A step forward

Just under 2,000 Wolves fans traveled to Anfield on Saturday including Southbankview.

From the start of the day we knew that we would be heavily outnumbered by Liverpool fans I would call them scousers but most of them were just tourists even on the train from Stafford to Liverpool we were far outnumbered by red shirts.

By the time we got to the away pub we were far too late to even fit through the door and were advised not too try any others near the ground so a couple of cans on the street was our scouse treat.
 As always at Anfield when they walk out to "You'll never walk alone" is something really special as much as the Wolves fans tried to drown it out it just wasn't going to happen.

Wolves started very brightly with a few half chances shooting towards the kop then all of a sudden a push on Rodger Johnson gave Suarez the space which he needed to fire them 1-0 up. From here Wolves didn't play too badly but just before half time Wolves switched off again and left Suarez in far too much space out wide for him to cut back inside and fire them into an unassailable lead. From here it would have been easy for it to have been 4 or 5. But this Wolves side is better than that and a tactical change by Mick at half time and Wolves came out ready to fight the odds. The appearance of Steven Fletcher seemed to have an immediate affect and within the first ten minutes Fletcher fired a goal back in front of the travelling fans. But quality was again evident at the other end and Wayne Heynessey pulled off two outstanding blocks to keep us with a fighting chance. Karl Henry had a much better performance and unlike last week deserved his gold shirt but we never really got another clear cut chance and the appearance of Steven Gerrard just about finished the game off.
