A 3rd consecutive away defeat marred the 3 home-game fine run Liverpool had. A controversial Gary Speed's freekick and a clincial header from Ivan Campo separated the 2 sides. 

Pepe Reina was clearly misjudged by the referee for handball outside the penalty area but it was not an excuse for Liverpool who played sloppily against a well-organised Bolton side. The Reds abilityinability to defend in aerial attacks was once-again manifested by Campo.

Rafael Benitez should have paired Dirk Kuyt and the in-form Crouch instead from the barren Bellamy. But 1 have to admit any Bolton home game is going to turn out tough.

Great thumping of the Turkish giants, with Crouch being the double-goal hero. 

Crouch made a great start in the first 15 mins followed by Luis Garcia's open header. Crouch then displayed his aerobatic abilities with a superb overhead kick goal in the 2nd half which put Liverpool comfortably with a 3-goal cushion.

Though Finnan put in a fantastic assist to Crouch's goal, he was ironically the culprit of the 2 goals Liverpool conceded in the final periods of the game.  Not the best performance u expect from one of the most consistent right-back in EPL. The Reds had to defend nervously till the final whistle and once again it showed their fragile defense when under pressure.

At Manila's Nokia Exibition , the Finnish firm unveiled the N95, -- distinctly different from the rumor pics that spread like wildfire on the net -- the N75, touted the smallest phone in the N-series lineup, some budget 5300/5200, revamped 3250, N70, N73 and now the 8GB built-in N91, in the new wave of music-centric mobiles.

The N95 silder stole the show with its integrated GPS-receiver, 3.5G capabilities, a eyebrow-raising 5.1-Megapixel camera. The rest of the features are similar to its predecessor, the N80, notably Wi-Fi enabled. The only setback would perhaps be the screen, as its a step back from the 416x352 pixel display found in the latter to a larger but less sharp QVGA. It remains a enigma to many.

The N75 is essentially a foldable N70(think N71), but this time, it scores in its cosmetic department. Definitely a powerhouse slim folder that even Motorola or Samsung can't match for now.

The 5300/5200 music phones are cheap handsets with features considered stone-age today.

The remaining improved 3250, N70, N73, N91 sums up how Nokia build on the success of current products and better suit music tastebuds.

Looking great for the Reds against a distraughted Hotspur. Although slow start to the first-half, the Reds were rejuvanated after the break and they deserved 6 out of 6 points for the week.

First, Gerrard excellent footwork on the right side of the penalty box puts a straight-through low-cross. Bellamy unforgivably lost the plot right in front of goal but Gonzalez scambled shot eased the Kop's nerves.

Second, superb vision from Garcia that set up Kuyt with his 2nd goal the week, though he still needs more time to adapt to the Premiership

Third, a scorcher from Riise in injury time - contender for goal of the season together with Alonso's wonder goal a few days before - that caught Paul Robinson off-guard.

Comment: Sissoko had an off-day today, giving the ball away too easily while Zokora now looks 20% Salif Diao. Advice for Martin Jol to concentrate on their set-pieces.

Next up, Champions' League tie against Turkish giant Galatasaray at Anfield.

Maiden Goal from Kuyt and wonder strike from Alonso wraps up 3 important points. It's time we find the momentum to win on big occasions and next up, a tricky Spurs test...

YES YES...P-R-E-L-I-M-S all officially over as of 3.30pm today but...the race ain't over yet...
