Think we'll need Morgan or Yesil on just to give the hammers something to think about. Mabey a half each. Shelvey will be better employed a bit deeper as an attacking center mid. Gerrard can then get further forward and Lucas can sit in front of the back 4. We need to get at the hammers midfield and defenders quickly. Close down their space to cut out the long balls forward. Sure we can do these and have to agree a 2 - 1 win for us is a good shout.  Think we are due a Shelvey THUNDERBOLT and a goal from Gerrard too. Think theirs might be a late deflected o.g. some how.           Now what the f**k makes me think that ?             Never crossed my mind before.

Have to agree eiht this. I don't want to see Shelvey playing up top, yes he may have got a gaol last time out against limp Europa League opposition but he's not the answer for me. I'd rather see young Morgan given another opportunity or if we're going to use a false 9 then let Sterling, Suso or even Gerrard play the role. I'd prefer a player with more mobility in the role.

As for the game, not feeling the most confident meself. Important we score first I think and then perhapos the 1-0 could be on.

If we fail to win this, it'd mean we only won 25% of our games.

not a surprise.

Going for a 4-0 win with downing scoring three and cole coming on scoring one. 

Disappointed to see Downing getting the nod ahead of Suso and Assaidi not even on the bench.

Other than that it's how I expected us to start.

Positiveness at its finest.

West Ham's line up:

WHU Team - Jaaskelainen ; Demel, Tomkins, Reid, O'Brien ; Diame, Noble ; Taylor, Nolan, Jarvis ; Cole

Downing again? Assaidi? Suso? I feel someone will frustrate me to death tonight

Downing ? for real ?What has gone into BR. This cannot be faith. He must be starting him a few games so we can offload him in January.

Not sure what Downing's doing in there but in Brendan I trust. Come on reds!

Surly you would not take the chance of playing Downing just to sell him, it will come back to haunt the manager

Downing for hat-trick

C'mon the reds.

I think he's starting him because he gave Enrique and Downing a real kick up the bollocks start of season. Enrique has been excellent recently so maybe he feels Downing can do the same.

Enrique has responded, Downing hasn't.

Let's hope today is the day he does.

I fancy Jonjo to score today.

Come on redmen hope were not moaning about lack of strikers after this one lets do this Liverpool the only way is up !!

Yet again Downing comes out moaning about not being given chances and he then starts the next game. Pattern occurring maybe? He will be captain in no time

Does anybody have any news on Assaidi?

Enrique has responded, Downing hasn't.

Let's hope today is the day he does.

I fancy Jonjo to score today.

I hope so but ........ we will see at full time

Shelvey to score two today, clean sheet for Reina, lets go Redmen!

Gerrard has to stand up today and boss the midfield

its fucken West Ham, lets make these cu*ts feel foolish!

Gerrard has to stand up today and boss the midfield

Yeah mate he needs a big showing, as do the other two in the center. We have to win that area of the field today

FSC reporter pulled these two tidbits out: Liverpool have yet to win a league game after European matches this season. 0 in 8 tries. That's gotta change sometime right? Think today is it

Raheem Sterling turned 18 yesterday only 4 premier league players had more starts before their 18th bithday- Gareth Barry, Cesc Fabregas, Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen

2-0, birthday boy and Glen Johnson on the scoresheet for me
