Mark Lawrenson's prediction
"I'm going to go for Liverpool but this is a real hard game for them, I think, arguably one of the toughest they've faced of late.
I say that purely on the basis that after not scoring for five or six games Bolton have won a couple of games recently, keeping a couple of clean sheets in the process.
They are a much tougher proposition at home - and a lunchtime fixture is never ideal, either - but I fancy Liverpool to just about come through it."
-
Yes , i think playing against Bolton has never been easy for Liverpool in our Premiership history .
Playing at The Reebok's make it double difficult .
Worst Bolton aerial tactics , playing the ball in the air rather than on the ground , make it triple hard .
Our advantage : Sammy Lee !!!
Sammy Lee knows Bolton players inside out , which is to our advantage .
-
I think Bolton will sneaked in one goal , and Liverpool to beat them by 2-1 .
Liverpool 2-1 my prediction .
-
All our big guns will be back against Bolton .
I think it's right to chose to " lose" at White Hart Lane .
Liverpool FC always flop in December ... either becos of the winter , or becos of too many matches , or X'mas mood , i dunno , but this season , things really went thru' well ..... we are injury-free , touch wood , but our 1st 11 is there ....
Most important , El Nino is back , and with Keane breaking his personal duck against WBA , we have a show til the end of the season .
Remember what happen to Crouch when he started scoring against Wigan ? The goals came naturally for Crouch , same could be happening to Keane .
-
well... pool won away by 2 goals.
anyone realise the commentators tend to bia against pool for playing boring football?
-
So many comical misses in front of the goalmouth.
-
fortunately, liverpool was not made to pay for all the misses (particularly keane's miss in the first half). bolton was just as awful when it comes to finishing.
the back four seems shakey as compared to the early part of the season. i suppose skrtel's absence was sorely felt.
the reds cannot afford to fool around anymore, with chelsea hitting on top gear these days. arsenal and man utd are being inconsistent and erratic this season. any slip-ups will prove very very costly.
-
Liverpool failing to take their chances is a huge problem. Liverpool came away empty handed at tottenham because of this and it almost happened again at Bolton. All the hard work would be undone if the goal was allowed.
Otherwise, Liverpool is having a great season so far.
-
i wld be happier if the score is 6-2! :D
questions:-
is reebok's grd playable - given the slippery acts all rd the pitch, esp. in front of goals!
& when are we gonna hit some decent form....waiting for x'mas!? my heart cannot take it much more! :)
-
dull playing style again.
-
Yeah , Liverpool played badly under the " shower " . Wet pitch ....
Aiyo , Arsenal played beautiful fluent football , play and lost . What for ?
Sometimes play ugly and won better .....
To beat Bolton @ The Reebok Stadium , is a massive massive achievement , cos base on past records , we dun fare well .
Sammy Lee did us good actually .
-
To be Champion of England , before Xmas , we must remain there , and must stop Man Utd going above us , if Man Utd reach the top by New Year , then base on traditional records, Man Utd will be there til the end of the season .
Believe me .
-
Don't get me wrong to say Chelsea and Arsenal is not a threat , they still is , but Man Utd is still the team to beat .
If by X.mas we are there at the Top , then is as good as we beaten Manure for the Title .
-
Chelsea will go puncture eventually .... Arsenal young guns already punctured . : )
-
unless Wenger can drum some steel and confidence into his players, I really don't see Arsenal challenging for the title this season. It's just 13 games and Arsenal has already lost 4. Definitely not title-winning form....
just hope that pool can maintain their form and be among the challengers or even better, leaders come april
