Lawro to wave at Hammers fans at Anfield
Mark Lawrenson says welcomes any songs against him from the 3,000 strong Hammers contingent and says he also will give them a wave. It will come as no surprise that stubborn Lawrenson has predicted a Liverpool win this evening. Some things never change and usually his predictions bring us luck so I would be disappointed if he had predicted a West Ham victory, it would have been a bad omen for him to tip us.
Lawrenson told the BBC Sport website
“I am at Anfield for this game and expecting to hear a few songs from the travelling West Ham supporters who have been unhappy with my predictions – I will give them a wave,” joked Lawrenson. “The Hammers have beaten Liverpool twice this season in the Premier League with an aggregate score of 5-0, so they definitely know how to play against them.”
“The question is, will Liverpool have learned from what happened in those games? I don’t think they will be as bad as they were at Upton Park earlier this month. I also think reaching the Capital One Cup final will lift everybody in Jurgen Klopp’s squad, and bring extra competition for places. So I am going to go for a Liverpool win, which will really please my new West Ham friends,” he added.
