A tale of THREE corners: Liverpool took full advantage of poor Hammers defending to lead by three goals at the break. [West Ham,](https://www.claretandhugh.info/liverpool-vs-west-ham-preview-team-news-predicted-line-ups-big-blow-for-slot/) down but not out, had a host of chances as they continued to press forward.
The third, a volley in by MacAllister, was a failure to clear the second ball and the Hammers found themselves incredibly three goals down despite several chances which on another day could have seen a couple of goals.
Summerville’s pace and mazy runs looked impressive, Bowen and Taty took shots that were blocked and Aaron Wan Bissaka ended up in the penalty box on several occasions as Nuno’s side tried – in vain – to impose themselves on the game and get something on the scoresheet.
Liverpool looking vulnerable at the back most certainly don’t look like keeping a clean sheet but Nuno’s side look to have left themselves a mountain to climb.
Three goals from set pieces. Liverpool scored from their corners, West Ham didn’t score from theirs. A simple equation.
Depressing to watch and surely dispiriting for the team who somehow have to try and pick themselves up for a second half with no resources on the bench to engender a comeback.
