Draw with Liverpool The jubilant atmosphere at West Ham was short-lived after the EFL Cup draw was announced late this evening.
In typical Hammers fashion, shortly after enjoying victory over Arsenal, David Moyes’s side were in trouble as we were held to a draw against Liverpool at Anfield.
Although I don’t usually subscribe to conspiracy theories, the outcome of the draw seemed almost predetermined, as it was widely predicted in many text messages, emails and WhatsApp messages which I received the day after the 3-1 win over Arsenal.
.Liverpool’s formidable home record makes this match arguably the toughest away game in domestic football.
Players like Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus had heroic performances.
However, West Ham still has a glimmer of hope.
The quarter-finals are likely to be scheduled between Liverpool’s matches against Manchester United and Arsenal, potentially giving the Hammers a strategic advantage.
