West Ham 2 Liverpool 3

Wow the neutrals must have enjoyed the game last night. I wish I was one.

Sloppy defensive display last night with a couple of individual mistakes. West Ham had the first chance on goal when they dispossessed Carra in our area. The first West Ham goal, a penalty, came from Carragher's mistake too. He was outrun and pulled the opponent's shirt and the ref gifted them penalty. But did Diamanti touch the ball with his right foot when he was sliding? If he did, then it should have been a free kick for us,shouldn't it?

Torres opened his scoring account with a marvellous solo goal. Insua fed the ball to Torres on the left,the latter took on West Ham's defenders and scored when the angle was against him. Diamanti brought West Ham level with the penalty. Liverpool reacted with Gerrard's header from a corner kick. It was going in but Kuyt had a faint touch on the ball so the goal was credited to him. Steven says he wants the goal though.lol

4 minutes later, Carlton Cole scored a header from a corner. He got in between 3 Liverpool players; Carra, Torres and Skrtel. Skrtel could have done more though. Cole had half a yard of space between him and Skrtel, and he outjumped Skrtel.

I haven't said this for a long time, but Babel played well when he came in. His pace and runs caused problem to West Ham's defense, and that was a quality cross from the right side for Torres to head in. Man of the match: Fernando Torres. I think the whole team played pretty okay last night albeit few mistakes, but it was Torres who made a difference.

Everyone was already blaming our zonal marking for Cole's goal, but did they see that West Ham concede from an easy corner? It was due to individual mistakes that we conceded. Is Carra losing it? Might be a problem to us since Agger is still injured. Anyways, another win, another 3 points. =)
