"A real heart in mouth game; how ever Shelvey's goal went in, he had to be there to get it, marvellous game, even better result. 2nd goal from Joe Cole, 3rd goal from Henderson cross, are the tides turning for these boys...to think, we're 4 points from 4th spot now!!"
"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! This just goes to show that we are not a one man team. Brilliant desire and they never gave up. See doubters, players like Joe Cole and Jordan Henderson can be useful!!!!"
"Congrats red men. im so happy to see liverpool come back 2-1 to 3-2 up. love you all.this was a tough game and i really tought we wer gona lose. thanks alot cole and shelvey. and great goal johnson. "
"Henderson came on and changed the match as did Joe Cole. Hope the haters stay in their holes today. Fantastic performance full of heart. Shelvey grew into his striker position very well. All around gritty, tough performance and 4 points from 4th place with an easy run ahead."
"Very important 3 points, it's these kinda games that we must win in order to be higher up the table. No point in only beating crap teams, this was a very good test today. YNWA love you brendan"
"Great finish from Joe Cole, lots of fight, energy, we should have won more comfortably. Glen Johnson MOTM. How could the ref not give a penalty for the foul on Jonjo?"
"great win but some fans wil get angry with with whatwll ay. I'm speaking to johnson personally great goal but why you waste all the ball you have in second half. everytime it is a wrong run or you wait too much to pass the ball. you are making your collegues tired like this. they will be fed up. liverpool must play much easier. if you create 1 chance and lost 7 it is worthless for lfc"
"Nice 1. Won after Europe (and w/o Luis)! 3 new goalscorers in Premiership. Super goal by Gavin, assists by Raheem and Hendo, Jonjo scored as a striker. Unlucky 2 concede 2. We are not there yet though (solid but not very good performance), but we are improving bit by bit. And here we are in top 10. YNWA"
"Well done boys. It's always nice to see the smile wiped off sam's face. Hard fought and well deserved. Huge praise to the three goalscorers, particularly Joe Cole, who has been on the end of a lot of criticsm but scored with a fine finish. Jonjo has done great and Glen was a constant threat going forward. Keep up the good work lads. "
"Great! well done boys. Never mind the Captain's own goal but the come back spirit deserves all the 3 points. Now next 22 more fixtures remain. Take one at a time with same determination in mind. Only to win. YNWA"
"Henderson seems to have taken the same road as Lucas. He has become better and better under BR. Hes been involved in match winning efforts for the last 2 games! "
"Henderson seems to have taken the same road as Lucas. He has become better and better under BR. Hes been involved in match winning efforts for the last 2 games! "
"We need some more players we all know hendo and downing ate not good enough sign some players in January please good come back tho credit where credit Is due nice one Joe "
"Henderson seems to have taken the same road as Lucas. He has become better and better under BR. Hes been involved in match winning efforts for the last 2 games! "
"Well done lads! What a great victory! We played some great stuff in the first 25 minutes, after that we went down and turned off the light, then we played a fantastic last half an hour and turned over the result! Congrats to BR to have done the right changes! I've been really enthused by this win, now let's hope to continue the positive streak! Keep going so lads! YNWA Reds"
"everything goes well now for brendan rodgers..keep it up and make liverpool top 4 again before the new year!! after the new year we will be getting new strikers!!!!! YNWA"
"How did THAT happen? Bullied by West Ham but we scrape a win - sounds like Man U? Can't be bad but the team was not a one I would like to see play again. Hope Enrique isn't badly injured!"
"Where r those fickle fans who continuously talk nonsense when we lose but no congrats wen BR made some absolute brilliant subs to win us the game. 'if you cant support us wen we win or lose, dont supports us wen we win'."

"fobiuz i think our luck is finally on our side. i dint think so when the ref gave that penalty which really wasnt. n tought oh no! not again. and then suddenly it changes today. im so relieved. thank you red men you'v made my day. "
"YES BUZZIN!!!!! Can't believe we come from behind, I didn't see that one coming at all, hahaha lets be honest west ham batted us most of the game, they were stronger and was whipping dangerous balls into our box, but we held on this is a massive result if we want to get top 4. I hate Lee probert, it was a stone wall penalty for jonjo and there's was a joke! Big eared get! YNWA "
"Masterstroke in football tactics take a bow brendan rodgers not for the first time either. Johnson was on fire tday. Once agen denied a blatant penalty wen will it end? YNWA"
"Just my sincere wishes and prayers that the the boys keep improving from one game to another and let not the hard fought victories getting to their head. We will crawl back where we wish to be come Christmas. Cheers boys!! YNWA"
"not a great performance but we won allen is useless get shut of him in jan waste of 15 mill also FSG i hope u were watching that coz we are in dire need of 2 strikers in jan"
"Buddha if this is what youre like after we win - then I actually don't mind spending more time with you(Are you scared?)I think the numpty of the match has to go to LFC128. Changed their mind more than Buddha changes his name"
"I actually hated Downing, Henderson and Cole, they have ALL turned ace! Reina, 5cm from saving the penalty, good try. Gerard was on the wrong side, brilliant play from Agger and Skrtel and Lucas and Allen. Nice everyone else, worst man, Gerard."
"Wow, I don't believe it. After 70 minutes Liverpool were playing badly, maybe their worst game of this year, and it all looked lost. But what a finish. Henderson was great and the other kids played superbly and could score more goals. But never mind, the 3 points are the most important thing today. Only 4 points from 4th place. Wow."
"melissa - yes I was in a really bad mood recently, but my boy, did you see that Reds have just a few chances to score and they did it! What was that, luck, miracle or just a perfect touch I don't care to be honest :D"
"Buddha I promise not to push any more but Would u say that some of my comments (although i dont like to say i told u so!) werent quite as stupid as u 1st thought?Please just say it and I will leave u alone for the rest of the night."
"Greatest win this season !...we have 20pts in last 11 matches...ahead of two home wins...we have le form :))) Withouth Suarez we scored three away goals...no easy beat present Hammers....we become very consistent and with strong mentality...thank you Brendan !!!"
"Westham played a lot of attacking football today but still could score only from a penalty and an own goal. It seems Liverpool keeper, defence and holding midfielder were good today."
"Mastermind by Mr. Brendan rodgers
Henderson and joe cole entry was the turning factor
would love to see gerrard supporting our attacks now that lucas and allen are controlling the midfields"
"Felt bad only for sterling...
he should have scored today...
it could have good gift for himself on the birthday went...
well done everyone...
BR good subs...
YNWA..."
"TLCSkop- have you watch the match IF DIAME didn't get an injury do you think we could beat west ham. Waste the ball in front of goals and you will see if you can win match. just watch secong and see how much ball johnson waste in attack.ALL THE BALL"
"Diame wanted to come to liverpool but after Dalglish sacking he went to West ham on a bosman and look how he has turned out!!totlly bossed allen,who we bought for 15m..sry but joe is overrated.not fit for physical games at all.And gave away a penalty too."
"Brilliant comeback and shelvey shd have had a penalty.Hendo top class.Gerard and Allen worst on the pitch.Sterling avg 1st half awesome 2nd half..Drop gerard Downing and allen and replace them with suso suarez and sahin and our team looks perfect for the charge toward 4th..."
"Great win - Johnson MOTM. Henderson has transformed his game - well done! Take the shackles from S G and bench Allen ! Please do not keep playing favourite, out of form players!!! Onwards and Upwards we go!"
"HO, HO, HO. What a fabulous early present. Magnificient win. Worried at half time, but serious effort in second half. Know what, this is a significant win especially at the hammers. 10th spot, 4 points away from 4th spot and on the up. Jingle bells, jingle bells YNWA"
"I'm not wrong i don't like others to make effort and don't get ball. Its a waste of time. we must continously create chances. I'm just telling what i've seen. I'm a bit critical but just review the match and you will see. maybe we are in an euphoria but we must look for long term"
"Glen Johnson is quality he was on fire! What a goal! Not seen a liverpool screamer like that for ages, what a rocket! Johnson was my motm by a million miles! Allen needs to be dropped for Hendo, we need to pick players on form and Hendo looks like he's found his form. Massive win this, Come on u reds!!! YNWA "
"A massive 3pts! Now let's kick on and win again. Get a quality striker and it could be happy days! Not sure what Joe Allen brings to the team though."
"Back to back league wins. I'm in dreamland. Fantastic goals, fantastic Character in spite of a weak referee. Great stuff lads. ONWARDS ad UPWARDS!!! YNWA"
"well done team.. hit the ground running after this result as i=m sure lads will know and lets get next result.. well done to brendan and also glenn motm.. congratulations glenn. YNWA"
"Krtech, why the negativity? We won, and your comments on Glen J. are making u look pretty stupid, he was our best and brightest player today so why are you slating him? You clearly don't know much about football"
"Great to see the team win and to see "squad players" playing making a contribution. But gutted for Enrique to pick up an injury just as he was returning to his best form. "
"Krtech I was at the the game, where were you? Yes Diame gave us problems but not as much ad Johson gave their. Left sided players. Just stop criticising for once and b happy like everyone else. If that too much to ask? The team is far from perfection but at least the lads play with their hearts."
"Downing played very well in his defensive role today. Johnson was great for 20 mins. Jonjo was man of the match for me. He looked like the leader on the pitch.... for sure we need Erique as before his exit, the display was dominating. "
"This was a great confidence boosting, coming on the back of the Udinese game. This win will give players belief. Hendo is on form, Shelvey is getting better and young Raheem looks tired but his pass was eloquent. Walk ON, Walk ON!!"
"nmethest just watch second half. If you want lfc to become a leader in english football then there must be a change in the culture of playing meaning getting rid of wasting the ball. whether you want lfc to be a top team or contemplate a win and draw and a lost again. i Think fan like you like us to be midtable . you are too ecxited bcause of win . you must look for the whole season"
"Absolutely brilliant! We started really well then let West Ham back into the game. Thought the penalty decision was diabolical. A great second half and we should have had a penalty. Despite the referee a great win for the reds. Johnson was unplayable at times. Thought Henderson did well when he came on."
"You think fans who are delighted with a comeback win want LFC to be a mid table team? Kretch looks like its time for you to start supporting another team, if you just can't find it within yourself to be happy with this hard fought victory. Wasted ball or not, even Messi wastes passes. What exactly is your beef and why don't you just take it somewhere else. "
"Is it just me or have all Buddha's comments disappeared? I was so looking forward to printing them and then letting the mrs read them to me as a bedtime story!"
"Good display,we were better side and we returned from behind...It's start of climbing up to me,Lucas and Johnson mean so much for this team...Shelvey has became the most useful youngster in first team,def.Cole woke up.We could win without Suarez,true.Keep fighting,guys!YNWA>"
"I think the few critics on this site forget that we played on Thursday and didn't return from Italy until Friday lunchtime. West Ham had all week to prepare. Yes Joe Allen wasn't at his best, the lad looks a bit tired. But he will be one of the Liverpool greats. So get off his back. All the lads deserve praise for the effort they put in. ynwa"
"Lol you really do know nothing about football then huh? Ok I''ll help u but for free this time, next one will cost you though, the reason glen gives the ball away too much is because he is trying to create openings!!! But I'm sure u'd rather see the defence endlessly pass it back and forth for fear of a mistake? U don't win matches by not taking chances, glen is a match winner!!!"
"Well done Liverpool and BR. Nice progress as we move forward. Next win against Aston Villa will take us a coupe of places up the table. This is a methodical and a systematic progress employed by BR. I noticed more people are commenting negatively when we lose and less write when we win! Interesting!! May be some of these are not real fans."
"I feel you fobiuz, I was asking the same question during the match what will it take before we are awarded a penalty?other than that I am super happy about the win, we saw the old LFC today, but we also saw everything that is wrong with the team today, out of form out of position lack of confidence but we fought back we can be proud of that, 3 former west ham players scored for us today :-0 YNWA"
"Now go for the goals. nothing matters but goals to kill games as early as possible. We cannot effort too many comebacks like today against stronger opponents as there is a huge tendency for injuries (touch wood) to key players chasing games. YNWA!!"
"Henderson did a good job coming on today and Downing improved during the second half, Cole was cool but took some time before finding his feets, if they can just improve on this and not have theese bad periods during matches it will be a world of good, all involved in the goals in second half"
"we may be in top four come January. If we can win all our games, Stoke, Fulham, Villa etc, then we should be close by January. With the window opening soon, we should get some lethality into our attack... then bring em on."
"well done liverpool we did great today we never really play great against big sams teams due to their intensity and phsicality. thought gerard looked very tired today and really think a week or two maybe coming off the bench would do him and the team a power of good. what do ye think?"
"way to hang in there today...Allen needs a break. What the hell is up with Liverpool never getting a call in the box...refs are out to get us. Nice to see we can score w/o Suarez. Luck was finally on our side today. Now lets go and beat villa..YNWA"
"I hope Joe Allen eventually comes good. But paying 15M for him was to say the least profligate! Guess it was to satisfy the emotional attachment of BR to his former team.Imagine how many better Midfielders we could have bought for that price. Diame-free, Cabaye-4M,Michu-2M,Mirralis-5M, Dembele-15M etc. "
"DELIGHTED WITH THAT WIN. I WONDERED WHERE THE GOALS WHERE GOING TO COME FROM AT ONE POINT BUT THE REDS PERSISTED AND KEPT PLUGGING AWAY. THOROUGHLY DESERVED REDS. JOE COLE, A GREAT CAMEO, KEEP IT UP. "
"While we can't wait to see how BR will spend money in January, he must avoid buying expensive British talents like Joe Allen by spreading his options wider across Europe. Still can't understand why BR is economical with the use of Assaidi, who is by far his best value for money signing. Sterling needs rest. Assaidi will open defences up all the time if he's allowed to grow confidence."
"KRTECH, WHAT GAME WERE YOU WATCHING ?? WE HAD TO READJUST WHEN ENRIQUE WENT OFF. AND AT 1-0 WE HAD CHANCES TO MAKE IT 2-0. WEST HAM'S GOALS WERE VERY FORTUNATE. THOROUGHLY DESERVED WIN AND A SLICE OF LUCK THAT WAS LONG OVERDUE. JOHNSON - OUTSTANDING !!"
"Highbeebee: I agree with you 100% on Assaidi he should be awarded a run of games I just cant figure out why BR keeps on denying him, why did he buy him then? He got to try his luck and play Assaidi consistent so he can grow in confidence and get used to the english game and when it happens he will pay back in bundens with assits and goals . YNWA"
"Good to get all the points. A bit of a lucky win but we'll take it! Seriously when are we going to get a PENALTY???? Clear foul on Jonjo. Specially when you see all the dodgy one's given to other teams.
YNWA"
"Bla bla bla bla blaaa highbeebee i doubt u even herd of michu and cabaye before the prem u cant dictate what would have been a good transfer well after theyve proven a good transfer idiot!"
"Great win, well done lads. Johnson, Jonjo, Cole and Henderson were terrific. This comeback should boost the confidence in the team, so keep it up.
On the other hand West Ham were all about Diame, he is a team alone. I don't understand how we overlooked him when he wanted to come, and he was for free! maybe his wage is more than 50k. lol"
"Looked like GJ was going to do it all for us in the 1st 15 mins.Sterling looked off tonite,but 3 goals without Suarez is a great result.We got a ways to go but were definitely heading in the right direction.YNWA"
"I have just learned today that a handball in the penalty box is definitely a penalty if it's against Liverpool. Go watch the game against Udinese and you will greatly appreciate the standard of refereeing in European competitions."
"It was one humdinger of a match. Congrats! But again, the job is not done yet. Everton have sneaked up in top 4 bracket, and we have to get there somehow. Hope BR continues the good work, and FSG lends a helping hand, too, in Jan. "
"BarrowRed20 you are probably one of the narrow-minded followers of the game. Diame was at Wigan last season. Michu was the highest scorer as a midfielder in La liga. If a team was deficient in goal-scoring, then it must get players who can score from all areas on the pitch. Porto have successfully scouted players across the world and had outperformed bigger teams every year."
"RedBarrow20'Dilligent and open minded scouting has also worked for Newcastle. Allan Pardew has got a lot of good players on the cheap by scouting in France. There are a lot of far better players that will come for a bargain or even free. Just compare Allen-15M with Diame-Free and Diame was quite decent for Wigan last season."
"i thought the downing & johnson on the right or downing & enrique is a good combination. Downing is improving, it was definitely a team performance! Well done!"
