Bolton Wanderers

Player ratings: Bolton v Liverpool

PLAYER ratings from Wanderers' win over Liverpool.

Jaaskelainen - Terrific saves from Kuyt and Gerrard in first half, had the cigar out in second half 7

Hunt - Some wasteful passing early on, but a dogged and disciplined defensive performance after that 8

Ben Haim - Playing out of position, he didn't give the normally dangerous Pennant a sniff of an opportunity 8

Faye - Unfazed by Kuyt and Bellamy, unflustered by Crouch, and a couple of decisive interceptions 6

Meite - As calm as his defensive partner, and one excellent block stopped Bellamy getting Liverpool back into it 6

Nolan - Not his greatest game, especially against home-town team, but never stopped working 6

Campo - Rolled back the years with a vintage performance, capped by a thumping header to seal the points 8

Speed - Marked his 750th club appearance with a cracking goal and a brilliant goal-saving challenge on Pennant 9

Anelka - Kept quiet by Hyypia, but he ensured that the Liverpool back four was never able to settle 6

Davies - Roughed them up, ran them down, and even popped up in his own area for a vital interception 8

Diouf - Would have loved a big, big game against the club that rejected him, but had to make do with his part in great team display 7

Subs

Vaz Te (for Anelka 84) - not enough time to make a mark 5

Stelios (for Diouf 87) - barely touched the ball as Liverpool pressed 5

Goals - Speed (31), Campo (50) for Bolton

A win but we're a dirty, one dimensional bunch of hackers. I am fed up watching this rubbish football, whatever happened to entertainment?

I saw the game on TV and it was a tough one for Bolton. They worked very hard and made it difficult for Liverpool. Anelka was isolated up front and did not get the service he needs to produce goals but he worked hard and I hope he will get some goals soon.
