Oh baby! Randolph’s return planned days ago
Yesterday’s Hammers hero of the 4th Round FA Cup Tie was involved in the 3-0 League win early season and was instrumental in keeping our unbeaten seasonal record intact yesterday.
And he revealed Slav had told him early in the week he would be playing regardless of Adrian returning home for the birth of his first child.
He told www.whufc.com: “We have had two decent results this season at Anfield. We have had two good performances from the team and I like coming here!
“I am happy to play whenever I can. The manager told me at the start of the week that I was going to start as it was the FA Cup. I am just happy to play.
“Every game is an opportunity for me. When I get the chance I need to show the manager what I can do. It would be nice to have a good cup run.
“We are full of confidence going into the replay. We are in good form and want to keep winning. It builds confidence. We have already had two victories against Liverpool this season and we came here thinking we could get a result.
“It is never easy playing at Anfield and they have a good squad. It was always going to be tough regardless of who was playing and they have a point to prove if they are not getting much game time.”
He added: “Adrian still travelled up with us but he had to leave first thing on Saturday. I told him to text me when something happens.
“The first I knew about him leaving was at 5am in the morning when he sent me a text message saying he was on his way to the airport.
“I told him to let me know if there are developments. I will keep in touch with him to see how he is going.”
