Sone West Ham fans sat behind me saying they've not won at Anfield since he was a kid. Mr Rodgers is still breaking records then.

14th September 1963 to be precise

Edit - that's 51 years, 11 months, 15 days since WH won a league game at Anfield

Adjective, not verb.

And can we issue a warm welcome back to ALL of the Utd fans, not just KS, who have come to pay us a visit this afternoon.

Pleasure, how much has Bodge spent? Give him a 5 year contract I say.

Christ that was rough - its the fans that travel that I feel sorry for, my 30 minute jaunt through the tunnel is nothing to the guy behind me who comes up from South London nearly every game - why?

Did we have a shot on target ? did we create, did we balls - I was fed up after 15 minutes wishing I was somewhere else.

United capitulation will be a nail in Brens coffin, this can be dismissed as a bad day at the office

I meant thus result can be a one off, we can kick on but 0-1, 1-0, 0-0, 0-3 has a lot of nils and ones in it. The Big Ben tactics are not working.

Firmino hit the bar, Lovren forced the only save from what I remember.

Four games and and we've scored 2 goals, one a wonder goal and the other a mile offside.

And still he'll start the next game with Baloteke up front on his own.

[Flip Martian]

To start with 2 up front, we need a strong defence, surely - and for all the protestations midweek on here that our defence was much stronger, clearly its a long way from sorted...

Is that this seasons new silly name? I was waiting to see who it would be this year...

Well done.

It's not a silly name. It's a reflection that neither of them are mobile front men and that neither of them should be playing up front on their own. And if it continues I think one will fail just as much as the other one did, even if he cost twice as much and knows Joe Allen's name.

So you've written him off after 4 games for us.

Fair enough, your opinion.

[epom]

Doing better than most had expected at this stage of the season. I.m not gonna panic. Bad, actually Terrible day at the office move on.

[RedTrident]

I've formed an opinion that playing a not very mobile target man up front on his own isn't going to get the best out of him. That and not crossing the ball to him, especially on corners.

Benteke, Mario, Lambert. Regardless of age, craziness or cost, we've not played them well. If we're going to play one up front I'd rather it was Ings. At least he's more mobile.

No he hasn't - he has said he needs someone beside him. Something a lot of us agree with especially home to West Ham

Well if that's the case, our defence stands a decent chance of coping!

Our defence is doing just fine against teams 1st line forwards

Which means we will now concede 3 this weekend!

Psyhic Phil.

Don't panic, we wont lose to utd.

[Sargeant Orange]

Liverpool 0-3 West Ham

I'm still struggling to comprehend that result. Our worst home defeat in 10 years?

The comical thing is that it's not the defence that is most worrying, we do not even look like scoring a goal at all. Our 2 this season have been a contender for goal of the season & offside. Soul destroying

This all day long.

The problem is that despite some good results before today, the performances have been poor (we fluked Bournemouth ffs).

Losing to mediocre teams at Anfield is not okay, ever.

Presumably you are referring to Man U? No, I think you will beat them.
