    So if our league form dips and struggle in the Europa league, people will be glad for the replay causing the extra tiredness. We will now be playing 2 games a week for quite a while

    That's why we bought lots of players instead of betting it all on one Lukaku <ok>

    "There are already two men mowing the pitch at Anfield. Surely that could wait until the morning?"

    How about we ask them how to do your job?

    So you'd have rather we forfeited our games in the CL earlier in the season as well as the LC game and FA cup game in the last round so we don't have to play too many games and can concentrate on the league?

    I'd rather my team play as many matches as possible this year.

    1, more chance of winning some of those competitions, more chance to win them if you're in them than if you're out.
    2, gives me the chance of watching my team more during the season
    3, gives young players more chance to gel this year in prep for next year when we can mount a more serious challenge on top 4 and the cups.

    That's called "a Van Gaal" isn't it?

    Rodgers: "There are games which if you are of lesser character you might lose."

    This is key IMO, I'm less and less feeling we're going to chuck it in our own net. "Everything was against us" as Van Gaal would say, and we still dominated.

    It is now clear we wasted a huge amount of money on our recruits. The players we brought in as strikers are piss poor and that's Rodgers doing.

    Sturridge was injured, Balotelli was sick, Borini forced a world class save, Lambert didn't play

    By common consent balotelli Borini and lambert have been flawed purchases and we should really have brought better strikers...certainly for us as a club wanting to get into top 4.

    That's the thing. I think one of the MC's mentioned it after the game to Rodgers, but we never looked like losing let alone even conceding in that game. I know they are Champ team with two 50 year olds up front but it was the same against Chelsea apart from 1 silly pen. Our defence has improved massively since the change of formation and introduction of Can and Sakho.

    I want Can to move forward, but all the time he's helping us keep clean sheets he MUST stay in the best 3.

    Poor really

    Sterling was really poor, decision making was piss poor

    Markovic showed something good... That is that he is at least a player

    Enrique is done, manquillo can't attack

    Allen has been the same all year, just way off.

    So all in all, no more than deserved. Very well done to Bolton for thier homework being done on the press and defense

    LfC need a striker like we have known all year.

    Roll on replay. After 60 mins I said I'd take one and let's get the league cup semi going rather than this

    24 shots, 9 on target, the bulk of the possession and by far the better chances created. We played well and controlled the game whilst looking defensively safe against a well organised Bolton team. Like many have said, we just needed that goalscorer and without Sturridge, we don't have it. Unfortunately, until we offload some of the garbage we have, our squad is too cluttered to buy another forward so we're stuck with what we have until summer.

    It also looks like Markovic is becoming a huge influence in our attacking play. Although he makes poor decisions with the final ball - and he'll learn as he plays - he's the start of most of our direct and fast attacking plays.
