Match Report 101031 at Bolton Wanderers: Away win despite poor performance

1-0 and this is our first away win of the season, and we leave it very late to win the game. It is the same formation of the last two matches but we could not repeat our performance in the last match, fortunately luck was on our side and a wonder goal by Maxi bring us the precious 3 points.

Players Rating:
Reina: 7.5 Make a few superb saves to set up the platform for the victory.
Carragher: 6.5 Lucky not to have conceded a penalty.
Kyrgiakos: 7 Form keep on improving.
Skrtel: 7 Solid at the back.
Konchesky: 6.5 Not much involvement in attack.
Lucas: 7.5 Rock solid performance and also contributed to the winning goal.
Meireles: 7 Nice and neat performance.
Maxi: 7 Scored a timely winning goal.
Gerrard: 7 Tried hard to carry the team forward.
Cole: 6.5 Not much contribution even before the injury.
Torres: 6.5 Very quiet game despite the assist.

Substitutions:
Ngog: 7 Provided another dimension when came up.
Poulsen: 6.5 Not enough time to do any damage.

RH: 6.5 Still no clue of how to play away, and was lucky to get 3 points home. Also, this is not a famous victory. We should win this game easier.

Bolton Wanderers: 6.5 Would feel unhappy not to take 1 point home especially they have a few penalty shouts.

Players of the Match: Reina/Lucas. Combined to bring us our first away victory.
