It's not true we won only because Bolton had one man sent off. It can be a lot tougher to play against 10 men especially when they are leading at home. Credit must be given to the Reds for pressing hard and eventually a Gerrard-Kyut-Torres move culminated in our second leveller. From then on, there was only gonna be one winner. Time was on our side. We had approx 20mins to find that winning goal. No sweat. The way Gerrard blasted that goal from a Torres knock-down was sweet! 12 yards out....that was a typical Gerrard goal!
There was on thing that troubled me though. What was Lucas doing on the pitch? Even when Benayoun came on, it was for Reira and not Lucas. I couldn't believe it. Reira was a constant menace down the left all night long. Glenn and Kyut was doing the same down the right. But what was Lucas doing?? Nothing much really.....Why does Rafa love him so much? One wonders....
Our defense. Honestly, I feel Carragher's time is up. We can't be conceding silly goals all the time. Something needs to be done and done quickly. That greek defender (forgot his name) did reasonably well but I feel it's time to play Skrtel and Agger together once they are fit. Carragher is not as sharp and, more importantly, not as fast as before. After more than 10 years of distinguished service playing for the club, perhaps his time is nearing an end as a player.
For the last time, I hope Rafa stops playing Lucas. Period. We can\t afford to drop more points especially when Chelsea is picking up 3 points for fun.
Btw, all those bloody loud ManUre fans out there who think they did well by beating Arsenal. Think again. It was an own goal that gave them the 3 points.....if I were them, I would just thank my lucky stars and be damn quiet and humble. But I suppose that's a concept they will never fully comprehend. Hehehe ;-)

Ha ha.. Poor Lucas. He was actually trying his best not to screw things up already. Give him a break lah. Given his form, maybe Rafa should really think of giving one of the youngsters a chance in the 1st team. Jay Spearing looks promising. Hope he does get a chance.
Agree. Jay Spearing is a lot more combative than Lucas.
I dun know la...Lucas just irritates me big time. Rafa shows too much favouritism for my liking. He doesnt use his young players as much as we would have liked. Gerard got his debut when he was 18. I believe we have a few youngsters ready for the call-up and Spearing is one of them...
