Back to the drawing board for Mick McCarthy but his new signing Hammill showed some good promise.[LNB]That's all from me on this game but click here to follow all the action from the 3pm kick-offs, thank you for following.[LNB]14.40: Am emphatic win for Liverpool and that is one of the best performances I have seen them give this season.[LNB]The result sees them move into the top 10 before the 3pm kick-offs and they look set to only go up under Kenny Dalglish.[LNB]Full-time: Wolves 0-3 Liverpool[LNB]90+1min: GOAL! Wolves 0-3 LIVERPOOL[LNB]On the counter, Kuyt powers down the left and although he is tackled before he can get the shot in, the ball rolls kindly to Fernando Torres six yards out who powers it high into the centre of the goal.[LNB]90min: Three minutes added on.[LNB]89min: 'You'll Never Walk Alone' rings out from the away end as the home fans steadily filter out to the exits. Their team has tried but they just lack a cutting edge.[LNB]86min: The third Liverpool player is booked with the super impressive Raul penalised for a trip.[LNB]84min: But it's Liverpool on the counter that produce the next chance, Torres' shot taking a deflection on the way through to Hennessey.[LNB]The Spaniard claims hand ball off Berra but it would have been very harsh had it been given.[LNB]81min: A further change from Liverpool. Fabio Aurelio is on for Maxi. It's as you were, Wolves in attack without actually doing much.[LNB]77min: And again Hammill gets involved. Fletcher plays a lovely powerful pass across goal but the winger gets his feet in a twist and fails to get a shot in. Much more venom in Wolves attack now.[LNB]74min: And an instant impact from both! Hammill sends in a superb cross in to the six yard box, but Liverpool clear and counter.[LNB]Raul feeds an unmarked Shelvey on the edge of the box but in a rush of blood to the head powers his shot over the bar.[LNB]73min: It's a sub for both teams, Hammill makes his Premier League debut replacing Hunt while Jonjo Shelvey is on for Poulsen, who I think passed the test today.[LNB]70min: Ah here we go. New signing and former Liverpool graduate Adam Hammill is warming up.[LNB]68min: Mick McCarthy must be thinking about subs to throw an unknown quantity in the mix.[LNB]Everything Wolves throw forward Liverpool have an answer for. They are too predictable right now.[LNB] Going down: Poulsen commits a foul on Ward (top)[LNB]65min: I don't know what camera angle you are getting there as I'm watching in Canada but if you actually saw Henry on Meireles you wouldn't be calling it an over reaction, it was a red card every day of the week[LNB]Atkinson is also, to both sets of players, not showing any respect. The respect campaign cant be just one way. Players asking questions in the right manner are being completely ignored as Atkinson refuses to look at them and pretends they aren't there Respect is a two way thing.[LNB]Daniel McCormack[LNB]I admit I have only seen the incident once when it actually happened, so I would be happy to be corrected.[LNB]Interesting point of view on the respect campaign though.[LNB]63min: It's still all Wolves but you really don't fancy them to score. Liverpool very comfortable at the back.[LNB]In an odd sort of way you fancy Liverpool to score next on the counter.[LNB]60min: Wolves may lose this game but you cannot fault their effort. They have been much the better team this half but unlike the visitors have not had a decent effort on goal.[LNB]57min: Wolves dominating. Jarvis reaches the left byline before cutting the ball back that was just inviting a shot. As it is, Maxi takes no chances and blasts it behind for a corner which the Reds clear.[LNB]55min: Hunt's effort cannons off the wall and from the rebound Ronald Zubar skies a shot over the bar. It was the wrong choice as he had better options inside the box.[LNB]53min: Wolves continue to attack and have by no means dropped their heads as they win a free-kick 22 yards out.[LNB] What a hit! Raul doubles Liverpool's lead with a superb volley[LNB]50min: GOAL! Wolves 0-2 LIVERPOOL[LNB]This is at least a contender for goal of the month, Wolves fail to clear a header and from 25 yards out, Raul Meireles hits a first time volley that loops into the top corner. Stunning technique and Hennessey was never in a million years going to get that.[LNB]49min: Superb from Liverpool, Maxi slips through Dirk Kuyt but Hennessey stands firm to prevent the Dutchman from nutmegging him.[LNB]48min: Good start to this half, Jarvis and Ward combine well on the left but the winger's cross is poor and straight at Reina.[LNB]Up the other end Raul has a shot from outside the box that curls away and well wide across goal.[LNB]46min: Lucas was out very early for the second-half, doing plenty of stretching, he looks fine for the moment but one to keep monitoring.[LNB]Second-half: Torres and Raul re-start proceedings.[LNB]13.43: Torres is going to have to watch himself this half. He looks up for it for once but is maybe a little too keen with that booking over his head.[LNB]Should be interesting to see Dalglish's response. Push for more or defend that one goal lead? Time to see how confident Liverpool really are.[LNB]13.40: I was a tad disappointed that half ended, it just started to come to life as well.[LNB]A bit like turning the heater on in your car and it only starts to get warm when your two minutes away from your destination.[LNB]Half-time: Wolves 0-1 Liverpool[LNB]46+1min: Two minutes added on and this has gone end to end as Liverpool counter. Torres gives it away though in attack and Wolves go straight down the other end where they win a free-kick in a similar position to the last.[LNB]It's Torres who gives it away after a typical striker's challenge and yes, he is booked. Liverpool manage to clear their lines from the free-kick.[LNB]45min: More personal battles as Skrtel and Stephen Hunt have a few angry words.[LNB]Never mind that though, Hunt's free-kick to the far post finds an unmarked Nenad Milijas, but he runs out of angle and space with Reina blocking his eventual shot from close range.[LNB]44min: Wolves finishing the half much better and they win a free-kick 30 yards out to the left.[LNB]41min: Martin Atkinson gives Torres a final warning after another slight push in the back on Stearman. I will be amazed if neither of them are booked this afternoon.[LNB]39min: That's Wolves closest effort, Fletcher has a snap shot on the edge of the box that is hit well enough but is easy enough for Reina to dive low and claim.[LNB] Slick Spaniard: Fernando Torres (left) looked bright and was worthy of scoring the opening goalFOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY Additional licence required for any commercial/promotional use or use on TV or internet (except identical online version of newspaper) of Premier League/Football League photos.

Wolves 0-1 LIVERPOOL[LNB]The home side are fuming but the female lineswoman Sian Massey has got this spot on.[LNB]Raul beats the offside trap and after he homes in on goal he unselfishly squares the ball for Fernando Torres to convert into an empty net. [LNB]35min: Liverpool growing in confidence. They are playing some quick passing moves and after Maxi receives the ball in the box he turns to give himself space before his low shot is well stopped by Hennessey.[LNB]32min: That is the closest we have come. Torres plays a delightful back-heel and from 20 yards out Raul snaps a volley just wide across goal. Hennessey looked beaten.[LNB]30min: Scrappy is how I sum up the first 30 minutes. There is no flow to the game, plenty of passion though and this look like it is going to explode into life at some point...well I hope it does.[LNB] Deep thought: Kenny Dalglish (left) in discussion with assistant Steve Clark[LNB]27min: One of my pet hates in football. Karl Henry and Raul run for a loose ball and although Henry's arm goes up, almost instantly the Portugese midfielder goes down holding his face.[LNB]There was hardly any contact and no intent from the Wolves skipper at all. Some retrospective action has to start being taken to stop these over reactions.[LNB]24min: Keep your eye on this one. Torres and Stearman have had an ongoing battle that started with verbals and has developed into small pushes. Referee Martin Atkinson spots the pattern and brings them together to make peace...nice try but it's hardly going to work.[LNB]22min: Here is evidence of that, Raul Meireles plays a wonderful ball over the top for Torres and after he leaves a defender standing, fires a shot across goal that Wayne Hennessey does well to parry to safety. Good chance but it was far from easy.[LNB]21min: I am a tad disappointed in Wolves, as soon as Berra and Richard Stearman get the ball it's pumped up the field with no aim at all. Dalglish's side playing the better stuff.[LNB]18min: What a war of attrition this is turning into. Cannot fault the effort out there but confidence and quality is certainly lacking.[LNB]Who are you watching? England boss Fabio Capello was in attendance at Molineux[LNB]15min: For all of Wolves' impotence in attack, Liverpool's centre-backs are looking very shaky.[LNB]Daniel Agger and Maritn Skrtel have been having first touches that go further than I can kick.[LNB]13min: Liverpool looked like they were getting on top but the hosts have just put on a spell of pressure themselves.[LNB]It's all non-threatening though and both sides are having one or two troubles in providing a final ball.[LNB]10min: Great move from Liverpool, Lucas ghosts down the left where Glen Johnson picks him out with a pass, his low ball across the area is fired on target by Poulsen but Christophe Berra is on hand to get a vital block.[LNB]8min: Very fast pace to this game but no team is really in control. The ball is like a hot potato as it keeps getting given away.[LNB]5min: Not a great start for Poulsen. He is very late in a sliding challenge on Stephen Ward and is promptly booked.[LNB]3min: Fernando Torres' body language has been a big talking point in nearly every match this season and the good news for Reds' fans is he is looking sharp - playing a give and go with Maxi Rodriguez before winning a corner.[LNB]2min: 'Up and at them' from the home side and they win a free-kick inside Liverpool's half, but Matt Jarvis' ball in the box is comfortably taken by Pepe Reina.[LNB]Kick-off: Steven Fletcher and Kevin Doyle get us going.[LNB]12.43: The fans are up for this one there is hardly a spare seat around as the players make their way out to the pitch to a chorus of cheers. Cannot blame them I'm looking forward to this myself.[LNB]12.40: One omission from the Liverpool squad is Paul Konchesky. I don't think there are any natural left-backs in the 18 man squad and the writing looks like it's on the wall for the former Fulham full-back.[LNB]12.37: It's not the best of times to visit Wolves who have been playing with free spirit in recent weeks.[LNB]They showed tremendous strength in character to put on a late rally in the 4-3 defeat at Manchester City and were ruthless in front of goal against Doncaster mid-week. Keeny Dalglish faces another task to grab his first win.[LNB]12.34: There is another big incentive for Wolves this afternoon. They sit 19th in the table but a win will drag them out of the relegation zone and at least briefly take them up to the dizzy heights of 15th.[LNB]12.31: What is not on his side is Liverpool's awful away record.[LNB]Just one win on the road all season but that came at Bolton, making them the only side to win on their travels to the Reebok this season. Pick the bones out of that.[LNB]12.28: I think this is a crossroads for Poulsen's Liverpool career.[LNB]His time at Anfield started badly and has got worse since.[LNB]Dalglish will be trying to work through the dead wood in this Liverpool team and I do fear for the summer arrival from Juventus. He has to deliver now.[LNB]12.25: Back to today though, Kenny Dalglish restores Christian Poulsen to the starting line up to face Wolves at Molineux as he goes looking for his first victory since returning as Liverpool manager.[LNB]The Denmark midfielder replaces Jay Spearing as the only change from the side which drew 2-2 in last Sunday's Merseyside derby.[LNB]Joe Cole makes his first appearance in a Dalglish squad as one of the substitutes.[LNB]Wolves boss Mick McCarthy also makes one change from the team which lost 4-3 at Manchester City a week ago, with Karl Henry replacing Dave Jones.[LNB]Former Liverpool academy player Adam Hammill is named on the bench after his move from Barnsley.[LNB]12.22: The former Liverpool boss who departed in the summer has said it's not his fault Liverpool are in the current situation they are in.[LNB]'In the team now, Pepe Reina, Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Fabio Aurelio, Lucas Leiva, Fernando Torres, Maxi Rodriquez, Dirk Kuyt, so it's a massive, massive team.[LNB]'I am not taking all the credit, I think the team is good, the problem may be the mentality. So I think Kenny can change these things and will hopefully be good for the team.[LNB]'But the other thing is that Christian Purslow (former managing director) and Hodgson, they signed seven players.[LNB]'Seven players is enough to change a squad, so you can take responsibility for signings in the past but seven players can change a squad. So you cannot continue with this story about the legacy.[LNB]'It's not my fault, sorry.'[LNB]12.19: This time two seasons ago Liverpool were in hot pursuit of a first league title since 1990 but such is their decline in fortunes, Wolves could join Blackpool as the second team this season to achieve the league double.[LNB]So whose fault is its? Many will point the finger at Roy Hodgson but one person who is not copping the blame is Rafael Benitez.[LNB]12.15: Uruguay were World Champions, Clement Attlee was Prime Minister and Paul McCartney would have been barely able to play three chords.[LNB]The year is 1950 and that was the last time Wolves achieved a league double over Liverpool. Having already recorded a 1-0 win at Anfield they are in a good position to end the sixty one year wait this afternoon.[LNB]Team news:[LNB]Wolverhampton v LiverpoolWolverhampton: Hennessey, Zubar, Stearman, Berra, Ward, Jarvis, Henry, Milijas, Hunt, Doyle, Fletcher.
