If you have anything to say about that, from a Liverpool or West Brom perspective, you know where to find me. Thanks for joining us this afternoon!
90+3
That's the final whistle, West Brom beat Liverpool 3-0 as Brendan Rodgers's league debut for Liverpool ends in a heavy defeat.
90+2
Carroll goes in clumsily on Olsson, not a terrible tackle but West Brom overreact, Ridgewell in particular. Yellow card, which is still harsh in my view for an awkward but not dangerous challenge.
90+1
A long ball releases Fortune down the left, he knocks it back for Brunt whose shot hits Gerrard.
90'
Three minutes added time to be played.
88'
West Brom just stroking it about now. Liverpool want this to end. A nightmare introduction for Brendan Rodgers.
87'
Carroll gets his first half-touch as a high ball flies over his head and into Foster's arms.
85'
Liverpool fans leaving in their droves now. Who can blame them?
84'
Liverpool are hanging on to prevent a fourth and I can see one coming as Mulumbu hammers one just over.
83'
Fortune with a fantastic long-range effort that is tipped around the post by Reina!
82'
Fortune almost finds Lukaku again, cleared but only to Odemwingie who drills a low shot straight at Reina.
81'
WEST BROM SUB: Brunt on for Morrison.
81'
Suarez just wide with a free header, another good chance for him that he should have taken.
80'
Just wide by Lukaku via a Skrtel block after he powered through. Could be more for West Brom, who have a corner.
79'
LIVERPOOL SUB: Cole's hamstring hasn't recovered from that Europa League tweak and he comes off.
78'
That is also Lukaku's first goal in the Premier League, having failed to find the net in his bit-part role at parent club Chelsea last season.
77'
GOAL WEST BROM! Lukaku on his debut with a powerful header after Ridgewell's fine cross came following the initial corner, which had been cleared. 3-0!
76'
The Baggies counter through Fortune but Kelly catches up with him and knocks it behind for a corner.
75'
Liverpool don't look like they're a man down, but they are and West Brom are just sitting back and soaking up the pressure.
