I agree with the first 2, but Huddersfield played well and were very unlucky when 1 down when they hit the post, and then hit it again later. They get back in numbers but came at us frequently which against other mid table teams, I’ll think they’ll fair well against.

Guessing you watched the match in its entirety so you'll have a better handle on it...

Neves is by far the best player we've ever had. Will move to a top club, but not for a couple years hopefully.

Fair result yesterday, thought we looked a little nervy but that's to be expected from a newly promoted club. Jimenez looks a real player too, chased everything and get what he deserved with his goal.

Onto Leicester next week with a few lessons learnt and some issues ironed out.

Only 45 minutes gone and yes it’s the first game of the season etc, but, if Liv continue like this I don’t see Henderson being a regular starter, midfield looks very strong and offensive.

Well that was a nice impressive start and felt like there was still far more in the tank - Keita is just going to be a star , VVD is so key as well - great to have so many options in the midfield where players can mix and match depending on the oppo but can see Keita being the one who will be constant. Some very good signs and then strong players coming off the bench.

As for West Ham - Can see why Anderson struggled to start for Lazio , spent most of the game in AA pocket , felt sorry for Arnuantovic - worked very hard for little reward. The midfield very weak with Noble and Wilshire in there - going to be a long season for them.

Yes agree but thought Milner best on the pitch.
Great display for the first game and think we look very strong all over.

Best pass to Arnoutivic was from the ref great tackle. ( rule needs amending imo.)

How did he not send Balbougha for second yellow.

Piss poor from Lino Mane clearly off.

missed some sitters though and should should have been seven.
WH looked poor tactically very high line you can’t do that against a team like Liverpool and manager never changed anything.

Looking at today you have bigger problems than Noble , heard a lot of people talk about Anderson saying he just wouldn’t fit into the Prem and that’s a worry when you spend £42 mil on him and today you can see why the pundits were suggesting it. And the bigger issue is - goalscorer , don’t see who is going to score you a good amount of goals. The CB who should have been sent off was given a lesson today by Firmino - was turned far too easily as was Fredericks - big step up for him. Yarmolenko looked bright when he came on but had to agree with the pundit on the radio when I drove home ( might have been Hartson ) that West Ham despite spending £100 could find themselves in a relegation battle - some big games coming up

So City same a last season - but Arsenal could have made that game a lot closer - plenty of chances , when the strikers find their scoring boots they will do a lot better - young lad in the middle had a bit about him

But both keepers nearly made a proper howler each

Arnie will be banging them in all season he will finish with 15 plus goals
Hernandez is a goal scorer

Anderson started bright but it’s his first game in this league..

Defensively was hard to judge when you have a weak midfield but your playing with 10 men with noble giving the ball away

Stick Obiang in there and watch the whole dynamic will change
