Games Highlights


A great performance by the Liverpool team last weekend with a emphatic 4-0 win over Bolton, a team which has just appointed a new manager Gary Megson and also won Manchester United a week ago. Bolton has been producing some good results recently before coming to Anfield. Captain Stevie was influential in the whole game, playing to his best, leading his team in getting the 3 points. Man of the match performance.



It didn't take long for the home side to break deadlock. A freekick taken from the left was headed into the goal by big Sami Hyypia, leaving Jussi Jaaskelainen standing on his goal line. Liverpool didn't start very well in the game but was fortunate enough to got in front.

They were luckier later in the game when Bolton striker Nicholas Anelka missed a open goal when Jamie Carragher and Pepe Reina bumped into each other upon clearing the ball. It's an unusual scene for Anelka to miss a open goal and also Carragher-Reina miscommunication. The goal-line was 1-0 then.



Liverpool was fast enough to get the second just before the break. A great through ball from Steven Gerrard to on form striker Fernando Torres who didn't make any mistakes with his finishing. He had so much work to do even he got the ball from Gerrard. However, he made it look so simple. With so much pace, he chipped the ball over the outcoming Jaaskelainen. World Class Finish!



The second half was no doubt that Liverpool was going to take the 3 points back home. Here again, Gerrard crossed the ball into the area where Peter Crouch was being brought down. Penalty. It seems to me that Liverpool are getting penalties very match recently and there's no better candidate to take it. Steven Gerrard scored the 3rd for the Reds with a shot to his left. He shot to the right 2 games before. :)



Substitute Ryan Babel came on later in the game and once again, the flying Dutchman kept his habit of coming in scoring. A rebound from fellow international teammate Dirk Kuyt was nicely placed for Babel to slot in the home side' fourth of the day. He came on against Beskitas with 2 goals, Newcastle 1, and now Bolton 1 more. I do hope he can just keep scoring. It would be a boost to the team and himself.

It's job well done for the lads and of course, Rafa himself. There are still much rooms for improvements and of course, all the important matches are coming up which is all Must-Win games for us. The season is still a long path and Liverpool have to maintain the form and keep up with the pace. We can't afford to have any hiccups and be so generous in our points.



Come On Rafa and Co, I believe in you.

You'll Never Walk Alone..
