Let’s take a break from Liverpool’s current dominance and rewind to a much rougher patch for the Reds — way back at the tail end of 2010.
Back then, it wasn’t about trophies or title runs.
It was about survival for Wolves… and serious pressure for Liverpool’s boss at the time, Roy Hodgson.
Mail Sport’s nostalgic football game Teamsheet is taking you back to that very moment — a night when bottom-of-the-table Wolves stunned Liverpool and broke a 27-year drought with a hard-fought win.
And now, it’s your turn to test how sharp your football memory really is.
The Setup: Wolves Pull Off a Shock at Anfield
The game in question saw Mick McCarthy’s Wolves earn their first victory over Liverpool in nearly three decades.
It was a low point for Hodgson’s Reds, who were sitting in a dismal 12th place in the Premier League table at the time.
Now, here’s your challenge: Can you remember which eleven players McCarthy sent out to pull off that famous win? That’s exactly what this edition of Teamsheet is asking you to recall.
The Challenge: Name the Starting XI
This isn’t your average quiz — Teamsheet puts your football brain to the test with a twist.
Your goal is to figure out the exact starting lineup that Wolves used that day. Don’t worry, it’s all in good fun.
Whether you’re playing solo or competing with friends, it’s about showing off your knowledge and maybe even learning something new.
You can choose any team and try to guess their starting eleven from a particular match in history.
But today, the spotlight is firmly on Wolves and that unforgettable night in 2010.
How to Play: Points, Guesses, and Strategy
Here’s how it works: you want to finish with the lowest score possible.
-
If you guess a player correctly on your first try, you score 1 point.
-
Each incorrect guess gives you clues — letters turn green if they’re in the right place, and yellow if they’re in the name but in the wrong spot.
-
You’ve got six guesses per player.
-
If you don’t get it right after six tries, the name is revealed — and you’ll be hit with 11 points for that player.
-
Need help? You can ask for a free letter — but it’ll cost you an extra point.
So in theory, the best possible total score you can achieve is 11 — one for each correct guess on the first try. Worst case? You miss them all and rack up 121 points.
Just for Fun — But Bragging Rights Are Real
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of that era or just enjoy a football challenge, Teamsheet is all about diving into the archives and testing your memory.
Share your score, challenge your mates, and see who’s the true football trivia king among you.
