Enjoy the boys starting the defence of Our Carabao Cup in similar style to last years campaign with good ole thumping of the hammers. In what could have been a tricky fixture The Reds lined up with their second string. As much of a second string that Kelleher, Gomez, Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Jota, Tsimikas, Quansah & Bradley are of course.

Most teams would be happy if this was their starting 11. Which tells you what good shape we are in right now. Although West Ham took the lead after a goal mouth scramble bounced in off an unlucky Quansah that was all they brought to the table. We equalised quick through Jota. Then ran out easy winners with a further strike from Jota.

Then Mo came off the bench to make it three. While Gakpo fired in a late brace to set up a tie with Brighton at The Amex in the next round.
