Bolo knows our secrets

I couldn't help but laugh after reading this article from the official site. Not that it probably isn't true that Zenden will be able to provide 'inside information' about our side to Marseilles, but Bolo did a poor job carrying out and participating in such tactics while in a Liverpool shirt. Unless turning over the ball incessantly and dribbling the ball out of bounds were a big part of the game plan.

I really don't understand why Rafa would even say such a thing. One could play it up to 'mind games' but what benefit does that play? To make Marseilles think we're worried that Bolo knows the super secrets of Rafa's playbook? Please, we're going to play a 4-4-2 and I can only recall only one 'trick' play that we've used successfully in the past year and that was Daniel Agger's goal versus Chelsea. Having the wingers switch sides is not really a tactic and if we have any other movement schemes, we do a well enough job of making them neither noticeable nor effective.

If Rafa bothers to change things, great, but he won't be doing it because of Bolo.
