Its a tricky one on saturday.

West Ham playing decently, IMO showing enough form to stay up. Liverpool showing moments of a great team, mostly being useless.

Historically we have always played well against West Ham, they're a free scoring side with an average defence. In days past when we had the likes of Michael Owen and even as far back as Titi Camara we we're never shy of goals and this showed in our results.

Can we beat West Ham? The bookies would probably say DRAW based on current form of both teams. I think it all relies on the team we field and the formation we play. Fielding a 4-5-1 formation when your struggling to score is only going to result in a draw at best.

I think the way to approach every league game this season is a list of definite starters:

Reina
Carragher
Alonso
Gerrard
Cisse

With this base the other positions can be filled as needed. But this core set of players are what will get us back to our best.

Cisse is a goal machine and he is the one who can solve our scoring crisis. Start him for the West Ham game and we have given ourselves the best chance of winning

i think its going to be a hard game, but as it is a home game we should win as long as Gerrard, Cisse, Carragher start.

I agree with you scs, West Ham look like a dodgy proposition evn though they were lucky to get that second 'goal' against boro on the weekend. However, as I have said before, I don't think we should be cautious in games like these. To a certain degree fair enough.

As far as I remember, if you score more goals than the opposition, you win the game and get the whole three points. 4-3-3 I reckon.

Raven Carragher Hyypia Warnock

Gerrard Alonso Sissoko

Kewell Riise
Cisse

Let's stop pussyfooting about and go for goal. If they score first. So what? We'll score two. Plenty of goals in this side. Whether Rafa would contemplate this.......I don't know.

Fact.

I think as soon as we get Kewell fit and firing the better, IMO the only way is to play him. The fact of the matter is he ain't as bad as Garcia at the moment so why not?!
