Slaven Bilic and the West Ham squad simply cannot suffer another humiliation tomorrow afternoon.
If last weekend was bad – and it was very bad – just imagine what reaction there will be given that this match is on TV and being shown across the world.
A repeat of the sort of display we saw last weekend in front of the cameras would genuinely represent a crisis of epic proportions for the manager.
Until now, correctly, the lid has been kept on all talk of a major managerial crisis but that would be impossible to maintain should things go completely and utterly wrong at Anfield.
Burnley and Hull would give Slaven and the team a breathing space but the world is watching tomorrow and judgement will be hard to escape.
I am expecting us to nick something. I am expecting a vastly improved performance but I am ready to accept that this 90 minutes is as important as any we will have witnessed in a very long time.

It’s the biggest match of our season so far . It will dictate whether we are in a relegation fight or not . Bilic and the team need to use this occasion to demonstrate our will to survive .
Television should not influence the game ; there many games up and the country where teams are either struggling or having a great time .
It’s time to start and get things right at West Ham . Have a sneaky feeling we will beat Liverpool ., but the the Burnley Game could be just as big , if not bigger seeing as we must play in our new home which , so far is proving to be far from Home .
Crucial times for the Hammers .
Not talking about managers here ! , just about our Club . The Manager problem will raise its head again soon enough .
Right now we need a performance to warm up the fans with the festive season games looming large . Bottom three clubs over Christmas rarely survive .
