West Ham build up

[Shaggy]

Still can't believe we ****ed up at Hull

Everton away at Arsenal. Good chance for us to either close the gap or increase it on the Bitters. Southampton at home to City, Moyesey's motley crew play Newcastle, and Spurs are away at Sunderland.

An absolute must win again.

They will probably play 4-6-0 and use every free kick, no matter where it's taken from, as a chance to fill our box with big men. Sakho in?

[Alex]

You would have to think this is a good chance to revert back to 3 at the back and the 2 wing backs filling in defensively.

Don't agree with that.

West Ham will play with 1 up front if that so you will have 3 against 1. 2 CB's twiddling their thumbs whilst we are light in other areas.

Same formation as Norwich with us pushing the full backs much further on than at Hull.

They are short on confidence and have had trouble scoring we should look to control the game and impose ourselves upon them.

[Assassin]

The WHU coach and all of the travelling fans coaches will be parked on the pitch at Anfield. We need to have our most offensive team on the pitch to find our way past the barracade

If everyone is fit I'd try to keep the same back five. Sakho must start again challenging for the first team spot.

The midfield was working well so keep it as it was, maybe Lucas in for Gerrard if he is tired.

I think Sterling was nothing special, but, it could be a big goal for him last week so we should maybe give him a chance to build on it as we are home.

So to sum up Hoping for little changes.

[The Birdman]

I'd bring Sakho in, Rodgers won't.
I'd leave Lucas as a sub, Rodgers won't.

[Sarb]

Need to play with some serious width in this game. They'll pack the centre of midfield. Could be an extremely frustrating game.

No point playing Lucas. I doubt they'll attack very much on the deck. Hope Sakho starts but again agree with Birdman. He probably won't.

[Gibbo]

West Ham play using the wings, so Flanno could have a game on his hands, especially if they go at him like Hull did.

I don't think Brendan will change the pairing at the back, reckon we will deffo see Lucas for Allen though.

[PTP]

another must win, like every game

but it's vital we get 6 points here

that cunting loss to hull is just so sickening - especially with spurs/chelsea/city away coming up.

we simply have to beat West Ham and Cardiff.

I would wan't us to go with this:

---------------Mignolet---------------
Johnson - Skrtel - Sakho - Flanders
------Hendo - Gerrard - Allen-------
---Sterling - Suarez - Coutinho-----

As an alternative:
---------------Mignolet---------------
Johnson - Skrtel - Sakho - Flanders
------------Lucas-Allen---------------
---Henderson---------Gerrard-------
--------------Coutinho---------------
-------------Suarez------------------

They will try to bully us in midfield, and how that goes will determine the outcome of the match IMO. Allen and Hendo with their pressing, could give us a platform to perform if they win the ball back close to goal.

[Fosterbloke]

Glad Morrison isn't playing, he's pretty good!

I think we need to load the strikers up top and shoot on site!

Allen, Coutinho and Alberto would be good as they can keep the ball moving under pressure, crucial for the packed midfield of WHU.

Right now I'd drop Henderson for Alberto

We need to show better organization than we did against Hull. Still have no better idea what our best backline is. I'd definitely worry about Skrtel against whichever lump Alladyce instructs to bounce off our CBs (I'd imagine Carlton Cole).

We should aim to be as attacking as possible whilst retaining some midfield structure.

[Mostar]

Don't agree with that.

Same here.

2 CBs and 2 fullbacks is what I'd play and probably drop Skrtel and bring Sakho in but then again we break CB pairing once again and bring more instability.

Another problem is what do we do with our midfield and our attack, which with exception of Suarez I thought were mediocre yesterday for the most part.

Lucas was rested this game but I cannot see him rested vs WHU and Allen played decent so I am not sure he deserves to be dropped again as Stevie seems to be indispensible for BR.

Also I'd like to see Alberto start but BR likes Hendo's ability to press and track back but he doesn't give us much offensively.

I'd like to see Aspas upfront instead of Sterling but he doesn't seem to be fit enough to play long minutes.

Lots of questions all in all.

[REDSCOUSER]

Get an early goal and they will fold, easy as.

WHU have not won a point this season after going behind.

I'd keep the same side that battered Nowrich last night.
