Liverpool vs West Ham United: Match Thread

[banditos]

Nice win against clearly the worst team in the league. They made us look like championship contenders. Kudos to Maix, Raul and Johnson.

Raul looks a proper player in the middle. He's got to stay there.

No coincidence that he played CM today, and we totally controlled the game.

Obviously, West Ham being utterly inept, also helped

[Craig_H]

It's blue mate.

More purple, no?

[Fosterbloke]

"The mighty Napoli" , Roy come on

They're 4th in their league with the chance to go 3rd which is above Inter, Juventus and Roma. Hardly **** is it?

[Craig_H]

And Bolton are 4th in the PL.

Like Napoli, they have no chance of staying there.

[Darkon]

****ing hell West Ham are wank. Even Poulsen is hitting 30 yarders on target.

Chuffed to see Aurelio get a run out.

Know a lot are surprised about it due to the general bandwagon idea that Poulsen is **** because Hodgson signed him, and building it on nothing else, but he has actually mad long passes and shots like that the last ~10 years.

He will be a decent signing if given time, not great, but a decent signing.

Either spurs or the scum are going to win the league, everyone else are totally **** with no balls.....looking at you arsenal

[Craig_H]

Spurs

West Ham are feckin dire - I'm not sure if we were good or they made us look good - I can't remember seeing them that poor

West Ham actually looked like they were employing Hodgson tactics

IE just let the opposition do what the **** they want and hope they dont score

[Lecter]

If Roy could get a grip and play high tempo in all our games we'd have a chance of 4th.

So there is no chance of us getting 4th then

West Ham were shocking

In the odd halves were we have played well (Chelsea, Blackburn, West Ham) I'm not sure if we have been that great of just the opposition have been ****e that day. However I will give Roy the benefit of the doubt on that knowing full well that another monumental **** up is just round the corner....

Oh and Meireles looks a tidy player with better players around him I think he could be really good

[The Birdman]

I'm happy we won but until we put in a number of decent performance away from home (i.e actually try to attack and win the game) and play with attacking flair and verve at home against good sides its all still nowhere near good enough.

Beating West Ham at home 3-0 used to be expected (by used to I mean over the last 4-5 years)
It certainly isn't a sign that Hodgson is anything other than a terrible, terrible manager for LFC

[Rich]

Decent first half from us but let's not beat around the bush - West Ham are utter garbage.

Poulsen and Konchesky were, and I'm being generous here, average at best. If you put pressure on either player then they make mistakes, West Ham just didn't do that.

Plus points were obviously Johnson going forward, Meireles playing central, and Maxi's lovely controlled header.

I cannot see West Ham staying up if they play like that every week.

[Vermilion]

Hated how Hodgson picked out Poulsen for praise. Like this one game justified the purchase.

Thank **** it was only West Ham in the form they are in.
