02:07the club situations like that

05:29systems
05:29that's
05:36the
05:37door is past to pray brook still in play
05:42that was a good idea to pray brook i think against this liverpool defense
05:45west ham have got to keep the ball down they haven't got the height to beat players like
05:49gates stevenson
05:54thompson
05:57stevenson

07:33what a game this man's having
07:37good enough to look at more closely and there's mill making the pass to strong
07:43now watch thompson appear on the left there is just in picture now
07:47watch him take this one in his stride as the defense moves across to cover him
07:51waste no time at all a beautiful shot he doesn't give up now after the hit post
07:59still charges after the ball now watch him take the defense on the wrong foot
08:03just pull the defense right out get it completely off its guard and then try a right-footed shot with
08:11the defense going the wrong way this one no mistake it's two nil for liverpool
08:26back to peters
08:32well i think the move worked as it was meant to
08:38and by mr carr's watch it's half time
08:43and mcgiverson first half
08:47thoroughly enjoyed by this big crowd especially the 20-odd thousand behind the goal on the square
08:52and got thompson both the goals for liverpool who've been in superb form

09:11trip by peters

09:34and mill with callahan inside and he's number two lawless come up into the attack
09:45who always managed to have at least one men three this is law
09:50oh it's offside the lines were snagging but offside thompson
