Bolton VS Liverpool

This, sadly is a game where you don't see football being played. The referee have been very inconsistent in my opinion, and to be fair, i thought there were many fouls given against liverpool, although i believed that a draw would have been fair.

First goal by Bolton, nothing to say, it was reina's fault, definitely. However you can take a look at the foul leading to the goal. Finnan was guarding the ball and letting it roll out. A bolton player ran in, bang into finnan, falls onto the ground, and gets a foul. Ok, so the referee sets the tone, from what we see, he shouldn't tolerate much tackles right?

Liverpool, i have to admit, was running out of ideas, as benitez decided to match strength with strength, you don't play football with hooligans. Hyypia was looking out of sorts, traore was very poor in his stepping up, fortunately it didn't cost any goals. Attacking wise, they were quite poor, hamann was slow, crouch and pongolle being closed down very fast with no support, and kewell's final touch was that damn depressing.

Then in came the superhuman stevie G, rushing onto a kewell pass, and got into the box, and was well, just waiting for the penalty. Great run, but even greater finish. Look at the replay of the penalty, and i can tell you that no more than 3 players in the EPL can score a penalty like that. Super beautiful taken penalty.

Then came bolton's 2nd goal. It was kinda stupid also, first crouch was getting up for the header, being pushed to the floor, bolton got the ball, and they somehow scored from it. I believed it was offside too. Anyway, reina was at fault once again, he should have intercepted the ball long before it got to diouf.

Then Liverpool scored their 2nd, beautiful chess down by garcia, and slot it into the bottom corner, pure magic. Liverpool showed great character on the pitch, and as i say again, a draw would have been fair, as both teams matched each other quite fairly, though i feel that liverpool had the better chances.

I don't know what bolton manager is thinking, making a fuss out of gerrard's studs challenge on nolan. Fucker man, trying to act modern with your bluetooth shit, why don't you try to use more simple stuff such as a television. You can clearly see gerrard eyes were on the ball all the while. Come on, "we were lucky not get the 3 points." I say you were lucky you have 12 players in your team today. You do not even have the quality, and you wanna win.

Lastly, i admit that liverpool players do dive sometimes, but it is not in the culture. Anyway, how can they be compared to the pros, haha, its quite a joke really. I mean, seriously, scoring 1 goal and think that it's over? Come on, liverpool can come back from 3 goals down, what's 1 goal. No Man of the match award for you, try the guiness world record of longest spitting range.
