West Ham v Liverpool Match Thread

[Tinto]

So so first half performance but very good in the second. Some luck went our way but we deserved the win.

Sky says 4 away wins in a row. Didn't think this Liverpool team in this form could manage that.

Missed the best game ever it seems. How did we play, was it Origi on the wing or two upfront?

Mostly two up front, with Coutinho further back dictating the play.

So Carragher reckons next week is Sturridges Anfield farewell.

GOing out after scoring a hat trick against Boro isn't a bad way to go.

Scoring a hat trick against Boro isn't a bad way to rejuvenate his Liverpool career either

Don't think he can physically cut it in this league anymore - unless he's ok being a super sub, which is highly unlikely.
I do wonder if should go for a move to Spain now ...

Very true, Spain or Italy where the pace isn't as fast.

Sturridge and Divock up front
Lallana in the hole

Coutinho and Wijnaldum in midfield

Can holding

The game was wide open for us because sturridge and divock pulled wide a lot and ran the defenders out of position, Lallana, Coutinho and Wijnaldum had all the time and space in the world.

Sturridge showed why hes so amazing with a great goal and a fantastic pull back after a lightning burst that led to Origi scoring but this was the Coutinho show. They couldnt get near the little wizard as he dropped deep and pulled the strings at will.

Defenders had fuck all to do, Mignolet was excellent at controlling his box again and all in all it was a perfect game.
Hit the woodwork 4 times could have scored 8 or 9

That Ayew double chance though, fucking hell..

Thanks. Really need to watch MOTD tonight.

Skip to the 2nd half...

Edit, maybe watch Studges goal.

No Firmino 🙁

Still easy 3-0 win coming up

1 goal out but I knew this would be a stroll.

I should get paid to post here

We were very good. It was nice to see us raise our game when we needed. West Ham were poor in terms of intensity and the team they could put out but Klopp also won the tactical battle. Today was arguably the second time Klopp had successfully deviated away from his standard plan A so it was nice to see it pay off. Coutinho excelled in the space in midfield caused by Sturridge and Origi stretching the play on an already large pitch. Coutinho was at his very best and was at the heart of everything positive we did. I hope Klopp understands the benefit of having Sturridge on the pitch. The first goal was so important and we were noticeably better afterwards. That has to take priority sometimes over number of sodding sprints completed.

Super performance.

Apparently the DoF at PSG is a big fan.

It will be very annoying if (or should I say when) he starts consistently playing well and scoring for another team.

Hope we get a decent fee at least.

Nah - I'd be happy for him if he is healthy with someone else outside of England. He's not a bad kid, just terrible luck.
If he scores for fun at PSG, thats cool as long as they don't play us!
