58 Good link up play from us leads to a poor Gerrard cross and a corner.

Can someone drop me a PM if the score changes?

I'm off to write a scathing summary for the post-match thread and I simply can't be disrupted whilst I'm looking up "abysmal" in my thesaurus.

Cheers.

Are you Ollie Holt?

59 Bogdan collects Gerrard's corner. Our subs warming up.

El Campeador · « **Reply #123 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:50:05 pm »

Corner by Gerrard comes to nothing. At least it beat the first man.

El Campeador · « **Reply #124 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:51:03 pm »

60' Corner to Bolton. Petrov takes. Cleared, but another corner conceded. They're all over us.

Corkboy · « **Reply #125 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:51:31 pm »

60 Good Bolton play and a fine cross which Johnson turns behind. Corner from Petrov is cleared but back out for another corner.

Eagles has decided not to torment Enrique any more and is now finding acres of space wherever he wants. Oh no, he's back at Enrique again and wins a free. Yellow for Enrique.

One of the bigger questions for me today: why is Hendo doing Johnson's job? Glen seems absolutely nowhere to be found.

I think the question is why are we struggling to do the basics so much.

El Campeador · « **Reply #128 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:53:46 pm »

62' Promising attack down our right with Gerrard and Hendo comes to nothing. On the counter, Eagles is fouled, takes the free kick into our box, comes to nothing. Adam tears through yet another Bolton player.

Kuyt and Downing to come on.

Corkboy · « **Reply #129 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:53:50 pm »

Adam with an utterly stupid foul on Reo Coker in their half.

Corkboy · « **Reply #130 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:54:29 pm »

Kuyt and Downing for Adam and Maxi.

SMD · « **Reply #131 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:54:43 pm »

Maxi and Adam off, Dirk and Downing on.

Can't argue against that.

El Campeador · « **Reply #132 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:54:52 pm »

Kuyt for Maxi. Downing for Adam.

Who is gonna play in CM? Hendo and Gerrard?

Corkboy · « **Reply #133 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:55:49 pm »

Looks like Downing left, Kuyt right and Henderson moves into the middle.

El Campeador · « **Reply #134 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:56:34 pm »

65' Goal kick Reina. We're attacking up the left with Enrique, Downing and Bellamy. Comes to nothing after 3 touches. Throw in Bolton. Liverpool recover, Bellamy tears down the left, crosses, and wins a corner. Takes it himself. Carroll misses the target.

To be honest, anyone in the middle would be an improvement.

Corkboy · « **Reply #136 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:57:47 pm »

Bellamy had a little run there and Gerrard, Kuyt and Carroll were all in the box. Bellamy found none of them but still.

Kenny spot on with the changes, Adam has been woeful and Maxi has been playing volleyball instead of football. Would have liked to see Shelvey come on though.

Only problem with that is Shelvey plays the same game as Gerrard.

El Campeador · « **Reply #138 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:58:02 pm »

We have started hoofing.

El Campeador · « **Reply #139 on:** January 21, 2012, 06:58:39 pm »

68' Goal attempt Carroll, misses high and wide.

El Campeador · « **Reply #140 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:01:04 pm »

69' Game of table tennis really. Eagles misses the target, Reina to take goal kick. We go up the middle this time. WHAT A HIT BY AGGER. Broke the fucking bar from 30 yards.

SMD · « **Reply #141 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:01:12 pm »

Agger strides out, smacks it from 25 yards and it clips the top of the bar.

Corkboy · « **Reply #142 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:01:19 pm »

Lovely little cameo there. Henderson was going to head a ball, obviously got a shout from Johnson behind him as he didn't jump for it. Johnson then chested it against the back of Henderson's legs and we lost it.

That's the sort of thing we're doing today.

There's no intelligence to our play whatsoever.

I look up to see Dirk Kuyt playing DM.

*sigh*

Carroll trips over his own feet.

The depressing sight of Eagles running at our back four with Gerrard and Henderson trailing in his wake.

El Campeador · « **Reply #147 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:04:20 pm »

So I don't think this is about a lack of talent or whatever. It's just strange how disorganized we are. Players all ending up in the wrong positions except for Carroll and Bellamy really.

El Campeador · « **Reply #148 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:05:44 pm »

Tough game to comment on too. It's like watching 8 year olds play ping pong.

It's a lack of footballing intelligence.

75' Kuyt is offside. Was never going to make it to the ball anyway.

75 Bellamy fails to find Kuyt's run, which took him offside anyway.

Fuck knows, mate.

Completely and totally outplayed by a bolton in the bottom 3 with only 1 win at home.
Liverpool making lower level teams look like world beaters. Dire.

It's like the 1990s all over again.

It's all down to corkboy now. How about some luck please.

El Campeador · « **Reply #155 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:08:06 pm »

There is no midfield presence whatsoever. Gerrard is all over the place.

Corkboy · « **Reply #156 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:08:20 pm »

77 Bellamy runs twenty yards and shoots for Bogdan to save comfortably enough.

This is awful. No surprises though, who else suspected we would capitulate to the worst team in the league as soon as an opportunity to pressure 4th came up? Can't believe Shelvey doesn't deserve an outing here.

El Campeador · « **Reply #158 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:09:45 pm »

Route 1 football seems to mean dribble up the middle and take a shot that is saved.

Or dribble up the middle and get dispossessed.

Corkboy · « **Reply #159 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:10:14 pm »

79 Gerrard with a terrible ball for Johnson which goes out. Anyone seen Downing yet?
