West Ham 1 - 2 Liverpool
The first 70 minutes of this game was one of the most laclustre piss poor performances I've ever seen from the boys in the Claret n Blue. They looked scared and in awe of their opposition when they should've been at them challenging for every ball. I thought Liverpool looked fairly beatable and had we been beaming with confidence would have given them quite a game.
But it took until 70 minutes for us to wake up once we were already 2-0 down. Inspired by a double substitution of the ineffective Cole & Harewood replaced by new signing Kepa Blanco and Bobby Zamora West Ham decided to try and get back into this match. The newly introduced pair combined well in the 78th Minute as Zamora crossed for Kepa to stick out a long leg and smash the ball home from close range. The hammers then tried in vain to squeeze an equaliser but it was all too little too late.
I thought Reo-Coker had a good game in that he tried to play but he just didn't have the support. Quashie for me was dismal giving the ball away left right and centre and on this performance I can see why he has relegated 4 teams already.

Just to twist the knife Sheff Utd won. Wigan lost so it looks like being any 3 from us Wigan, Charlton & Watford. The odds aren't good :-(

Actually Quashie did give the ball away a few times. But more often I thought his passes found their targets and he did a lot more defensively as well.
