Liverpool vs West Ham | League | 13.4.25 | Predictions & Match Thread

[stubbo-admin]

Hard to see this as anything but a mauling. Maybe Potter will pragmatically stifle them, but hard to see him going toe-to-to.

Prediction:

2-0 defeat.

Füllkrug doesn't start, back 5 Dinos and Soler in. 

[El Scorchio]

Shit. We’ve won once in our last 57 games there. That must be some sort of record. I knew it was bad but not that bad. 

Also:

• Mohamed Salah has failed to score or assist in each of his last four Liverpool appearances, his longest such run since a four-game sequence in March 2021.

So we know what’s inevitably coming then don’t we. 

[Tomshardware]

3-1 to them.

[COOL HAND LUKE]

I wonder who VVD will maim with his thuggery today..? 

 

[Leonard Hatred]

WE WILL DEFEAT LIVERPOOL BY TWO GOALS TO ONE.

PUT YOUR HOUSE ON IT.

STAND ON ME.

[honky cat]

I’m going 1-1

 

Good girl x
​​​​​​I' m going to put some of last weeks winning on.

[Ladysmith]

I’m going 1-1

[only1billybonds]

I'll be at my granddaughters birthday party so will miss the Sala show. Would love to say that we'll ruin the party but the reality is we'll get thumped.
Be nice to restrict them to just  couple of goals for a change.

[Pub Bigot]

A 5-0 thumping 

The most nailed on dead cert of all time. 

[nychammer]

its hard to expect Liverpool to fumble at home to us, especially after losing last week,  but stranger things and all that. I'd be happy with a solid performance and not sitting back, trying to defend and surrendering 5-0 all the same as has been the case in some past games against this mob

[Mex Martillo]

This optimism reminds me of the thread before Arsenal.

[Fauxstralian]

Don’t imagine any West Ham fan has any expectations from a trip to Anfield 
Will be a Salah wankfest on Sky with a full battalion of Liverpool pundits
Am out tomorrow afternoon so won’t be watching

[John Coffey]

Outplayed. 3-0

[Takashi Miike]

five defenders, no striker, fuck off

[El Scorchio]

0-1 Bowen. 

[violator]

A 5-0 thumping 

[Mike Oxsaw]

I suspect we'll get the mauling we've been waiting for all season. 4-1 at best.

And if we do get a mention during the commentary Salah-fest it will be along the lines of us spoiling a "good" game.

[goose]

The entire afternoon will be about Salah and his new contract.

Fully expect him to get a soft penalty to help celebrate.

[Mex Martillo]

I think Potter will go back to this team.

Areola
Todibo, Kilman, Cresswell
Wan Bissaka, Alvarez, Paqueta, Soucek, Scarles
Bowen, Kudus

No point making a prediction, it hurts.

Thanks Stubbo

[Sir Alf]

Conceding less than 3 will be progress.  

We’ve seen maybe 3 or 4 decent performances up there in 55 or more years. Our squad is painfully weak in central midfield which is where they are extremmely strong.   

I would love anything but a defeat but everything points to a defeat.  

[RBshorty]

Red Scouse must feel nobody is getting near them for the next couple of seasons. With the money saved with this. And not coughing up for Trent. Looks like a big splurge coming for them.

[wils]

So little left for Liverpool to do to get them over the line there's a chance they won't be quite so focussed. So hopefully we are not going to get smashed again. Expecting a bit more fight from the team and we do win up there every 40 years or so. I am sure I have firmly clutched a straw with that post.
 

[fraser]

Salah signing a new contract guarantees him scoring , he could have waited till next week. 

Yeah cause without it he wouldn't have scored against us, the cսnt always does.

[Manuel]

Very frustrating that this is our next fixture, after failing miserably at Wolves first half and changing it for the better he again did the same against Bournemouth... But unfortunately he will probably feel vindicated doing it again as it is Liverpool away

I don't agree and feel it should be 4-3-3 and I would go 
​​​ 

​​​​​​           Areola 
AWB. Todibo.  Kilman  Scarles
     Soler    Alvarez. Paqueta 
    Bowen   Fullkrug. Kudus 

that's the team and shape I'd pick too

Looks about right but I fancy he'll have the German on the bench again. Hopefully he will continue to play Scarles, it's fair to say the jury is still out if he can make it at this level and with these dead rubbers it's the ideal time to find out.
