Proven at doing what exactly??

His record here isn't much worse than his French one. He's proven to be about as prolific as Carlton Cole and generally less effective. Fingers crossed he hits form here, but how he got his reputation in France is beyond me.

I would be more than happy for him to play a team of kids. If there is one season where WHU can't afford to be distracted from staying up by having a cup run or by getting more injuries to important players, this is it. Odd post. We're 11th, four wins away from safety with 18 games left and a stron...

This is gona be a lesson in counter-attacking football. They are so desparate for the points so they will throw everything at us. Then we just soak it up and catch them on the break. If Sam sets us up right I think they will play right into our hands and we will take the 3 points back to London. Ma...

Bench is looking strong again. Good to see.

Only six subs named.

Should make it hard for them to score with that Liverpool team.

Any idea of subs yet?

Let's hope we don't get an injury at the back.

Chambers or Spence facing Tevez, Nasri, Balotelli and Dzeko (with Aguero to come on) would be a bit of a baptism of fire.

Demel away from being our best side, probably.

I think we'll win comfortably. We owe them a couple.

Does anyone else have a horrible feeling this is going to be the new 'Tevez/Ashton' and 'Ashton/Bellamy' in terms of being a wonderful partnership that never actually happens for whatever reason?

Another month before Carroll's back isn't it? I think Tomkins deserves to be ahead of Collins in the pecking order. Nothing against Collins particularly, I just think Tomkins was our best centre back last season and I think he can absolutely make the step up. Other than that, I'd just bring Jarvis i...

Cole and Taylor off.

Maiga and Jarvis on.

I reckon this is more the sort of game Jarvis will make an impact.

Intriguing half. Reminds me a lot of the games we won away last season Pretty flat. Silly errors going unpunished and Championship-level opposition. Collins is really lucky. Was outside the area, but awful timing on the tackle. Needs to cut that out second half. Has made a few errors today. Diame lo...

We could do a lot worse than Gabbidon on a one-year deal as emergency cover.

We've brought in the rest of the 06/07 squad this window. Might as well got the whole hog. Where's Carl Fletcher these days?

Duff? Really? Didn't even think he was their best player I thought Diarra was very good for them. IMO Momo Diame was the best player on the pitch, strength, acceleration, vision, great dribbling, looked like he was playing against children at times. Maybe with children. I don't know what game you w...

Think "The Independent" got it Spot On, which is a Credit to many of us who support The Hammers through thick and thin! "So far, so very good. Purists among the West Ham support, who are more plentiful than at most grounds, may shake their heads but they cannot complain about the eff...

Just a shame Millwall or winning or it would be the perfect start to the weekend.

Cracking save, Jussi.

He's done well too today.

Carroll probably just nicks MOTM for me. Vital to everything that was so great about that first half.

Tightness only, according to pitchside reporter.
