Only 1 point away from Everton


Biscan the most unlikely scorer

It's definitely determination & lotsa luck to be able to pull off a win against Bolton. Biscan scored the ONLY goal that moved The Kop to within 1 point from Everton, in the 85th min from a spot-on cross by Traore.

It's was a nail-biting (at least for me, literally) match. Bolton was really threatening during set pieces & seeing Finnan having to clear the ball thrice off the line ain't a comforting sight. Rafael Benitez knew he had to win this, he was playing 3 strikers during the 2nd period (Morientes, Garcia & Smicer); there were gapping holes at the back of Pool's defense & Bolton knew how to exploit that. Luckily, the defense stood their ground & Traore was impressive in the absence of Hyppia.

Ok, we have tough tough week ahead. Having to play Juventus on 05th & 13th Apr 05 is no joke. We are going to be without so many key players, I hope we get a decent win against Juv at Anfield & possibly make the trip to Stadio Delle Alpi easier; not forgetting the Heysel Stadium disaster that may or may not have an impact on the game.
