(The Guardian) 2 min: It’s a scrappy start. Have to say that this is the first time for me watching Tomas Soucek. West Ham fans, what has been your impression of him? David Moyes certainly likes him, not least because he runs A LOT. More than any West Ham player in six years during the defeat to Man City, if Moyes is to be believed.

(The Guardian) 4 min: Corner to Liverpool, after a skewed clearance from Diop. Well cleared by Rice. Back come Liverpool, with Van Dijk nearly releasing Salah with a beautiful cross-field ball. Creswell heads behind for another corner. The onslaught has begun.

(The Guardian) 6 min: Fabanski nearly has a howler! A heavy touch means his subsequent clearance is blocked by Mané, with the ball just flying two yards wide of the open goal!

(The Guardian) 8 min: Antonio latches onto a ball down the left wing, runs the ball to the byline, upon which he is given an almighty shrug by Gomez. Antonio falls on the ball with his hands on the ball, expecting the free-kick, but referee Jon Moss gives the foul the other way, for handball.

...and the scoring begins! (The Guardian) GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 West Ham (Wijnaldum 9)A poor error from Fabianski! 1-0! David Martin in! A simple goal, as the ball bobbles off Aaron Creswell into a wide area. Alexander-Arnold wraps his foot around the ball the way only he knows how, a wonderfully-whipped cross, and Wijnaldum ghosts in, glancing his header towards the far post. Fabianski should get there, but can only palm the ball into the inside of the side netting! That’s a shocking piece of goalkeeping! The Poland international slaps the crossbar in frustration. liverpool scarf-1

......but the lead didn't last long! (The Guardian) GOAL! Liverpool 1-1 West Ham (Diop 11)West Ham hit straight back! Set pieces were always going to be West Ham’s best chance of a result tonight, and West Ham have indeed scored from a corner! Snodgrass’s cross was brilliantly fired to the near post and Diop got up highest to head the ball low inside Alisson’s near post. There was no player guarding the post, and although Alisson got a hand to it, it crept over the line.

(The Guardian) 13 min: Could Alisson have done better there? In truth the header was just six yards out, powerfully nodded down low. It wasn’t right in the corner, but wasn’t the same sort of mistake that Fabianski committed.

(The Guardian) 15 min: Fabianski now does make a save, and a good one at that! Salah cuts in from the right flank on his left foot, curling one of those classic efforts towards the far post, but Fabianski springs to his right and tips is over the bar.

(The Guardian) 17 min: Some thoughts regarding Jamie Carragher’s assertion that Liverpool only have six world-class players.--“Carra is wrong but maybe he has a different definition of world class,” emails Mike MacKenzie. “You don’t have to be the best at your position just among the top 4-5 in my opinion. I agree with you that Robertson and Fabinho should be on the list.” --“Carragher is nuts!” writes Jim Dunker. “Robertson & Fabinho are definitely in the mix, and I’d argue that Robertson more so than Alexander-Arnold, who can have a number of lapses in his concentration per game where the team covers him….” --“No love for Henderson?” asks Joe Pearson. “I know he is not in the squad tonight, but he could fit in the midfield of any of the best teams in Europe.” --“I don’t think TAA can yet be called world class, even if he did take the greatest corner in football history against Barcelona! I love Firmino and Salah, but for me Fun Bobby needs to add goals (yes I know what else he does) and Mo needs consistency. He can go missing in big games and sometimes throws his arms around like it’s an affront when he’s tackled. So I would say Alisson, VVD, and perhaps only Mané of the front three. I think world class gets bandied about too easily these days. And besides I want all of them to stay at Anfield! Yours, expecting it in the neck from fellow LFC fans, Michael Gibson.”

(The Guardian) 20 min: Another corner to West Ham but this time Liverpool defend it well and spring on the counter. Declan Rice gets back well to intercept a pass, and allow his team-mates to recover. Liverpool are normally so dangerous in that position.
22 min: Liverpool have had 73% possession, exactly the figure they enjoyed last week against Atlético Madrid.

(The Guardian) 24 min: West Ham so nearly take the lead! A slip allows Antonio to run clean through but a heavy touch allows Alisson to come out and claim the ball before the striker can get a shot off!

(The Guardian) 25 min: Mané nutmegs Snodgrass deliciously and sends a shot towards the top corner, but Diop does well to get across and block the shot.

(The Guardian) 27 min: Firmino sends a shot just over from range, a curling effort that ends up a couple of yards over the bar. It is apparently 11 months since the Brazilian last scored at Anfield in the Premier League. A remarkable stat.
