Just Another Weekend For Liverpool: It's Fight, Not Flight

What is the difference between watching the events unfold as they occur, either in a stadium or on TV, than reading it in words from any media platform?

None?

No, it's the difference of not being to the Moon and still talking about your first— perceived—Moon walk.

Our last encounter, which re-instates our "Comeback Kings" status, at the Reebok Stadium against the Trotters, was missed by me on TV.

Well, partly to say the least.

I got to see us fall behind, and making a mental note of how many times should we concede from set pieces this season, only to see Glen Johnson putting scores level before the interval.

That's the last bit of action I watched, as a sick stomach diverted my attention to an important health issue, and the bad feeling residing that I missed my first Liverpool FC comeback in years.

(Liverpool's first comeback win under Rafa Benitez was against Fulham at Craven Cottage, in 2004-05 season.)

Bolton are a good enough side; add the tackling machismo, and the Trotters can prove to be a handful as Sean Davis realized after his second booking.

Yes, Sean. You get paid in cards for being overtly physical, because this is football not rugby.

So, with the Bolton "physical" tradition continued, you would definitely expect Liverpool to fully exploit the one-man advantage.

Really, not kidding here.

Ask Wigan Athletic or Manchester City (perhaps don't ask Arsenal) about having to go a man down while leading the score-board.

Still interesting to note here is, the headlines you get to read.

"Liverpool scrape past ten-man Bolton."

"Bolton undone by sending off"

"10-man Bolton put up a brave fight"

Making you consider, that after five years of assembling and being number one in Europe, is a joke and, well, you still aren't supposed to win against a team with a man down.

If you do, it's lucky.

Perhaps, Liverpool make their own luck count.
