Went to Wolves vs. Liverpool last night - 1st half Liverpool where the better team but didn't rely create any chances - 2nd half and not just cos I'm a wolves fan we were the better team by miles - I'd say bout 75% of the time in the 2nd half the ball was in lpools half
Was impressed with Maxi Rodriguez - didn't recognise him at first as teams had been announced before I got in the stadium and couldn't hear the Liverpool team because of the abuse Reina was getting (for running down the pitch in the Anfield match last month to get Ward sent off)
was also very pleased with Kuyt - he's suprisingly fast and doesn't stop running all game
Gerrard wasn't 100% - that was obvious - so his display wasn't his best altho I must say I can't remember seeing a player want to win a match for his team so much - the frustration when lpool couldn't break down our defense (who I will come on to in a minute) was obvious from the look on his face but he just went running again
Carragher - right back last night so in all fairness out of position - was shocking - matt jarvis (very fast but not best at taking round players or crossing) and Doyle absolutley killed him all night
now onto wolves (sorry to bore you)
1st half it was us winning tackles/headers - give it straight to lpool - tackle/header - give back just an endless circle of that but 2nd half we were fantastic (maybe a bit of bias but I think it's allowed - the game was nearly 30 hours ago and I'm still ecstatic of result and peformance)
Hahnemann - I am a Wayne Hennessey fan and was gutted when he was dropped but Hahnemann has came in, commanded his area better and the defence look a lot more confident - Also much better at intercepting crosses than Wayne
Zubar - wasn't sure when he first came in and didn't play for 2/3 months, then few average displays, then injured then scored at weekend vs Palace - his confidence has has gone straight up and lady night he was fantastic!! Fans love him too
Berra - came in last year and looked dodgy in championship- very dodgy so imagine going into a prem season with him as one of 3 fit CBs but has came in and been AMAZING!! last night he absolutley dominated the Liverpool attack
Craddock - going into a new prem season with a larglt unproven CB (stearman), Berra (as I've just said) and a 34/5 year old Jody Craddock was worrying but what a pro! He came close to leaving 2 years ago and wasn't wanted - still has come in and been amazing! Scored 3 or 4 goals and has probly been our player of season (alongside Doyle and Berra)
midfield as whole - need a proven winger!! And a CM would help as Milijas has only played the full 90 once this season
strikers - doyle 6.5m - bargain of the season - best player we've had at wolves since lescott and robbie keane! Really really talented player - shame Ebanks Blake can't get a goal to boost his confidence
Sorry - didn't mean to ramble on for so long

going to Hull away this Saturday - not for the first time it's the biggest game of our season so far! Win we get a bit of breathing space and but Hull further in danger
all season I've said Pompey, Hull and Burnley to go down and I'm sticking by that after last nite - play like that week in week out we will be fine
just inconsistency to worry bout
