Coyle eager for Bolton to press on after Liverpool win

Bolton boss Owen Coyle is hoping his side can kick on after last week's big win over Liverpool.

The Trotters defeated the Reds 3-1 at the Reebok Stadium last Saturday - a performance Coyle feels his side didn't get enough credit for - and he is eager for his players to kick on starting with tomorrow's FA Cup fourth round meeting with Swansea City.

"We didn't get the credit we were due for our performance because everyone seemed to be saying Liverpool didn't do well; well sometimes you're not allowed to do well because of the pressure the opposition puts on you, and we showed great quality," Coyle said.

"Sometimes when you play the elite clubs you have to ride your luck, but nothing could be further from the truth, from start to finish we dominated that game.

"We've got a big game on Saturday and if we win that then that would cap off a very good week. We've got a tough cup tie against a very good Swansea side but one we're looking forward.

"They're a team that can pass and move the ball with the very best. They've got some terrific players, Brendan is a terrific man and someone I've got a lot of time for, but we'll be going all out to try to progress to the last 16."
