Re: Liverpool v West Ham Utd: match thread
Which is exactly where he played and looked very dangerous in the first hour against Watford. He ran all over their right back, absolutely terrorised him.Michail Antonio wrote: I would like to be a winger in a four, like a 4-4-2
But he had zero defensive responsibility as he had Cresswell playing directly behind him as an out and out left back.

Re: Liverpool v West Ham Utd: match thread
Some of their attacking play yesterday was incredible. They made Porto look like some 3rd or 4th division team, away at Anfield in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Salah's control for his effort! Sheesh.
This article analyses how they were set up, with Henderson, Milner and Wijnaldum providing the platform for the attacking trio.

Re: Liverpool v West Ham Utd: match thread
Liverpool are still hugely erratic, spectacular wins and unexpected defeats (Arsenal the same)......so predicting how we'll get on up there is difficult. Hoping for a point at best.

I honestly don't care what they did last night, they're just as capable of losing to sides at the bottom of the table.

I’ll be doing us all a favour and captaining Salah in my fantasy team.

Pretty tricky getting out quickly which ever way you go mate. Hasn't got the best links to and from the ground for either clubs.Knighter10WHU wrote:Any advice on getting out of Liverpool via car quickly after the match? Last time we went up this way for Everton a couple of years ago it took ages getting back to the motorway on that main road out of the city.

It does seem a bit of a pain, these pesky old style stadiums with unsuitable infrastructure! :lol: Seems like sitting in traffic is the only option.JLP123 wrote:

3 points at Anfield was, is, and always will be the league result I want more than any other.

Am I the only one who thinks this could be a return to the 80s when it was either a 3 nil or 6 nil defeat? :cry:

2-2 draw. Hugill gets his first goal. Wonder what the odds are for that?

It really isn't. Until Slav we hadn't won there in my lifetime. The West ham way is to concede shedloads at anfield.Eggs'n'nuts wrote:The West Ham way is to get some sort of result out of this. Really hope Manu is back and if he is and they can we can play a system accommodating him, Arnie, Chico and Mario, It could be quite interesting.
