The studio team, while reviewing schedules, just said “It doesn’t get any easier for West Ham.”

They just played City and Liverpool. By definition, it gets easier from here.

12 is the magic number.

I don’t like the vague intangibles like “determination” or “fight” to describe a squad. I will say that this Liverpool is incredibly well conditioned and so fluent in its attacking patterns that it can hit another gear when other teams start flagging. also, having VVD in the back makes it easier to push up to chase a goal.

And Alisson. I don’t care if you clone Van Dijk, you aren’t pushing up with Karius back there.
100%. Us defenders always think we’re the key to the squad. But you keepers do a good job sticking up for each other.

Unless we suck, in which case we’re brutal. We actually know how to point out flaws, unlike these color commentators who are limited to “he should have done better” and “easy save” and “he won’t be happy conceding at his near post.”
