We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Liverpool and West Ham.
Here are some of your comments:
Liverpool fans
Ian: The time is lonng overdue for Jeremiah Frimpong and Rio Ngumoha to start matches. The team felt more balanced when they were brought on. I cannot understand why tiredness is an issue and why it matters if it was at the beginning or end.
Jon: The result disguises some worrying problems for us defensively. On too many occasions the defence and midfield gave the ball away sloppily. To be 3-0 up and still nervous about them getting one goal to change the game at Anfield is not the Liverpool we have seen in the past. A few sitters missed by some of the team didn't help us and, I must say, what Mohamed Salah has been for us in the past is no more - zero work-rate from him and should have been dragged off the pitch early second half. Take the positives, which are three points and five goals, but against this West Ham team it could have been better.
Rae: A good result, five different goalscorers [one own goal] - which is just as well as Cody Gakpo and Salah are still off form. The main difference, though, is that other players are finding form - Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez. Lots of work still to do.
Ravi: Top performance from the Reds. We were clinical, and to score five (it should've probably been more!) is always a positive thing. Six in seven now - let's keep the momentum going!
West Ham fans
Richard: I hope the 'Moyes Out' crew at West Ham take a long look at themselves in the mirror. While Everton are chasing Europe, we are chasing survival. Some fans seemed to think we still had Bobby Moore at the club when David Moyes was manager, and even winning the Conference League wasn't enough for them. That was the beginning of the rot and, along with David Sullivan and Karren Brady (who wanted to keep Moyes), the fans who wanted him out have played a part in our downfall.
Neil: If we'd played like that in the first half of the season we'd be challenging for Europe right now... why has it taken half a season?
James: The cliche of ‘the season is not going to be defined by this result’ comes to mind. It was always going to be tough, but West Ham must not let this curtail their previous good form.
Chris: Disappointing they let the game get away from them so quickly and from set-pieces, where we had tightened up so much in recent games. Positives were we took two goals and had plenty of other chances. We also didn't give up, despite the scoreline. I don't think it'll change much, but I hope the goals conceded don't cost us dear at the end of the season.
