West Ham vs Liverpool (8pm,4th February)

MrsGrey

Ref channeling his inner lino.

Lucky, Fredericks dived in right up the pitch and left acres of space in behind, low cross goes right across the six yard box but no-one touches it in, fortunately.

Liverpool have so many off the ball runners

So hard to defend against

buffybegood

Rice has to score there

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Huge opportunity

Oh my god, this refereeing. I'm losing the plot here.

Yeoldhammer

he will be kicking himself, acres of space. Should be hitting the target at a minimum.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

This is disgraceful

buffybegood

Childish and stupid by Fredericks, felt he should have had a free kick, so then goes straight into Mane to concede a free kick in a dangerous position. Fortunately Fab takes it cleanly.

Dekker's! You had to!

Still, full marks to whoever's organised these free kicks

MrsGrey

So some pushes are fouls. And some pushes aren't.

buffybegood

Lino has lost it, flagged Salah when he was well onside.

EXETERHAMMER

What sort of comment was that by Alan Smith........'it's sometimes harder to make decisions when it is so close to you'.

Ridiculous comment and embarrassing decision.

Obviously. Our pushes are fouls, theirs aren't; surely you must realise that by now ;wink

Yeoldhammer

Great half from West Ham. Going to take a lot to keep this intensity up.

Nevermind subs, someone sub that Lino right now.

Blatant cheating from two yards as the commentator said to busy looking at the football then makes the game all about him

Vorselaarhammer

Only a little bit offside.... ;doh

Moojor

Can you imagine if we had scored from such an offside position. There is no way the sky commentators would be making the excuses they are for Liverpool.

EXETERHAMMER

Yeah. It's not as if there isn't enough space around the pitch for the linesman to stand back from the line as Mr Carragher suggests.

Slacker

Jeez,that lino’s having a great game.

thornburyiron

The Lino should be level with the last defender not the keeper

buffybegood

Another good chance, Diop heads wide from a corner, shoulda done better.

Yeoldhammer

We really should be winning this from some of the chances we have had. Hope it doesn't come back to bite.

grey_til_I_dye

Small amount of consistency, as Fredericks avoids what looked a clear yellow.

buffybegood

Very late there by Hernandez, into the book.

buffybegood

Milner looked offside again there, but Fab saves well from Salah.

buffybegood

Salah in again, but shoots over.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Don't like this

The more open it is, the more it suits liverpool

Yeoldhammer

Starting to drop deeper the intensity has definitely dropped a notch. Can see Pellegrini ringing the changes but god knows who.

buffybegood

Great break, Rice drove forward, slipped the ball to Antonio, who fed it into the box but neither Hernandez nor Snoddy can get a shot away.
