Premier League<\/a> relegation zone.<\/p>\nThe Hammers led after the influential midfielder poked home from outside the area, with Demba Ba adding a second on the stroke of half time.<\/p>\n
Liverpool pulled a goal back through Glen Johnson, but Carlton Cole’s stoppage time goal made sure of the victory, leaving Parker and his team-mates in optimistic mood.<\/p>\n
“It’s a massive win for us,” Parker told BBC Sport<\/em>. “Obviously it was a difficult game today [against] Liverpool, first half we played some good stuff and deservedly were ahead, and we’re pleased to get the three points.”<\/p>\nThe England international admitted the Hammers had feared letting their two-goal lead slip after Johnson’s strike for the visitors.<\/p>\n
“I’d be lying if I stood here and said we wasn’t [concerned about conceding],” he said. “I think the way the season’s gone for us we normally find ourselves in them positions, the other team gets a goal back and it becomes a bit nervous.<\/p>\n
“But Carlton came on today, did very well and got the third which eased it a little bit, but we fully deserved our win today.<\/p>\n
“I thought we put Liverpool under immense pressure at times and they were struggling a bit. It was a pleasing result.”<\/p>\n
West Ham remain in the bottom three on goal difference, but Parker thinks manager Avram Grant has enough quality at his disposal to guide the club away from trouble.<\/p>\n
He added: “You look at our squad on paper and we’ve got a strong squad. We’ve got strong players up front who can score goals like you’ve seen over the last few weeks and we just need to win games now.<\/p>\n
“We know we’re at the right end of the season now, we’re coming towards the end, we’ve got however many games we’ve got left and we need to win some games.<\/p>\n
“I think we’ve been angry and frustrated all year but I’ve said it many a time before, the table doesn’t lie, we’re there for a reason because we’ve not performed at times.<\/p>\n
“But in saying that, I think we’ve always believed – even at times when it’s been really bad – that we can get out of this and we still certainly do.”\n<\/p>\n
