Pre-match: West Ham V Liverpool [Sunday November 7th, 16:30]

NB: Team no longer available

I would drop AOC for Thiago. Robertson and Mane back to starting XI.

Craig Pawson will referee West Ham v Liverpool on Sunday with Stuart Attwell on VAR.

The hammers playing well, can see this being a cracking game to watch as a neutral. Any tips on scores Clint  . I've gone for the traditional 2-1 on this

I lost some steam last four games. I'm predicting a win since we have Klopp in the dugout

Tough game coming up here. But confident we will get the win.

I think this could be an entertaining game on Sunday. West Ham seemingly playing well under "The Chosen One", as ever I am going for a Reds away victory, our away form has been brilliant this season !

Cant see anything but a win here its "The Chosen One" after all. Think Ox is injured so Thiago, Heno and Fab is perfect.

Der! Really  No heads up then

Injured again?

Not sure Thiago ready to complete 90 mins so depends which we he goes with starting or bringing on . Bobby out for I reckon 4 weeks min starting to pick  a few injuries now with his muscles and with Afcon approaching not ideal

Was not aware of Ox being injured. If he's healthy then i'd start him ahead of Thiago who may not be ready for a full 90. Plus he played well against Atletico and would be deserving of continued game time.

Massive game this. Confident of the win for us,
Need to show them we are real contenders snd they are also rans.
3:1 to the Red men,  looks like we’ve been forced into playing what is probably our strongest 11.

When we are on form, there’s very few sides that will live with us. Just need to keep the tempo up and not get too complacent when we are ahead !

yea. never knew ox was Injured?

Just seen Bobby is out for a month, but 2 weeks of that is internationals, so wont miss too many games for us.

We will be 6 points off the top when we ko ... this is a must win game.

Team on the OP is the obvious one. Possession, defend well and take our chances and I can see 3 points. Be tough though if we are not on our game.

West Ham away at the moment is third hardest fixture we could face so it will be a really helpful tough one. Moyes was a laughing stock at one point but credit where it’s due he’s done an excellent job with them and got them playing good, intense football.

Really hope Thiago can start this one, if he pulls off the masterclass he did against Leeds then we’ve got a great chance at three points.

No mention of an ox Injury by klopp today.

Jones & gomez still out as well as Naby, milner and bobby.

Must win because of "The Chosen One". Although he’s switched a few clubs… I still can’t let go. It’s funny how things work… the feeling’s still the same. Still want to get one over him. This is going to be fun. It’s not enough to win. "The Chosen One" must keep losing…

Fully respectfully of West Ham, Moyes has a good solid team there, however, I compare them to what Leicester were when we went and battered them 0-4 at the Kingpower, I’m not saying this is what will happen but we are well capable,
It’s brilliant having Fabinho & Thiago back in the side, that’s indeed if both play, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if AOC keep his berth and Thiago comes off the bench, he’s pivotal to our midfield especially now that we are light, so I’d prefer to ease him back rather than  expect him to play at his best so soon, losing him again doesn’t bare thinking about !

Was impressive with AOC V Atleti, it’s been said  that Jürgen had a word with him prior to KO, and that seems to have had a positive affect, IF Alex can get back to somewhere near his best then what a boost that will be, this is the  kind of game that you can steal a possible March on rivals, taking three points on Sunday will stand us in good stead , I can see WHU, taking points of City & Chavs, so winning there is vital,



                                                                   
                                                        Alisson
                                         Trent    Matip  Virgil   Robbo
                                               Hendo      Fabinho
                                                       Thiago
                                            Salah                Mane
                                                         Jota

            Bench; Kelleher, Tsimikas, AOC, Minamino, Konate, Origi, Gomez, Morton,Neco



Tough game this, goes within saying, but the way we are playing will worry them, we are currently the only unbeaten side in five of the top leagues in Europe both in the CL and domestically, i believe that will still be the case come Monday AM, I think we have a more attacking  feel to us this term and that won’t change , so I’m expected us to go at them from the off and apply the pressure immediately,  they are a dangerous outfit but we have Fab back and he’ll be instrumental in how we keep them out,


Sticking my neck out but I’m going for a 0-3 convincing and statement making win !!!

Just seen Bobby is out for a month, but 2 weeks of that is internationals, so wont miss too many games for us.

Month minimum I would think

We'll win this 3-0. I'm back to the point of expecting wins every time out. Shouldn't matter too much who plays, we are rolling right now. COYR

Apparently Ox was taken off to protect him he should be available on Sunday so good news for a change.
Regardless cant see W.Ham being too strong for us and Mo will be looking to score a few having blanked for two games.

Think we have been a little lucky against West Ham as of late, we must very professional on Sunday. COYR

Hate playing these cu*ts.

But we like playing in London so I reckon we will come away with all 3 points. 1-2 to us.

Month minimum I would think

Yea seeing reports Bobby could miss 9 games, probably be in time for Salah and mane buggering off to Africa though. 🤣

Looks that way 6 weeks is a long time hopefully back for Busy Christmas period

I see West Ham as a side who can play decent footy but don’t often overwhelm sides. They don’t play through sides too often either, but they do score their fsir share of scrappy goals. I’m thinking if we get at them snd press well, we are gonna get the win.
I’m that confident, I’ve changed my prediction to 3:0 to the Red Men !

I hope Chelsea's draw is extra motivation.

Gotta win now and take advantage of Chelsea losing a couple points.

Yep would probably go with that.
Feel like we're a bit better in the away PL matches, get a little more space in the final third, so hoping for 3 points tomorrow.
WH are playing well, but so are we.
And Jota, Mane and Salah are looking properly dangerous.
Hopefully Fab and Hendo line out again in the middle.

Unlike last week when we didn't take advantage of other results please take advantage this week

As much as I've criticised Chamberlain this season I'd be tempted to play him again after the mid week game.

Fabinho, Henderson and Chamberlain three and the rest picks itself almost apart from a debate on who partners Virgil and who plays LB.

I'd go Tsimikas and Matip.

I’d like to see Tsimikas get a run of games.  He’s a real battler and his crossed are top drawer.
Not sure Ox has shown enough consistency at the mo. I’d play safe with Hendo Fab and Tiago.
Tiago might not make 90 mins, so Ox could come on around 70 to reinject some pace and drive into their box.
Matip clearly the safest bet alongside VVD from previous performances so far.

Get the 3 points lads!

Massive game, huge! West Ham in fine form, Fornals is quality and Rice has been incredible this season.

Not going to be easy at all. Hoping to see a proper battle, they are great with set pieces but so are we.

We can do this

Won’t be easy, West Ham are playing well and Moyes has them set up really well. 3 points will leave us 1 point behind Chelsea after yesterday’s result. Get at them from the off, just do what we do best and I’m certain the 3 points will be ours!

The way Klopp talking Robbo will play this and only toss up is Ox or Thiago as he won't play 90 so does he start or come on

It should be a good game today, with plenty to play for, West Ham like to attack, which will suit our style of play. Feel we will see a few goals today with the Reds coming out on top !

It's mind blowing how "The Chosen One" got them playing this well. Let's get one over him.

Should be a strong away win this... would be fab to see more of Konate at the back IMO... looked impressive against Brighton recently *even if we didn't keep a clean sheet you know.  Mo's in blistering form still! I bet the hardest part on Klopp's job at the front is who you drop 🤣

Goes without saying Moyes has got Hammers rocking, and fair play to them, but when you look at the level of quality we're miles in front,  ok yes it's 11V11 but it's what you can do with your 11 that will make the difference,
Aside from perhaps Chavs & City there isn't any other club that can deal with the intensity we bring to the table,
It's not just how we press it's how we work to win the ball back and immediately set up attacks, as good as Hammers have been to date, they'll not have faced the high intensity that we are comfortable playing at, yes they'll soak up a lot of pressure but they will make mistakes and that will be their downfall,

Brentford had the right tactics on how to counter our play, and that was to match us in attack and almost beat us at our own game,  Hammers won't play like that, Moyes will play 5 across the back I imagine and try hitting us on the counter and use set play's to try and score, 

As has been said this won't be easy by any stretch but i just think we'll be too strong too clever and too good, this game is screaming out for a Bobby Firmino but alas he's missing unfortunately,  something I feel Moyes will be grateful for,

A not so easy Redmen victory 0-3



                                   YNWA

I’m thinking 2-2.
They are good. So are we.

Yea. Hope so mate.

I always enjoy reading your pre-match commentary.

Come on Boys today cheer my Covid blues away . Gone for 2-1 with Thiago to come on and be the difference

Tough game this one given how they have been playing, hopefully Moyes crap record against us continues.

The standard to win the league now is such that every game feels massive, I think Klopp said on Friday you have to basically be perfect to win the league, so we need to find a way to win and I’m confident we will.

3 1 to the reds.

C'mon Reds lets batter these cockney tw*ts.

Lots of pundits think W.Ham are going to be too strong for us today which is perfect. We like teams that think they can come after us and this is "The Chosen One" we are talking about.
Really hope we have Fab, Hendo and Thiago together and lets see how they perform.

Think this is a big game in perspective of our season, if we lose think it will put a load of pressure on us, that will be the second time we won't have taken advantage of our rivals slip ups, a draw won't be the end of the world but a win will help with confidence. Not forgetting Salah and Mane missing games for the ANC, so come on reds concentrate concentrate concentrate

We should be very confident of a result here, we are playing well, players are hungry to win , we have the best Manager ,I am really confident we win today ,come on ye reds !

Away form has been immense, confident we will win this one, 3-1 to the Mighty Reds 💪
