Liverpool midfielder Allen admits frustration with Bolton stalemate

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen admitted frustration after their FA Cup stalemate with Bolton Wanderers.

The Wales international was named in Brendan Rodgers' starting XI for the first time since the defeat to Manchester United in December as the Reds welcomed Neil Lennon's side to Anfield.

"There's a feeling of disappointment because we thought we did enough to get the goal to win the game, but unfortunately it wasn't to be," Allen told Liverpoolfc.com. "Despite that, I thought there were certainly some positives to take.

"Bogdan deserves plenty of credit - as does the rest of the Bolton team - he pulled off some good saves. I thought they came here organised and worked really, really hard.

"They still carried a little bit of a threat, which always kept us on our toes going the other way. They earned a replay, but we look forward now to going there and doing the job there."
