Zenden boosted by goalscoring sub appearance

Bolo was delighted to get his first goal for the Reds in front of the Kop:

"It was special to get my first in front of the Kop," claims the Dutch star. "It was good for me and good to settle the match that way. That [win] was a big boost for our confidence and I was pleased to get my first goal. We needed that second goal to finish the game off as we created a lot of chances but again couldn't convert them into goals. "You have to give credit to West Ham because they came here with a very offensive attitude. Their full-backs came forward, and midfielders went forward. You must give them credit for coming here and trying as too many sides just put everyone across the box and try to stop you getting a goal while hoping to grab something on the counter. "The critics labelled us with the tag that we can't do it in the domestic league and we are only good in Europe. It is up to the players to make sure that doesn't happen. By the end of the week we could be in the last 16 of the Champions League. That is how quickly things can be turned around. If we get a run now and wins under our belts, things will look a lot different in a few weeks time."

Bolo hasn't had too many chances to impress but scoring an important goal should enable him to start our next game against Anderlecht.
