imo the only positives from last night's match was that carroll broke his duck for this season and a few players like skrtel robbo flanno and spearing got some game time, tot doni shud hv gotten a game to keep him in top condition. suarez were involved in all 3 goals as expected and without him esp with gerrard injured, i dont c many creative sparks apart from adam and downing at times.. we all know kuyt hendo and raul are more to the hardworking players running all day long, at this point, i feel we could certainly benefit with aquilani around.. someone who would find space and be comfortable on the ball, playing 1-2s at the edge of the box to open up defences, sadly he's off to milan.. i know we're still a work-in-progress but as of now, im still not convinced why aqua nvr got any chance of the previous 2 competitive matches..

bolton up this sat and a tough match imo. that team has got goals in them.. 6 from 2 matches and 2 against mancity who were the best defence last season.. it will be really tough and now raul is out so expect the midfield to be the same with prolly either one of kuyt/hendo playing.
