Commentary seems to suggest vidic should be off (again?), how close is he to seeing red?

He needs to be careful who he breathes on, can't see him lasting with another tackle that's remotely dubious.

West Ham aren't bad defensively, they've fielded their first team back 4 about three times this year, considering that will be with most of them coming back from injury and no where near form, its incredibly harsh to say they ARE crap, they HAVE been crap with a constantly changing line up of 2nd and 3rd string back fours, but what team wouldn't be in that situation.
Defensively it was less how bad they were with the worse line up, it was how they crumbled and stopped going forwards at all. Any team, almost any team under constant pressure created by themselves will fall apart. Its when they just start long balling it they just invite the ball constantly back in, when they pass, close down, and play in the other half, they are massively better defensively also.
They are a midtable team at worst, with the worst injury record of any team for the best part of 18 months. Honestly Zola's relatively injury free first season showed how good West Ham can be.

The problem with Valencia is that he has to work very hard to make a yard to cross.
Nani just makes it look very easy from even a standing position it's a little offer overlooked thing called skill..

Stupid thing was, it was didn't quite notice where but around the half way line, and that was running to the sideline, absolutely no danger at all, ridiculous foul. If he gets sent off for a tackle like that, there will be boots flying in the dressing room at full time, if he gets sent off for tackling someone about to go through on goal, fair enough, but with no danger on the half way line, he's having one of "those" games, frankly best off taking him off, at this stages chances of winning aren't good, Vidic getting sent off is very likely now, take the loss, have Vidic not on a ban.
Get the feeling there were heated words at half time for Evra to not come back out, very odd substitution.

We have done about 40 crosses and I don't think we've won a single header why are we still doing them? Is there no plan B?
I think the West Ham chairmen must have some photos of Ferguson in a compromising position
it's not the first time a poop West Ham side have got a shock win against you, it's you lot that kept them up a few seasons ago.Liverpool unchanged from the Sunderland game before the internationals:
---------------Reina
Carragher--Skrtel--Agger--Johnson
----------Lucas---Spearing
---Kuyt-------Suarez-----Meireles
---------------Carroll
Gerrard's not even on the bench for us which is a bit of a worry considering he's been training all week and was expected to be involved today. Hopefully we're just saving him for next week and he's not suffered any sort of setback.

Its the main problem I have with him, against a deep defence he is rubbish because he has nothing in his locker whatsoever to get past his man if they stand him up.

I think it is the plan B, giving it to Rooney and expecting him to take the whole team by himself I think is plan A and is failing miserably, so has plan C with Rooney diving several times now with the mildest of contact.
How the hell is Berbatov not on, I said before its not goals, he's calm under pressure, he'll pick out great passes for anyone, he'll hold the ball up rather than lose it like Rooney has been doing when he doesn't know what to do next.
