West Ham United FC vs Liverpool FC, Boleyn Ground, London

A tight first half with West Ham having the upper hand I felt. The home side made it difficult for The Reds, we had our chances throughout the game with Suarez coming close on a couple of occasions, it was his work that won us the opening penalty with Tomkins handling the ball in the area.

The home side hit back in first half stoppage time but the goal should never have been given as Andy Carroll clearly fouled Simon Mignolet when the cross came in. The linesman flagged for it but the ref over ruled him.

The second half Rodgers switched it around by bringing on Lucas who made us far more solid in midfield and we were able to dominate. I feel we will need this formation in the forthcoming fixture with Palace if we are to go on and win the title.

Our second goal I felt at the time wasn’t a penalty and the ref was making up for his mistake. I can see it from both sides, I’d be pissed off if it was given against us I’m sure.

One thing of note, I was sat in the home end and all the fans around me were loving the way Gerrard strokes the ball around the field with ease. It made me think just how lucky we are to watch this football week in, week out.

I also love the new Brendan Rodgers chant that was sung in the away end
