Topic: League Cup: 5 Liverpool v West Ham 1 Dom 27, Jones 55 84, Gakpo 71 Mo 83

[Rush 82]

Sharper, more urgent, and yet, more patient as well.

Really good performance although West Ham really were abject.

[Ghost Town]

Best moment was when the commentators were talking about the imminent arrival of Paqueta as if he were prime Messi and then we scored. Lolz

[OkieRedman]

Hammers?

More like Nails...

That was a bit of a joke.

[TALBERT]

BOOM

Near perfect

Headache for Jurgen with who plays Saturday

Jones and Elliott should

Gakpo has a claim

[YNWA.A]

Gomez and Harvey have to be included, they were imperious

[SP]

94 I think the ref wants to get out of the rain, brings the match to a swift conclusion. We are in the semis a good draw please. 5-1 to the Reds.

There are only good draws left.

[Studgotelli]

5 star performance great watch all round

[naYoRHa2b]

Second half was more like it. West Ham just let us play through them, strange performance from them.

[Darren G]

Much better. Completely different energy to the United game, both players and crowd.  Really good performance from Curtis and Darwin looked a lot sharper.  That said, West Ham were absolutely abysmal.

[jillcwhomever]

When is the draw ?

After our game, I think.

[TheShanklyGates]

That second half was the perfect tonic to our struggles at the weekend. It's a bit difficult to judge how good we were because West Ham were truly awful but it felt good either way

[Bend It Like Aurelio]

West Ham were absolutely rubbish. That LB Johnson was absolutely dire.

We were absolutely dominant. A socialist performance. A win credited to the collective.

Enjoyed that. Especially after the drabness of the last few weeks.

[Anthony]

When is the draw ?

10:15 tonight - we can have

Middlesbrough
Fulham
Chelsea

[Jm55]

We were obviously brilliant but any chance that those rumours of a sickness bug for West Ham had something in them? They were as bad as I’ve ever seen them at Anfield.

[Jean Girard]

Somebody should have stopped that. Bloodbath.

Best performance in ages (even if we played traffic cones)

Too many played well to mention, but Harvey, Joe, Curtis, Tsim, Szob, Endo - great nights.

[Ray K]

Hello Reds, what a win that was then.

Curtis was absolutely brilliant, but I also thought Harvey Elliott was really fucking on it in the first half when it was scoreless. Linked with Curtis really well, always picking out the right pass.

Another classic Moyesiah performance at Anfield then.

[spider-neil]

Is it better to have Chelsea over two legs or a one-off final?

[jillcwhomever]

There are only good draws left.

Yes, just remembered whose in there. 

[SP]

When is the draw ?

20 minutes time

[Fruity]

Just what the doctor ordered. Great performance, never let up. Particularly liked Curtis first goal. Quality pass to him in the box.

[Banquo's Ghost]

Very impressive reaction to the weekend, well done.

Harvey and Curtis absolutely made a difference - pressing, quick tempo passes, constant effort. Joe and Jarrell were very good too.

Whatever Darwin did to Lady Luck, please forgive him and get back together. It’s breaking my heart.

[Redsnappa]

Well that was more like it!

What a difference to Sunday. Can’t wait for the Arsenal game now we’re looking much more like the boss team we are.

Superb all round.

[Bennett]

Blown away by how good we were there to be honest. Wasn't expecting it at all. Jones deserves to start vs Arsenal over Gravenberch 100%

[Caston]

Brilliant game!

Just what we needed after Sunday, on to a massive game on Saturday now

[lgvkarlos]

Fantastic football and energy.

Jones, Gomez and Elliott were standout performers, thought Kostas was also very good (really don't get the people criticising him at half time)

[DangerScouse]

10:15 tonight - we can have

Middlesbrough
Fulham
Chelsea

It will be well after 10.15 despite Sky advertising it as such.

[MrGrumpy]

That game was even more one sided than a 5-1 scoreline suggests.

[LiverBirdKop]

Very refreshing win! A few of our players were excellent, Curtis, Harvey, Szobo, Gomez.

WH were poor but I'd like to give a lot of credit to the boys for making them look poor.

[Hestoic]

And that is why you go full strength. Confidence will be sky high going into Arsenal now.

Nunez looked much better on the wing.

[Bread]

Is it better to have Chelsea over two legs or a one-off final?

I'd rather they get spanked by Fulham in the semis to be honest, and we get the easiest run to a cup final since Man City.

[Jm55]

Is it better to have Chelsea over two legs or a one-off final?

Would personally rather just avoid them and hope whoever play them knocks them out which is far from beyond the realms.

[Ray K]

10:15 tonight - we can have

Middlesbrough
Fulham
Chelsea

Fixed it for you. No way they're having us avoiding Chelsea when they could have two big semi final ties with them.

[Qston]

Much more like it. Full of energy and never let them have any time on the ball. Cracking stuff

[Gnurglan]

5-1!
We were in control from the first whistle. Impressed with the way we kept winning the ball and how we seemed to keep the tempo up. An almost perfect evening where Salah, Gakpo and Szoboszlai scored. Great to see Jones with two! We managed to avoid 90 minutes on Tsimikas, VVD, Konate, TAA, Szoboszlai, Diaz and Salah. Bradley with some game time and Quansah with yet another game under his belt. Liked what I saw. Could perhaps have done something better on their goal, but not important tonight. Like the development there. Semis next!

[Bennett]

Want Boro in the semis for obvious reasons but would also kinda prefer Chelsea over two legs than one. Class will show over 180 minutes, anything can happen in a while. What will be, will be anyway. We're the best left in the tournament by a mile.

[Nick110581]

Endo was excellent too

[the_red_pill]

Sharper, more urgent, and yet, more patient as well.

Really good performance although West Ham really were abject.

Coulda done with it on the weekend though, Rushie.
I'm still mad. Not even this win has subsided the disappointment. It'll be a while- prolly somewhere in Jan.

[TipTopKop]

Is it better to have Chelsea over two legs or a one-off final?

I'd rather have the 2 legs. We're clearly the better team but anything can happen over 90 minutes.

[thaddeus]

10:15 tonight - we can have

Middlesbrough
Fulham
Chelsea

Middlesbrough please.  Nothing to fear from the other two but it would be nice to be able to rotate a bit more.

[spider-neil]

Blown away by how good we were there to be honest. Wasn't expecting it at all. Jones deserves to start vs Arsenal over Gravenberch 100%

Gravenberch is very talented but right now he isn't in sync with the rest of the team especially out of possession.
