Like millions of other football fans, and Wolves fans in particular I went through all the emotions on Saturday during the 2-1 victory. The pre match betting odds, suggested that Wolves had little or no chance at Anfield. How wrong they were. Well done to all those who chose to invest in an away victory.

Wolves went with a plan, stuck to it, and to a man they played their hearts out. Many were running on empty at the final whistle. However, the media as usual were very biased towards the Premier League side. The reports mainly seemed to suggest that Liverpool were playing a much changed, young weakened team. Little mention was made of the number of changes that Lambert had made. The stats show that they had 79% of the play, but in reality much of their time on the ball was between the centre circle and the Wanderers penalty area. Paul Lambert and the coaching staff deserve praise for the victory.

At kick off, the average age of the Pool players was 23.3 while the Wolves averaged 24.1. However, by the final whistle, with the subs, the Reds average had risen to 24.1, while the average of the men from Molineux had fallen to 23.6.

At the culmination of the match, a match that will stay forever in the minds of the 8500 or so supporters who made the trip, the only statistic that mattered, was Liverpool 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers 2.
