Yeah, also has to be said, Henderson coming on changed the game..

Overall it was a positive out come today, ignore the negatives if you want, I just hope Rodgers and the players don't, theres definitely things that need work. That said, this puts us in a great position to go on a run and climb towards 4th.

Next 4 games:

Villa (H) - win
Fulham (H)- draw/potentially win
Stoke (A)- draw
QPR(A)- win

if we can do that and take 8-10 points from the next 12, then I can see us sitting around 5th come start of January and that should be very doable.

oh and odds on us finishing in the top 4 dropped from 7/1 to 5/1

Got to be happy with three points today regardless, its two league wins on the bounce now, if we win next week it will be three and I think its well over two years since we did that. I think its a very positive result that against a team who have done well this season, Upton Park is always a difficult place to win but thats what we have done today, so well done Brendan Rogers the man deserves credit.

I think the big picture overall is we are bang on course for a top 7 or 8 finish which considering how poor we are overall I will gladly settle for, 5 wins all season in 16 games tells its own story, I think we are one defeat in 11 games and considering we are only 10th with that sort of a run shows we are average to mediocre overall, West Ham being the highest place team we have beaten this season...

Agree with most Joe good win alright but dont you ever get a bit optimistic and reckon we actually could be 4th on January 1st if were very lucky and other results go our way, 2 home games on the spin now and then QPR away could be 9 points. I still reckon were gonna finish 5th or 6th this season but i'm happy now after today almost glad we played so poor because its not very often we win playing so poor and even came from behind. Maybe lucky and should have drawn but was their penalty a penalty? And could we have avoided the second goal? Not sure. But good result otherwise happy now!

I think we can hope for a higher finish then 7th or 8th, a string of winable games until christmas, then a decent signing early in January could see us go on a run and challenge for 4th..the glass is half full...

Coming back from hat showed character. The third goal was a bit lucky, but so were both of theirs. Thrilled for Joe Cole. Henderson has looked a different player lately. Changed the game when he came on. A goal and an assist in 2 games. What is wrong with Stevie and Joe Allen though?

I think you have to give some credit to West Ham they showed a lot of grit and they were determined, also they came from behind to beat Chelsea, so getting a win against them at their place is a good performance regardless of how one might wish to nitpick at it. They were quite physical and out mussel'd us for much of the match but it's fair to say our bit of extra class came through in the end.
Rodgers showed his class as well and his tactics and substitutions were spot on. Its great to know we can go away and get a good win over a good team without having to rely on Suarez, so all in all a good days work thats 3 on the bounce, so we could be on the cusp of a nice little run here.

they are r*****h

But if you consider the fact that we took only 5 points from our 1st 6 games, 7 points from the next 5 games and 10 points from our last 5 games. it shows an unmistakeable improvement. We've won 3 of our last 5 games and drawn one. That sort of form extrapolate over a season would put a team on around 70 points.

I guess it just comes down to whether you think this is an unusually good run of form for us, or if you think this is us returning to the form that we should be showing.
