0-2 and our display was very poor. We started very brightly in 1H, but after a ridiculous error by the assistant referee, we were one down and ever since then, the players just conceded defeat. Rafa's tinkering tactics is once again under fire, but as Xabi said, we need to focus on the big picture.
Players Rating:
Reina: 5 Very poor performance. The freekick was an error, but he should do better for both goals conceded, especially the first one.
Finnan: 5.5 Exposed by Bolton and let Campo headed in the second goal.
Carragher: 6 Can't do anything to help.
Hyypia: 6 Called up to face the physical challenge from Bolton, but at the end it was not effective.
Riise: 6 An average display.
Pennant: 6 Ineffective.
Alonso: 6 Failed to make an impact.
Sissoko: 6.5 Played very well but Rafa was forced to take him off for tactical reason.
Gerrard: 7 Played well, especially in 2H when moved into middle, but couldn't help.
Bellamy: 5.5 Simply ineffective and still searching for his first league goal.
Kuyt: 6 Failed to make an impact and was forced to be subsituted after he suffered from an injury.
Substitutions:
Crouch/Luis Garcia/Zenden: 6 All failed to make impact.
Rafa: 6 I think he should not say things in the press to fire Bolton up. It is a challenge for Rafa to heal our away day sickness. Starting for our next 2 away games at Old Trafford and Emirates Stadium...
Bolton: 7 They have more heart to win it, and nothing else.
Man of the Match: Gerrard. Sissoko also ran close.
