Liverpool’s game was a thriller for the neutral supporter but as a Liverpool fan I felt it was taking time off of my life. A team that was so comfortable at the back last year looks ragged at times this year. Both of our centre-backs were guility of poor play in the first half. Carragher almost gifting West Ham the lead inside of the first few minutes.

Liverpool won two games on the trot, the Burnley game was a stroll in the park after a shaky first 10 minutes. Once Liverpool got going Gerrard excelled in a center midfield role and dictated the game well. Of course, Yossi will get all the headlines and deservedly so. He was fantastic and deserved all of the plaudits after completing his hat trick. Liverpool scored four, even though Torres looked well of the pace. How we did not make it more is a surprise but Voronin should have done much better when he was put clear through on goal.

Well thank you to Sean Davies for getting sent off in this match after two avoidable incidents. Had he not been sent off I’m afraid Liverpool might be in looking at a very different international break. Liverpool dominated the game but found themselves behind twice.
