Or ever better said: humiliated. Once again after a poor match the Reds seemed exchanged as they produced some quality football and won 3:0 over West Ham United on Saturday evening at Anfield.
Steven Gerrard’s injury furrowed our brows but luckily the worries were for no reason. And the Captain, who was watching the match from the stands, was really enjoying himself. As we all did, didn’t we? Finally we got 
Furthermore, the whole team performed very well. There wasn’t really any player who didn’t play well. N’Gog, Meireles, Kuyt, Torres, Maxi, Konchesky, Carragher, Skrtel … they all produced a decent performance.
Even Christian Poulsen looked good! Or at least better than recently. Which is good, I feel glad for him and maybe this means he’ll start deliver eventually.
Furthermore, it has to be said, we finally played like a team, which was a pleasure to watch, and the reason why it worked out. While Johnson opened the scoring for Liverpool with an awe-and-some goal, it was fellow full-back Paul Konchesky who supplied the assist for Maxi’s header which effectively sealed victory for the home side. So glad for Glen who really needed the goal to stop the critics, and after that he looked much more assured than usual. Dirk? Great job as well, working hard as usual and with his assists we should have scored more.
West Ham was really, really poor. Their supporters start to leaving the stadium even before the second half began! The team didn’t have many ideas but we looked pretty balanced for once, which was down to Meireles in the middle. It was Meireles’s best performance for us because he was played in his right position in the middle from where he practically bossed the game. As I mentioned it few times before, he is getting better and better with every match and making himself irrecoverable. Thankful we’ve got him!
Prior to this encounter Carragher said the lads have to show what they are made of, now when Steven Gerrard is injured. Did the lads show that? Definitely.
I do not want t spoil the party but did we look that good, because West Ham was that poor? I hope not. I hope it was a sign of a real progress.
My MOTM? Maxi or Raul … hard to choose, but I’ll go for Raul Meireles once again. Very, very, VERY good work by the Portuguese.

The one thing that kept coming into my mind after watching that game is how is it possible we were looking to sign Carleton Cole? Baffling… Ngog showed 10x more class and skill out there.
West Ham were poor and made Liverpool look good. Do not get carried away. Next is Tottenham away and we all know Roy has the worst away record in the PL for six years. Roy will try and play to a draw and will lose the game as usual. We have to endure this pain of a manager until the summer when he gets the sack.
@Sasi It’s like I said/asked above: “I do not want t spoil the party but did we look that good, because West Ham was that poor? I hope not. I hope it was a sign of a real progress.”
we played well in the first half but west ham didnt look interested at all the whole of anfield was silent through out the game. motd again only showed the good bits. we r starting to play better but there is a big lack of confidence. the only entertainment was when aurelio came on. credit to the west ham fans there support had a good sense of humour woys mentality should of been to go out and take advantage of this situation and score more. ynwa

I agree. Can’t believe we were pushing so hard for C. Cole. If we are going to sign a new striker he better be top class. Ngog is going to provide stiff competition for anything less. He is only 21 too! Just think what he could be doing in 3-4 years time.
