Liverpool 2-0 West Ham: Four things we learned – Undroppable Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at it again
We’re electric on the break
We’ve got all sorts of tricks under our sleave and the penalty was earned thanks to a quick counter-attack that ended with Origi being fouled in the box, and the ice-cool Salah stepped up and drilled it into the back of Lukas Fabianski’s net.

The second goal came through a break from our own penalty area as a corner fell to red shirts and the King was there to carry it into West Ham’s half. Liverpool can dominate possession and cause death by a thousand cuts, they can spread it wide and get Andy Robertson or Trent Alexander-Arnold to wipe it in or they can just clear the ball and have it in the back of the opposition net in three seconds.
With our pace and passing ability Liverpool are absolutely electric on the break and it showed on Wednesday night. But that has to combine with a clinical attack and we are that too. Oxlade-Chamberlain had one chance and he buried it, Mo was faultless with the penalty.
Teams can’t work out how to stop this Liverpool side and that’s something beautiful to witness. They try and clamp down on the full-backs and we find a way, they sit deep and we find a way. They dare to attack and we hit on the break. This is a historic team, drink it all in.
