Liverpool vs West Ham 19/10/22 - 19:30

Really enjoyed our goal going in just as the west ham fans had started singing that fucking dirge they call the national anthem.

 

 

[Code]

Playing in wind like that is never nice.

 

We’re back, only 7 points behind City now. 

[El Rojo]

Great to get the three points. Would have taken a lot of the shine off Sunday for me if we'd dropped points tonight, and we were probably always going to be a bit flat after the effort and high of Sunday. 

 

Another type of test on Saturday morning now.

Fab has been horrific, his legs are gone.

Said at the start of the Season it was a shame some fucker didn't come in and offer us decent money for him.

[Kevin D]

Good result.

Playing the last 15 minutes with only 1 forward was concerning, though, and I’m pretty worried about the squad’s ability to continue playing 2 games every week.

[gkmacca]

A very tired-looking performance but we won, so great. A crucial result.

No they're not. Bloody hell, the nonsense goes on.

Thankfully we only have about what 4 weeks until it all stops for that pile of shite in Qatar.

 

As much as i hate idea of break and don't give a shite about world cup (ingerlund hopefully getting humiliated aside) it is likely going to be a good thing for us - and hopefully Jota/Diaz will be fit by time we restart and then we have Jan to hopefully do something about midfield....

I don't get people raging about our performance - it wasn't bad. West Ham played really well. 

For about 30 minutes in the first half, our attacking play was what the commentators call "sumptuous". We should have been 3 or 4 up at half-time.

 

The second half was flat, but we got through it - three points, clean sheet, no new injuries. That'll do.

[A Red]

I do wonder if nows the time to move trent forward a bit into midfield 

[J-V]

Bezos, instead of wasting a billion on the utter shit Ribgs of power you should put all our games on.

Considering how shit we've been that's quote a surprise. 

 

Really hope we can keep up this good form, if we're within touching distance by January then our reinforcements of Bellingham and Mbappe should be enough to get us over the line.

Hendeson went in for and won a 50/50 first half. Scenes.

He did. Haven’t seen that from him in a few years. I dont rate him at all, but had a decent game tonight. Very good in the pressing and sensible and effective distribution. Still, once Thiago leaves the field we lack the movement, vision and quality to play our way out from the back. Midfield still needs a massive overhaul.

The main thing we lack in midfield is intensity, pressing and quick feet and positional awareness to win second balls. Trent is as far from the solution to that as you’ll get.

A bit of creativity wouldn't go amiss.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Our record is now 4-4-2. Coincidence?

Agree. He brings that from RB, and maybe he could do the same in midfield. But a lot of the other qualities you need from a top midfielder isn’t there from what I’ve seen at least.

[gkmacca]

Rice would be a really good signing for us. The right age, the right role.

[bossy]

Great until their penalty and you’d think Ali’s save would have given us a boost. Nunes was fantastic I thought, powerful, committed in attack and defence, with a great goal to show for it. Second half was awful but losing two players like Jota and Diaz is going to limit our options, so all things considered I’ll fucking take this win happily.
We are shit at tackling though and at times West Ham we’re passing round us like a training session. Everybody worked their socks off so  although Trent and Fab were concerning at times, we are at least working hard and 3 points is our reward. Stop making stupid decisions though, eh reds.

You may be right but it wouldn't surprise me if klopp tries him out, he's too good to not have a role. It could be just the new lease of life he needs

He'd get bullied and constantly bypassed as he jogs and doesn't close down the loose ball.

[Section_31]

Good win that. 1-nil wins give me a hard on. They get the job done while also upsetting liverpool fans from London and Malaysia who used to support Barcelona.
