Match Thread West Ham V Liverpool

[Gurthers]

We actually won a gane. Even more shocking, we didn't conceded. Genuinely mind boggled and also delighted!

[Nineteenx]

We have to win.

I think so, great win, did you think we were better organised without Salah? We played more as a team.

[pob]

Thank fuck for that. Massive result. Lot's of positives; clean sheet, goal for Isak and wirtz actually looking like a footballer.

[redgold]

Somehow we are only 4 points from second...

Relegation is avoided!

[justme]

Not many candidates for man of the match. I'll go for Kerkez looked more of the business today

Bizarre!

Gomez motm for me, for the big difference he made to the functionality of the team.

He was nowhere near his man too much of the time allowing them to attack and his delivery was piss poor as ever he drove the ball forward well a couple of times second half

Probably Grav or Isak for me, Grav made a few vital interceptions and used the ball well and drove it forward very well at times Slot really has to work on players moving to support these runs

Isak was more combative, pressed a lot better, linked a lot better and scored a superb Fowleresque finish too

[Nineteenx]

Slot needs to learn from today and not revert to what made us slide backwards to be bottom of the pile at so many things so quickly and when I say and not I mean never

There’s a shit load of work needed on the training field to get back all the things his half arsed idea have wrecked

[Lenouis]

Just seen highlights. Smart instinctive finish by Isak

[Insidious]

Now down to three.

I've mentioned our points tally being more relevant (for now) than our position in the Table on a number of occasions this season and it's good to see us just that tiny bit closer to the top. I'm not naive enough to think we're suddenly going to win 10 on the spin and be top in February, but it's lovely to have the glimmers of hope of retaining Champion's League football presence for the 26/27 season and also crossing fingers and toes to get the gap on Arsenal down to 6 points at some stage rather than the gap of 9 we currently live with.

that's why he starts over ekiteke... cough

NO I DIDN'T ASK HIM TO COME OFF

No.. And once again Kev for the record… he should NEVER have started over Ekitike - who was absolutely flying. Small club mentality that AND it served 2 dumb as fuck purposes. Totally lost Hugo’s momentum, knocked his confidence ...AND put an unfit player into games he could not affect - leading to huge part of the problem we have suffered in front of goal for a good while now. It also put Isak under far more pressure than was needed, while he was chasing fitness.

Isak being a superb natural striker has literally nothing to do with the timing and sequence of events that were "'handled" in about as daft a way as it was possible to..

Switch brain on

I love winding you up, I thought the last bit gave it away

Relax Steveyboy, have a lie down
