Pre match: Liverpool v West Ham - EPL - Anfield, Saturday March 5th, K.O. 17.30

Back at it then

For me, this is one of the tricky games left.They are decent and can dig in to make it awkward.

We will need Mo, Sadio Diaz etc buzzing here. Could be a massive 24 hours here, if we win and utd can nick anything off city were in the drivers seat.

Anfield needs to be what it is on European nights for this, make west ham wilt

Think that’s the team all being fit , think we need Thiago and Bobby back asap, Jota can slot into that front three in any game , Diaz staying fit will be a massive lift to this squad in the run in all to play for reds .

Any news on the fitness of Thiago ? dunno if his injury was that serious, serious enough obviously for him to miss the final but perhaps it was more precautionary to leave him out ?

If he is fit to start he slots in for me next to Fabinho & Hendo, if not I think Brian you have hit it on the head, although I’d have Mane or Jota through the middle and Diaz or Mane wide left, nice dilemma to have me thinks, and clearly cannot make up my mind 😂,

WHu have been very good this Campaign but I think they have peaked already and for me have gone off the boil, that doesn’t mean they won’t give us something  to worry about because they really are a danger and if not careful could scupper our chance for the title, we just need to keep winning and we have become very adept at that,


I think Citeh WILL drop more points whether that’s against the MUtants it doesn’t really matter, I just think they will at some point before facing us, hopefully they do and then we can all watch Pep spontaneously combust on his home touch line as we rip his egotistical maniacs a new sphincter, we will know then who will take the title, anyhoo I’m rambling as usual so don’t like getting too far ahead, not good for the soul,


Expecting a tough game V Hammers but the quality we have will shine through and be the difference in the end.

3-1 Champions elect

I actually think Mane is the one who should be dropping out with Jota in but think the boss will go with him

probably gonna miss this, I shall be in the cinema watching batman with my son.

Hopefully we give these a skudding, but suspect it could be close.

You have a weird sense of priorities my friend.  Spending time with your son should take precedence, but Batman over Liverpool?

Watching the game at the pub works too, just sayin'... 
In all seriousness, enjoy the special occasion!

CHEERS

We owe them a beating after the game at the London Stadium. That was horrible to lose to them like that.

They’re top notch with set pieces so have to be ready.

I can see Salah and Mane wanting to get on the scoresheet.

Yep think that's spot on with team

I reckon Jota plays at the expense of Sadio or Diaz. He has earned it with his performances this season and clearly fit to start given he wasn’t out long. I get the feeling Diaz will be on the bench personally.

Don’t think Thiago makes this, think Klopp intimated Inter game was more realistic but who knows.

I always base on past game who was subbed,rested etc . Be very surprised  if Diaz on bench

Our first game with them was one of the few this season where we really weren't at the races (and still close at the end). Hope to see us make amends for that one.

Can't see anything but a win here. Not sure how we do it, but we have to.

How about Salah, Mane, Jota and Diaz all scoring?

I don’t care if Robbo has a hat trick as long as we win 👌

This could be another close game, although take us to win especially at home. Keep putting the pressure on City, very much in the title race as things stand.

Over the last season or so, we've been making a right meal out of our games vs West Ham, in the game this season we literally let them physically bully us and we paid the price. We went a couple of years stuffing 4 past them with ease everytime we played, lets get back to a confident performance and get back to winning ways vs these. After all, it's a team managed by Moyes for christ sake.

Ahh hes done a lot job with them to be fair they are solid with some decent ability in midfield and forward areas.

Rice is an obvious name but Jarrod Bowen is the real one to take out of their team and obviously Antonio is a real pain.

We have home advantage and we should be starting fast out the blocks here.

Usually do well home to these, but they're a tricky proposition of late.

Think it'll be a tough one as we've got a lot of mileage in the legs the past 2 months.

I'm in the Kop again for this one (woo hoo!!!) and have never seen the reds lose a match live, so expect that record to continue with a narrow, hard-fought 2-1 victory with goals from Diaz & Salah.

COME ON YOU MIGHTY REDS!!
