West Ham v Liverpool Match Thread

[Modo]

At least Lucas is doing his job in midfield

 

[Dahuge]

The difference here is that they are putting proper tackles in an harrying us, we are doing nothing apart from giving them the ball

 

[FoxForceFive]

Some fucker sold Fabio a ticket didn't they?

 

[DHSC]

Whats the point of playing Lucas if he's not playing at the base of the diamond.

 

[FoxForceFive]

it's feeling a little like that Houllier period when David James was in nets with a load of shite defenders in front of him and we were susceptible to any high ball

nowhere near as bad but still

Nah, you're spot on, & is that bad.

Anything in the air & were fucked.

 

[Whirly]

I'm thinking Lovren is more of a shouter than a leader/organizer at this stage.

 

[Mors]

Too many new faces in the first team, it's fucking us up, we look disjointed. We've been playing most games with 5+ new faces.

 

[Modo]

I doubt that we can come back from this.

 

[Leo]

Gerrard getting raped by Stewie.
It's embarrassing.

 

[FoxForceFive]

They're pressing so high up the pitch.

Allardayce has played this well to his credit.

 

[Skullflower]

at least i saw all this coming.

 

[are we back?]

Fancy boy northerners getting thumped hard by gritty southerners....

 

[Fabio]

at least i saw all this coming.

I expectied counter attacks, not just to be battered

 

[Modo]

Gerrard needs to wake up

 

[Markeh]

Nah, you're spot on, & is that bad.

Anything in the air & were fucked.

I'd like to be wrong

Look at that smug fucker Allardyce

 

[Silver Sean]

As I, and others, alluded to last season. Our keeper is worse than average. Dreadful buy. And Louvren is an upgrade on Agger how?

 

[gene hughes]

This season could feel very long compared to last season.

 

[Dahuge]

The biggest problem so far is it's sideways, sideways, backwards long punt lose ball. Oh and it is soooooooo slow

 

[Farkmaster]

I just got back late, I'd like to pretend this isn't real.

A large part of the magic has gone to Barcelona, if that wasn't rhetorical. We're playing a setup built around a player that isn't here. We will struggle to be near as productive in attack, but we're just as open in defense, and they'll come at us more, because there's less to be frightened by. All that momentum and confidence isn't a strategy.

Rodgers has some work to do, some of the issues have been obvious, even when we were winning, they're even more obvious now.

Now, its still only West Ham, and we still have enough quality to put something together here.

 

[FoxForceFive]

This season could feel very long compared to last season.

Yep. Everyone now knows they can lob crosses in like bombs destroying our defence.

 

[Markeh]

I don't think I have ever witnessed a player just run into the back of other people as much as Lucas does

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

West Ham is playing such a high line. They've got Downing 1-on-1 on Stevie, stifling his space to dictate things from the back.

And they are pressing us.

They look like they are playing our game against us. What a joke.

 

[cloggypop]

This Downing bloke looks quite good.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Adrian was bang out of order after that incident.

 

[Modo]

I don't think I have ever witnessed a player just run into the back of other people as much as Lucas does

He's closing them down.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Glad Adrian got a booking too.

 

[acejmk]

Gerrard is awfull he just seems to get worse at the minute and well we are awfull 🙁

 

[Wiberg]

Nothing good will happen until we get a class act at HM.

 

[Farkmaster]

This cunt is going to give a yellow to both because he has no idea, right?

 

[Markeh]

to be fair Adrian kicked Balotelli
