Liverpool - West Ham pre match thread

[Hansern]

West Ham missing Kouyate (who has probably been their best player) and Collins (who always plays a blinder against us) today. Antonio is back and Carroll will probably start.
West Ham have got enough attacking talent to cause us problems but lets hope we outscore them today.

We need 3 points.

 

[hmmmmm1]

We can't screw this up

 

[FoxForceFive]

We can't screw this up

I'm fucking positive we can. Years of experience watching Liverpool fuck up has taught me that much.

Hopefully we won't though.

More lamp today please. Get it on early and give it a chance to do it's stuff. No point giving it 5 minutes at the end and expecting miracles.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

We need Andy's cock ... just saying.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Tbf lamp would have been on anyway, it'll be almost dark by 4 probably. But yeah, I'll have it on by 4 to work it's magic.

Nervous cuz of karius. Thankfully wh defensive is as bad as ours

Yeah, but they have a good attack.

Which means this could likely turn into a "We'll score one more than you" heart attack inducing shitstorm again.

I do love Klopp & the way he has us play, but fuck it'd be nice if we could close out games playing possession football without bombing on. Although I suspect it may be down to personnel as much as the manager.

 

[cloggypop]

Yeah, but they have a good attack.

Can't be that good if Zaza makes it onto the pitch occasionally. He's about as bad a striker as I've seen in the Premier League.

 

[cloggypop]

Anyway, 8-3 us. Zaza hattrick.

 

[Modo]

We have to make some crap player look like he's world class don't we?

 

[FoxForceFive]

We're charitable like that.

Sometimes we feel extra generous, buy them for silly money & pay them ridiculous wages to fail here.

 

[cloggypop]

I'm getting Andy Carroll here.

 

[Comical Aly]

Anyway, 8-3 us. Zaza hattrick.

I've got a feeling today is the 8-3 day.

It is Christmas after all.

 

[Hansern]

Not one away win so far this round. So if anything can go wrong it probably will..

 

[Modo]

 

[Modo]

Can is injured.

 

[cloggypop]

There's not a lot of attacking threat to change a match around on that bench.

 

[Hansern]

Minor knee injury.

Just saw that we havent beaten a London club at home for the last 6 games. Time to change thst record today

 

[Insignificance]

There's not a lot of attacking threat to change a match around on that bench.

Was thinking the same. Need to finish this one off early.

 

[manwithnoname]

Can injured? Other than that, looks a decent team, given the available players

Bench is weak, but great to see Matip back and Lucas where he belongs

Let's pray that the hapless Klarius can get through a game without fucking something up, and Firmino could do with scoring a goal in the Premiership too, so hopefully he can deliver today, although I hope he is allowed to play more centrally rather than stick to the wing, where he always struggles

Badly need three points and a good defensive display

 

[Insignificance]

Grujic still out?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

If Firmino is on the left (or right) flank, he'll be kak unfortunately.
Just hope he scores a goal or two

 

[cloggypop]

RIP Firmino's top knot. YNWA.

 

[Hansern]

If Firmino is on the left (or right) flank, he'll be kak unfortunately.
Just hope he scores a goal or two

The man bun is off! That surely means a goal or two!

 

[Dave G]

what is happening with Grujic ??

 

[Hansern]

Injured.

 

[Hansern]

West Ham with a very attacking minded line up. Could be loads of goals in this one.

Ayew as the striker/false 9?

 

[mark1975]

Great to have Lallana back. I hope we see more of Woodburn too.
