Went to the Bootle v City of Liverpool "friendly" tonight. Finished 3-3 which overall was probably right. After withstanding a first 15 mins of constant pressure Bootle went 2-0 up and were coasting by half time. Second half brought lots of changes which evened it up and C of L scored two nice goals. A deflected cross which gave Bootle a tap in and a late penalty evened it up.
Certainly more control and quality from Bootle but the crowd certainly got behind C of L when they scored and carried an average team through for a deserved draw. Mitch played all the first half, had a rest then came on for the last 25 mins. Did ok but with a defensive partner in the first half showed that there was huge gaps between them (Sorry Mitch if you are reading) which Bootle exploited.
Bootle will be up there for certain as they will score goals, C of L have a crowd behind them and useful players but they are beatable especially away from home, they are nothing special on tonight's evidence.
