West Ham v Liverpool (Match Thread)

[Insidious]

Henderson actually looks a decent CB he managed his partner through the game as well. Nat went with Antonio and Hendo was behind to mop up.

It's encouraging to see what he can do there, particularly given how much possession we keep.

I'd love Henderson to be around with us for a long while and his style of play in midfield when it comes to accelerations and ground coverage will have a certain time limit on it, but if he was an "option" there in the latter stages of his career it would be great.

Hope all those who jumped on Mo's back and called those of us who defended him, Salah 'fanboys' have been taught a lesson in football. Never ever get complacent when you have World-class players in your team. Mo is one of the very best and he's ours.

Give him the love he deserves!

Completely agree, we've been so blessed with strikers over the years...and Mo continues it. Some people need to respect us olders who know things

Spot on mate.

Some results fell nicely for us elsewhere too.

They really did - temporarily 5 points clear of 5th place which is good - ideally we could reach that without anyone behind us having games in hand, then eventually build it up to a 7-point gap.

The 25-match mark isn't far away and for anyone trying to catch us after that they will be working against the season's clock. We're just that much closer to forgetting about the panic button ("what if we miss Top Four?") and hopefully we can put that to bed as the season goes on.

City's form and lack of injuries still makes them favourites for the League but if we finished top of the table of the 19 other sides with everything that has happened I think we could be extremely proud.

Spot on most teams are scared shitless of us.

I just dont get why West Ham wouldnt attack them.

I thought it was strange they abandoned how they've been playing to sit off us like that, especiallyat home. Did them no favours at all.

Gini absolutely superb again today Doc?

nope

Moyes init he has fell into the trap of thinking bus parking is a point against us.

You know the style that pundits say is a masterclass when it works today it didnt and you have that moron Tyler asking what has happened twat.

[faridtoxteth]

nope

Come on mate, don't be like that. Gini was brilliant today.

That second Salah goal...it was Suarez-esque. I know Suarez has got his haters on here, and i undersatnd why, but I had to think of that goal he scored Kop end against Newcastle.

Gini was superb and he got the third!
