Liverpool vs. Wolves – English Premier League – Minute by minute Report (Part 5)
Even though Liverpool has been trying their best to find that goal they desperately need but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952’ counter attacks have been working perfectly.
So far they have won three corners and even though they haven’t really converted them into goals, they have been very threatening towards http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672’s goal.
It is a very interesting start as Wolves are trying to score a goal so that they can get rid of the bottom of the table spot. On the other hand, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 is trying their best to reach the top half of the table as Roy Hodgson’s job is at stake as well.
A good statistic that might cheer the Liverpool fans up is the fact that Wolves last won at Anfield back in 1984.
Liverpool has been dominating in terms of possession but Wolves has tried more shots on goal and even though none of them looked to be going in, the fact that Wolves are taking their chances clearly sends the message that they are not ready to give up.
A beautiful cross by Wolves but Pepe Reina is present there.
Wolves are very ambitious in terms of scoring goals and they are trying their best to find that goal that would give them the advantage while being away from home.
Martin Skrtel has been a brick wall throughout the first 25 minutes and so far he has won every ball that has come at him. Liverpool is being forced to play a little bit longer.
Wolves are winning the tactical battle but Liverpool have been up front to threaten the defensive walls of Wolves.
The 12th ranked Premier League side has been good at defending but not really good at attacking. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 could not really convert.
Moreover, there was a chance for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-Meireles-c30678 to put Liverpool in front but he did not really finish it well to put his team in front.
Steven http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 has barely found the ball at his feet. His last touch was during the 12th minute when Torres made a back pass. Since then the captain has been silent.
On the other hand, Raul Meireles is operating well on the right wing. There is no doubt that he is not really a winger but he has been adapting well with his new club and he completely shows that he wants to win games.
David N’Gog passes the ball back towards Lucas and Fernando Torres finds the long ball as the Brazilian plays it forward. The Spaniard cannot control it down and Folley makes sure that it is well cleared. There was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 right behind the Spaniard but
the Liverpool Number 9 decided to make a run forward himself and he misses out on another chance while impressing his fans.
Wolves are playing a high line after the 30th minute and they are trying to attack at the Liverpool defence.
With a clever player like Torres it is definitely a risk to play a high line but Mick McCarthy is clever enough to mark his men down as a defender stays right behind Fernando Torres all the time.
Dirk Kuyt passes the ball to Lucas and Elokobi challenges from behind. The Wolves midfielder receives a yellow card after a challenge from the back on Lucas. Steven Gerard takes the free kick and nothing from it.
