Game Summary:
No question that Liverpool is lacking of strength in depth. After the tiring Europa encounter against Sparta Pargue three days ago, Liverpool players left with no energy against a rejuvenated West Ham side who tried very hard to fight for survival. Liverpool still tried to play recently effective formation 3-4-2-1. However, with Kelly, Kyrgiakos and Agger all out injured, Liverpool had so much trouble contained the athletic Hammers forwards. Parker and Hitzelberger had also out-played Gerrard and Lucas in the central midfield. Suarez was still the one and only dangerous attacking threat from the Reds. Despite a poor 1st half, he produced moments of magic and almost helped the team to tie the game. After 8 unbeaten games in the league and Europe, Liverpool finally faced a minor set-back.
