

He's really not, he's been excelllent this ref to be honest. Got everything right

-RedTilDead- · « **Reply #615 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:43 pm »

Entertaining first half, some good stuff from us. Everyone playing well. Kuyt, Suarez, Downing and Henderson all involved in the goal and look like they are enjoying playing together. Bolton look inferior for the most part, hope it continues.

Referee has got most things right but I'm not sure about the handball freekick/penalty as he had one foot in the box and one foot out, anyone know the rule?

PIPA23 · « **Reply #616 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:45 pm »

kuddos to whole team in first half...bad we got Kelly injured though... hope we take the 3 points

Good half spoiled by piss poor reffing.

Probert is a massive twat.

Wrong man. ref is class today. got everything right. can't ask for more

Wembley 78 · « **Reply #618 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:50 pm »

The same shite reason why we didn't win the title 3 seasons ago - don't kill the game off.

Baz Smythe · « **Reply #619 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:52 pm »

We plated amazing until Kelly went off then that's just turned the game a bit flat. Hopefully we'll be revitalized when we come back out.

zERo · « **Reply #620 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:54 pm »

should have sealed it by now, especially the suarez chance

Seebab · « **Reply #621 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:57 pm »

It's such an enjoyment to watch as well. Our football style is so beautiful.

Lets hope it's not a dejavu of the Sunderland game

CMON!

Pepe Silvia · « **Reply #623 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:21:59 pm »

Should be at least 2 goals up. Feels like a mirror image to Sunderland game so far. Excellent start first 15 minutes, players buzzing, creates lots of opportunities (if anything clearer ones than first game) then after Suarez is put clean thru players look deflated/nervous and stop moving. Really need that early goal in the second half to calm the nerves.

Ref is a joke.

He really isn't (at least not in the first half).

- Foul on suarez early in first half. Suarez went to ground over the guy.
- Foul on Adam midway. Adam dived over the guy.
- Handball. Was outside the box, just. Replays showed it.
- Goal kick that was given when someone (forgot) who dived in on Enrique. Guy got the ball and knocked it onto Enrique.

Those are the 'controversial' ones I've seen and I rarely say this but this ref has been absolutely fantastic so far. Hope it continues.

DanA · « **Reply #627 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:16 pm »

Kuyt''s movement fantastic. Linking up brilliantly

clapton · « **Reply #628 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:28 pm »

A second goal would have been so sweet. Realy great performance but Bolton can score on any set piece so we have to get that second goal asap! Keep on going lads.

JIM FIXX · « **Reply #629 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:30 pm »

Thought we were pretty dominant, should be leading by more than 1 goal. Which along with the ref has me worried.

That goal seems to of lifted a weight off Henderson, he's looking good.

olllie · « **Reply #630 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:30 pm »

Hate to say it, but this is a product of not having our static #9 in the team. We now play quicker, move the ball along the floor and have more fluid movement. Lucas, Henderson, Suarez & Downing SHINING today. Great performance, but we need to kill it off early in the second

Adem78 · « **Reply #631 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:31 pm »

Excellent first half!! Should of been out of sight by now and lost our way a little in the last ten mins. Gutted to see Kelly Injured, he and Johnson are two awesome right backs, we just cant keep them fit!!

Hope Lucas is Ok he was immense in the first half, aboslute class on the ball, tackling and blocking Davies off from in front of him for all arieal balls.

Just need to ensure the same intensity in the second half!!

GoodStuff · « **Reply #632 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:38 pm »

Need that second. Or else it could be another Sunderland.

Suarez brilliant again. The whole team doing well. Carroll for Kuyt would be nice. No threat from right back no more though, need Johnson back asap

JoeCole · « **Reply #633 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:38 pm »

Lucas is running the game in midfield, hopefully that injury is just cramp or something and he'll be back out for the second half.

If not, then I'd get Maxi on for him and play Henderson in the center.

MBL? · « **Reply #634 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:39 pm »

What happened to Lucas?

please, I have my reasons for it but... · « **Reply #635 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:42 pm »

English referees.......FAIL

Ultimate Bromance · « **Reply #636 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:44 pm »

Not clinical enough in front of goal, should be 2, possible 3 to the goods already. Don't think that was a pen either.

Dominated for the most part, made up to see Henderson with the R1 finesse shot, just a pity Suarez didn't give us the cushion of a 2nd.

Disappointed for Martin, just keeps having setbacks. Hope Lucas is alright, was bossing it in the first half, shutting down nearly every Bolton attack.

Really need a second to settle the nerves, seems like that Bolton defence is their for the taking, just need to finish off the chances.

trembles97 · « **Reply #637 on:** August 27, 2011, 06:22:48 pm »

Absolutely gutted about Kelly, was really hoping that he'd get a solid run of games, hopefully its nothing serious.

We need to get the ball to Downing more, he's so dangerous but we are rarely picking him out where he is getting the better of Steinsson every time.

Suarez looks amazing as always, and Adam looks like he is settling in well, he has cut down on his loose balls which came so often against Arsenal and Sunderland
