This is interesting, our players average positions in the game.

Carroll playing deeper than Suarez. Carragher playing 10 yards deeper than Skrtel.

55 - Downing's corner is cleared. But only as far as Suarez who crosses it again and Wolves clear it. Game's been in Wolves' half for the past 5 minutes

56 - After some frantic defending and lucky touches we barely clear the ball after a Wolves striker got it down in the box. We're slaying them going forward but like an addict going cold turkey in defense.

Finn Solomon · « **Reply #83 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:14:23 pm »

Wolves nearly score again, terrific cross from Jarvis finds Doyle, whose shot is blocked by Carragher.

57 - Yellow card for Carroll after a stupid challenge. Could arguably have gotten a free kick for a handball, when he didn't slid into the young right back and deservedly got a yellow.

Finn Solomon · « **Reply #85 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:15:06 pm »

Carroll gets a yellow.

58 - That goal has given Wolves an injection of confidence and they have no fear going straight at us. We're barely holding them off at the moment and Reina has to come out of the box on his left and kick it into a throw. Worrying at the back, dangerous going forward.

How are we not 3/4 up at this point?!? Just never get the rub of the green!

Well I'd argue Adam's goal was very fortunate.

Someone shoot El Campeador a PM please, he's probably feeling lonely and sucking his thumb while rocking back and forth.

59 - Fletcher down and ball is out of play so he can recieve attention

Finn Solomon · « **Reply #89 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:18:12 pm »

Skrtel deserved to get sent off for that challenge on Fletcher, studs on the knee.

Shocking shocking defending, no-one picking up players in the box. Our defense is sooooo shakey these days. Horrific.

Bit late for this.

But yeah, it seems we have to keep the ball at all times as we look fragile at best in defense.

Just seen the replay. That was frankly very lucky amd Skrtel can thank his guardian angel there.

We're rocking on our heels here, Kenny needs to make a substitution now.

Aristotle · « **Reply #93 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:20:00 pm »

61 - It's all Wolves right now. We can't string together 2 consecutive passes and O'Hara's decision making lets us off the hook as he skies a shot into the stratmosphere

Finn Solomon · « **Reply #94 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:20:18 pm »

Bellers and Gerrard warming up on the touchline.

Aristotle · « **Reply #95 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:22:00 pm »

63 - Enrique, Downing and Adam do well to get the ball down the left as Enrique crosses as Carroll knocks it back to Henderson but his shot left a lot to be desired.

Aristotle · « **Reply #96 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:23:08 pm »

65 - Wolves get a corner down the left as Kelly lets Jarvis pounce on a loose ball. Having kept him well and firmly in his pocket, the tables have turned in the 2nd half

I would get them both on. We need some energy on the pitch right now and Bellamy´s movement, pace and hold up play should pin Wolves back a little.

Looking at our average position for the game, Carragher is now in the 18 yard box. We can´t hold our line right in front of Reina. Lucas´s heat map is also insane, he´s already covered every blade of grass several times.

No less than I'd expect from the RAWK player of the season. But yes, Kenny needs some fresh legs on the pitch right now.

Kelly gets a card. Side note, he really is rather handsome.

Aristotle · « **Reply #100 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:24:38 pm »

66 - Nice counter from Liverpool. Henderson finds Suarez who sets him up for the shot but he passes, badly to Carroll and it comes to nothing.

This game is aching for Henderson off for Bellamy/Kuyt

Finn Solomon · « **Reply #101 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:25:47 pm »

Huge clusterfuck in the box, we can't even clear a simple corner at the moment.

Aristotle · « **Reply #102 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:25:56 pm »

67 - Fucking chaos in the box after some final touch defending and a luck of the draw. We're stuck 10 players in our box for over a minute now

BabuYagu · « **Reply #103 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:27:03 pm »

Given that was Kelly´s first foul, it´s a harsh booking.

Lucas has 4 fouls for the game. Usually when you get to 5/6 you start seeing that second yellow. Needs to be careful but he seems completely over worked in there. I would worry about us facing Everton or Man U without him though!

Aristotle · « **Reply #104 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:27:10 pm »

69 - Reina miscalculates Jarvis's cross and if Berra had met that ball we'd be @ 2-2 right now.

Aristotle · « **Reply #105 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:27:45 pm »

70 - Brillant touch from Carroll who sets up Lucas but his shot is saved.

And no corner given

Henderson's cross finds Carroll, who knocks it back for Lucas. He tries for a placed shot but it curls past the left post.

Reina comfortably collects a cross in the box, and it's Kuyt on for Henderson, finally.

Aristotle · « **Reply #108 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:29:25 pm »

I hate to say it, but you'd have a hard time convincing me right now we were the bigger club playing at home. Fair credit to Wolves in the 2nd half, they've fought for every ball and gone into every challenge, not giving us an ounce of respect.

Aristotle · « **Reply #109 on:** September 24, 2011, 04:30:46 pm »

We can't catch a fucking break. We're so close to scoring it's unreal but there's always a Wolves player who gets a toe to the ball

Johnson stops Suarez from getting a clean shot at goal. The corner ricochets off Carroll's head, and he ends up in the stands.

Suarez collects the ball, dribbles around what looks like the entire Wolves defence and finds Carroll in front of AN OPEN GOAL but a Wolves defender gets a toe to the ball before he pulls the trigger.

Downing elects to make sharp drilled cross to Suarez at the near post instead of Carroll at the far post, but his header is off target.

In fairness to Carroll it looked like it was deflected away from him by the defender. Still think he´s been up there for man of the match IMO.

$5 to the first person to see Lucas standing still on the pitch. Doesnt Stop Running!!!!

Just need that little bit of luck and skill, its always that last ditch defense or the bar saving wolves!!

Argh!!

It's amzzing isn't it? It's a bounce over the foot, toe to the ball when it lands and everything under the stars. The worst part is that it's something we're so used to it's almost like an unlucky curse.

Gerrard taping his socks. So either he's had an unexpected drop in income or he's holding his shinpads in place.

Suarez's long ball to Kuyt on the right is cut out, but Wolves' ball to Hunt is flagged offside.

Too many of our player's go missing when under pressure. Henderson, Downing and Adam because of his lack of pace. Henderson really has been poor.

It might just be a fitness thing. I can´t imagine they work as hard in training at Blackpool, Sunderland and Villa. It can´t be a coincidence for example that Downing always looks destroyed on about 60 minutes. Then again that is exactly the reason Rafa used to always take off our LM on 60 minutes. Fast passing and high Pressing wears out your wingers. Unless you are Dirk Kuyt

Fletcher's snap shot is deflected and gathered up by Reina. Suarez holds up the ball, gives it to Kuyt whose shot is comfortably saved.

Grab yer box of Kleenex, bottle of handlotion and lock the door. It's Gerrard time!
