Thinking of Liverpool …

Today against Liverpool! I very well remember two games I have witnessed live: an emphatic 3-1 win at Upton Park (goals: Sakho, Reid and Amalfitano) with Sam Allardyce at the helm and Alex Song in the team (2014) – and a 1-4 defeat at London Stadium which ended Slaven Bilic’s tenure as West Ham manager (2017).

But it also was during Slaven’s reign that West Ham have last won against Liverpool: 2015/16 the Hammers made it three wins out of four games against Liverpool (including two FA Cup matches) eliminating the Reds from the FA Cup in a cup replay at Upton Park on 9 February 2016.

It’s a winless streak of ten games in all competitions now against Liverpool. It’s about time to win again … but Liverpool are a force that the Irons always struggled against and the Reds are the only team still unbeaten this season. They always could be overcome only on days when everything went very well for the Hammers.

Could it be a day like these today?

By the way: West Ham U23 beat Liverpool U 23 yesterday -> Highlights: West Ham United U23s 3-0 Liverpool U23s | West Ham United (whufc.com)

Come on you Irons!!!
