West Ham United 3-2 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

I'd say it's more because the ox is fit and playing well. Use him while he's fit, no reason to rush Thiago back. He can come on for ox 2nd half.  Nice to be able to discuss midfield options tho. Lol

Yeah possibly mate. I think I've just had my eye on this game for a few weeks and with thiago having a good weeks full training I hoped he'd be in for this.

A draw would be a good result on its own to be honest. If we hadn't chucked 4 points away against Brighton and Brentford we would take a point today and move on top of the league.

But their pace, power and desire upfront worries me. We haven't exactly manned up this season when the pressure has come on. Be difficult to keep them quiet today ... but if we want to be champions and we want to let Chelsea know we are after them we have to do the business today. A slip up doesn't feel as bad when your rivals do the same the next day.

Maybe play hendo more alongside fabinho today to try and protect the back 4 better and keep the ball away from their forwards.

Antonio always seems to score against us. A clean sheet today would be massive

It would mate. Not sure how many of us would put real money down on us keeping a clean sheet today. If we do I think we win. Mo will be hungry after his huge 2 game drought

Not sure what to expect with this one. Should be a really tough game but wouldn't at all be surprised if we flew out of the traps and blitzed them. Not really arsed either way as long as we're 3 points better off a few hours from now! Anything less will be a bit of a stinker, with no game next week it's important to sign off on a positive. Up the reds!

No idea why thiago can't start this match after a week of training. This is exactly the kind of game for him to get 60 minutes or so in, get on the ball and dictate. I'm not the boss though.

No surprises though with the side other than that. With the chavs result yesterday I'd take a point from this today but 3 would be lovely. Difficult game and a big test for our porous defence. If we are going to win the title its games like this that are the yardstick.

Easing him back gently

A lot of the pundits seem to fancy West Ham, come on Redmen ram their opinions down their throats! 1-3 to us.

Love the ceremony for the “fallen” that occurs.

Easing him back gently

Yeah probably mate. Just had my head set on him for today to give us more control in the middle of the pitch.

I'm relaxed, we looked back to our best against Atletico when there were eleven men. They drew with Genk.

Be a tough match this,come on redmen

So f**king nervous

I'm relaxed, we looked back to our best against Atletico when there were eleven men. They drew with Genk.

They rested 6 or 7 players though mate.
