Available Sunday lunchtime.
-
Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar [c], Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Bannan, Sylla, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Benteke.
-
No Clark then, come on you Villa boys we really need something from this game
-
Not a bad team selection, though I'd have rather had someone other than Bannan in the midfield. N'Zogbia, maybe? Anyway, good luck lads, and wipe the smiles off the faces of Suarez and Stevie Fucking G. 2-2, Bent to score one of our goals.
-
Surprised Delph has been left out, thought he was fantastic prior to his ban. Is he on the bench? Is Bent on the bench too?

@MatKendrick: No place for Darren Bent on the bench despite the striker's return to training #avfc
-
Thanks eastie. A half fit bent has gotta be better than bowery
-
suprised about bent if he is fit.
-
been out a whike so I would guess not risking it.
surprised not gone with delph over sylla though.
glad baker is ok to start. away today so no stream.... listening on here it is.
last time I was here we beat west ham away under ged to start our revival.... fingers crossed.
-
come on Villa. 3 points today and we will be staying up , no doubt about it . Come on my Villa boys....
-
Just win Villa please.
-
Come on Villa.
-
Jammie Rednapp just called us a "proper club"
-
C'mon Villa make it 3 straight wins.
-
Come on you Lions! 3 points PRETTY PLEASE!
-
Strangely I think we'll get a bit of a beating today 3-0, 4-1 or so. But I don't think it will affect us in the (7 game) long term. We'll get something against Stoke and set us up to try and get the points that we need thereafter.
-
3-2 Villa. Benteke hatrick, Suarez and Downing for them.
-
get beaten heavily and it could kill us. ee need to keep norwich in it... norwich can be caught imo
-
Big game this one, with Wigan and Southampton winning.
Surprised Bannan is playing.
Downing to score?
-

No , I have my Barrett .50 Cal sniper all set on the little weasle ....
-
Fucking come on Villa.
-
fuckin hell Baker, distribution.
-
Liverpoo treading water , thats our chance ....
-
Afternoon everyone! Come on the Villa!!
-
Happy Godbollocks day everyone.
COMEONVILLA!
-
thats a chance
-
That was a really good chance, Westwood played a great ball to Bennett who hit a great cross and Benteke missed it.
-
Chance.
-
Bennett is a great crosser.
-
Suarez already causing problems dropping off the back 4.
-
Struggling to get on the ball and Liverpool are running off us.
-
Afternoon chaps, hows things?
-
Struggling to get on the ball and Liverpool are running off us.
like how it started at anfield
-
Vlaar is utterly, utterly, utterly shite.
-
We're allowing far too much space.
-
Really poor by Vlaar - must out put these stupid errors.
-
Vlaar is utterly, utterly, utterly shite.
No he's not. He miss-kicked but he's been covering Suarez well so far.
-
get stuck in Villa
-
I have a bad feeling about this match.
Thankfully Carragher is playing and he is uber shite these days
-
Vlaar is utterly, utterly, utterly shite.
No he's not. He missed kicked but he's been covering Suarez well so far.
Yes he is, he's completely lost Suarez at least twice now, and the last time Suarez just jogged past him and Vlaar hardly bothered to chase back. He's hopeless.
-
babban ffs
-
Vlaar is utterly, utterly, utterly shite.
No he's not. He missed kicked but he's been covering Suarez well so far.
Yes he is, he's completely lost Suarez at least twice now, and the last time Suarez just jogged past him and Vlaar hardly bothered to chase back. He's hopeless.
And just lost Coutinho. Poor.
-
Fucking hell Bannan, don't be shit.
-
Bannan sloppy - bring on Delph ( just for johne)
-
that he may but results are better with than withiut him
-
I've discovered that I have a problem with buffering on firefox. IE is fine. anyone know what that could be? I thought it was my broadband at first

No he's not.
-
Fucking hell Westwood terrible.
-
2 stupid mistakes so far.
-
Well, I think we can probably put this down as the poor 45 minutes. Hopefully the good 45 minutes will be second half.
-
Great from Gabby, and lovely pass from Weimann.
-
We look poor but the front 3 look threatening when they get the ball.
-
Benteke really is a class above anything we've had up front for a good long while isn't he.
-
Crap corner. Quelle surprise.
-
Error strewn back 8. Clever forwards. Of course.
-
Gah! Good save? Come on Villa! Sounds encouraging.
-
thats got to be a goal
-
Ooooh, Gabby should have scored.
-
Awful miss gabby!
-
Lowton great ball, Gabby how the fuck didn't you score.
-
Fucky bollocks.
-
Reina knew FUCK ALL about that.
-
Crap corner. Quelle surprise.
we have found a team mate ove 10% more often than any other side from corners, so yes its a bit if surprise
-
That is an appalling miss.
-
Lowton great ball, Gabby how the fuck didn't you score.
Not sure why he's laughing - the jokes on him !
-
come on now gabby you know you can get in there.
-
Error strewn back 8. Clever forwards. Of course.
Contradicting myself, a sitter each missed by Benteke and Gabby.
-
what the fook is that BB
-
Anyone know if its ok to install that desktop app from firstrow?
-
Fucking hell Vlaar.
-
Crap corner. Quelle surprise.
we have found a team mate ove 10% more often than any other side from corners, so yes its a bit if surprise
What does that prove? You could fine somebody in the centre circle, how many times have we looked dangerous from them?
-
You cannot give Suarez space in the box Villa.
-
we had the ball back since bannon did that bloody over hit cross
-
We look bright going forward but shit at the back again.
-
Fucking hell Vlaar.
Ball watching again, christ he's shite.
-
How isn't that a yellow?
-
Fucking hell Vlaar.
Ball watching again, christ he's shite.
No he's not.
-
what happened rigadon?
-
not sure if its been mentioned on another thread but has anyone else seen the support stan ads on lorries. ive seen 2
-
what happened rigadon?
Lucas swiping Gabby down.
-
Fucking hell Vlaar.
Ball watching again, christ he's shite.
No he's not.
Oh yes he is.
-
Oh Andi better cross please, but we're improving and getting possession.
-
Fucking hell Vlaar.
Ball watching again, christ he's shite.
No he's not.
Oh yes he is.
No.
-
Bennett and Lowton do both put decent crosses in.
-
Fucking hell Vlaar.
Ball watching again, christ he's shite.
No he's not.
Oh yes he is.
Excuse me is this a 5 minute argument or the full half hour?
-
Fucking hell Vlaar.
Ball watching again, christ he's shite.
No he's not.
Oh yes he is.
No.
Enough already!!
-
We try and pass it around, but the running into space and movement off the ball is still notable by its absence.
-
First time ive dared look and its 75% possession to Liverpool according to BBC. Are we really that bad?
-
Played well but nearly let Suarez in then.
-
Too easy for Suarez there - must get tighter on him.
-
Baker lost Suarez there! Did well to get back though.
-
First time ive dared look and its 75% possession to Liverpool according to BBC. Are we really that bad?
No I reckon it's 50/50 now.
-
Fucking hell Vlaar.
Ball watching again, christ he's shite.
No he's not.
Oh yes he is.
No.
Enough already!!
Why? I'm having a great time.
-

No I reckon it's 50/50 now.
Phew. I'll look again at half time, that's all my nerves will take.
-
1348:
Aston Villa 0-0 Liverpool
How do you deal with Christian Benteke? Jamie Carragher does it by taking a fist full of shirt as they jostle at a free-kick. Nothing given on that occasion but a risky game from Carragher.
BBC
-
Anyone know if its ok to install that desktop app from firstrow?
If you mean the iLivid one, I have avoided. I have loaded iLivid before and it puts a lot of crap on your computer that is difficult to get rid of.
-
Again. A yellow.
-

No I reckon it's 50/50 now.
Phew. I'll look again at half time, that's all my nerves will take.
They ran the game in the first 10/15 but it's mainly the Villa since then. We've had the best chances.
-
not going to get pens given against carragher
-
First time ive dared look and its 75% possession to Liverpool according to BBC. Are we really that bad?
BBC are watching a different game to me.
-
Got to fucking deal with Suarez.
-
Benteke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Thank you.
-
YESSSSS!!!!!!!
-
Great touch from Gabby! Lovely finish from Benteke
-
Goaaaalll!
-
What a bloody great goal.
-
Fucking hell Vlaar.
Ball watching again, christ he's shite.
No he's not.
Oh yes he is.
No.
Enough already!!
Why? I'm having a great time.
Oh no you'''''''r not
-
Get in there!
-
Christian Benteke. The greatest player the world has ever seen.
-
Lovely goal and well deserved so far. Front three have been great
-
Lovely finish - what I would give for a clean sheet today .
-
Great challenge Baker.
-
watched it from the back camera and he had to adjust his foot for the clean shot in the space of a milli second. class pure class.
-
Lovely finish - what I would give for a clean sheet today .
Never going to happen mate. We'll need 2 at least.
-
What an unbelievable challenge from Baker.
-
Great tackle baker!
-
Our forward three are fucking ace!!
-
Christian Benteke. The greatest player the world has ever seen.
Oh yes he is.
-
Our forward three are fucking ace!!
Sylla and Westwood are doing well now.
-
Vlaar....dear god. Why?
-
Our forward three are fucking ace!!
Sylla and Westwood are doing well now.
Was it Westwood who hit the long pass to Gabby?
-
Need to not concede before half time.
-
Got to fucking deal with Suarez.
Cricket bat the rat faced twat
-
Bannan - if that had been a goal I'd have shot you myself.
-
Great save Guzan, fucking Bannan you twat you nearly gave them a goal.
-
Really. WTFF?
-
Oh Bannan.
-
Best ball Bannan has played all day that.
-
Get that fukkin shit bannan off - Delph on !
-
He does that far far too often for a ball playing midget.
-
Bannan is shit, no situational awareness at all
-
Save Guzan, wake the fuck up Villa.
-
Get that fukkin shit bannan off - Delph on !
Have to say I agree with that, Bannan is going to cost us.
-
is delph on the bench?
-
Suarez is causing big problems with his movement.
-
is delph on the bench?
Yep
-
Suarez is so dangerously.
-
I'd be warming up in front of the technical area if i was Delph.
-
Carragher - shirt pulling again!
-
Good half.
-
Really good half. Benteke has been amazing.
-
Right mixed half, when we play well we're good and when we play badly we're awful. Fucking come on Villa.
-
Well played Villa. Good pressure, good goal and good running down the clock to half time. Even Gabby didnt want to risk a pass to Bannan at the end though!
-
Suarez is so dangerously.
He's a fantastic player, the rat-faced racist little scrote.
-
Suarez is so dangerously.
He's a fantastic player, the rat-faced racist little scrote.
That just about sums him up.
-
Good half. Gabbys looked strong and confident which always makes us look much better. We're obviously playing with fire with the game being so open but I think that's how we've got to play it, go for the win!
-
Weirdly we've defended well yet look like conceding every time they get the ball. For all his twatiness, you have to say Suarez is an outstanding footballer and you can just see goals coming. Still, great to be one up, hope we can get 2 or 3 which could get us the three points.
Baker probably our best player.
-
Suarez is so dangerously.

Player of the season but for that!
-
Good half, Bannan needs to be replaced, liability
-
We'll concede so we need at least another one. Sylla and Westwood doing a good job in midfield now they've settled. Bannan's error was criminal and Gabby's miss was horrible although he made up for it with the touch to Benteke.
-
That was a bloody good first half performance. We're finding room for the front three to make runs in dangerous areas and between the three of them we look very threatening. I'm concerned how easy it is for Liverpool to thread balls through to Ratboy but both Vlaar and Baker are getting in challenges.
If we can keep up the pressure and composure we will continue to make chances. Entertaining game, something we haven't said too often at Villa Park over the last few years.
-
If we can stop Suarez, then maybe, maybe, we can stop Liverpool. Just can't see it, though. Still a draw for me.
-
Gotta stop the shirt pulling, it's really winding me up. The ref don't seem able to stop it.
-
Please please win Villa.
-
Come on Villa! No reason why we can't win today.
-
So far, Sylla's been good, Baker's been absolutely superb. We're struggling to cope with Suarez and Coutinho's movement, but so do a lot of teams. They're just very good players.
Second half, they're going to push up from the off. Gabby needs to stand next to Carragher, who is about as mobile as a cement mixer, and every time we win it back, we should lob a ball in behind.
-
Delph for Bannan please .
Suarez is causing us problems but we knew that .
What a ball for goal by Westy
-
Still think we'll win this. Liverpool are the most powderpuff side in the premier.
-
I'd put Delph on for Bannan, then stretch them last 25 mins by bringing on N'Zogbia.
-
Defo need Delph on for bannan - that aside everyone is playing well enough , we look good going forward and the full backs are getting good crosses in - Westwood and sylla look ok - just weak link bannan.
-
Someone needs to ask the ref to watch Carraghers shirt pulling. Said it all season. Baker is our best defender ....
-
If I was a woman, I'd want benteke's baby right now.
-

Baker looks better in central defence than Clark- no question!
-
Please fucking win Villa.
-
Right come on Villa. Good second half here and we are on our way
-
Good half. Gabbys looked strong and confident which always makes us look much better. We're obviously playing with fire with the game being so open but I think that's how we've got to play it, go for the win!
That's been the main difference in the last few games. All the good work he does brings out the best in the others.
-
Lucas has to be on his last warning now.
-
There we go 1-1, fucking shocking.
-
FFS Not again
-
Inevitable.
-
WAY to easy
-
Fuck sake worst start possible.....argh
-
Jacksie break straight to Stvie fucking G and our denfenders go missing yet agin.
-
We're finished now probably.
-
Shocking defending, if we go down it'll be because our defence is atrocious.
-
I blame Bannan. |Not because he did anything wrong
-
We were never going to keep a clean sheet. We'll need three to beat these.
-
Gerrard reffing the game again. ******
-
Disappointing - very!
-
Fucking come on Villa.
-
When did we last keep a clean sheet, I genuinely can't remember.
-
Get Bannan off, now.
-
When did we last keep a clean sheet, I genuinely can't remember.
December the 8th apparently
-
Need to keep our heads here
-
Liverpool pressing much higher this half.
-
Gabby you fucking tit, pass the ball.
-
FFS Gabby......
-
What a waste
-
Fuck off ugly.
-
Really poor again gabby - sylla free and in on goal :(
-
Get Bannan off, now.
I don't what he offers at all. He looks busy because he's small and he needs 50 steps for every one for other players. He gives the ball away so much and never plays the killer ball that I though he was in there for.
-
Always with us nearly it must be.
-
I sense N'Zogbia for Bannan soon.
-
Get Bannan off, now.

x2
-
Delph on for Bannan please.
-
suarez has everything. He's a cheat, sly, ugly, looks a bit like Tom Cruise and he moans. Shame he's good
-
Must get bannan off or this game will run away from us.
-
Jesus.....
-
fuck me
-
Defence again, Coutinho in and misses luckily. Horrible defence.
-
Thank God for that
-
Change it Lambert. Now.
-
fuck me, they will go to town on us if we don't get a grip...
-
suarez has everything. He's a cheat, sly, ugly, looks a bit like Tom Cruise and he moans. Shame he's good
Looks more like Peter Beardsley than Tom cruise - ever thought about becoming a referee mal?
-
Our fucking defence.....seriously...
-
Need to take Bannan off.
-
suarez has everything. He's a cheat, sly, ugly, looks a bit like Tom Cruise and he moans. Shame he's good
Looks more like Peter Beardsley than Tom cruise - ever thought about becoming a referee mal?
I'd be the most hated ref ever
-
Do they no it's not halftime anymore?
-
Bloody Hell
-
Liverpool all over us now - must get Delph on to help midfield.
-
Something's got to give soon.
-
Fucking hell they hit the post, make a change.
-
Is gabby blowing or has he just lost his head?
-
We have to change something, quick.
-
Baker you clumsy fucking wanker. Penalty.
-
Penalty FFS
-
Fucks sake
-
Oh dear, Baker's impetuosity yet again
-
Great. Stupid fuck.
All from Barry fucking Bannan falling over again.
-
Might take off gabby or Weimann and get Delph on - too late now pen!
-
Always fuking diving in Baker you dickhead.
-
Suicide. As usual.
-
We love giving gifts, don't we?
-
feck it....
-
same old, same old, welcome back the Villa we know
-
We have been dross so fat this half. Lambert should've changed it 5 ninutes ago.
-
We're fucking buried now, terrible half and Lambert didn't change when should have.
-
All the hard work chucked away - we have been utterly shocking this half:(
-
Shitey ****** bollocks.
-
fuckshitpisscuntwank
-
A team with our dire defence doesn't deserve to stay up.
-
We're going to grt hammered now.What is Lambert saying at half time FFS
-
We could all see it neede changing , except lambert - poor!
-
Baker might play well a lot of the game, but his idiotic lunges will constantly hold us back.
-
As soon as it's 1-3 i'm fooking off to the pub!
-
So unprofessional, just when we need a bit of know how and a steady hand on the tiller, we just crumble. So so fragile
-
Oh Andi....
-
Bad miss Weimann.
-
Awful miss. Awful.
-
Delph and Nzogbia on for Bannan and Weimann
-
We're going to grt hammered now.What is Lambert saying at half time FFS
Mmmmmmppphhhsssfffttgghhhh
-
He's subbed now as well. Do something N'Zog.
-
Changes too late!!!
-
good fuck off bannan
-
The midget should never have started
-
The worst thing almost is that the coachload who follow Wigan will be loving this. They should also be offering sacrifices to Mark Halsey, who gifted them their home win v Newcastle.
-
Great Weimann's injured.
-
Weimann and gabby have missed great chances- Delph and nzog for bannan and Weimann - 10 minutes too late !
-
This ref needs to grow pair and book these ****** for the constant moanong and complaining
-
So sad as we have a potent attack and yet can't defend for toffee .
-
Fuck sake..Gerrard
-
Fuck off Gerrard you ******, clears off the line.
-
Off the line
-
Fuck off Gerrard
-
Fuck off Gerrard
This
-
****** luck
-
It's shit or bust now.
-
Fucking hell Bennett injured now.
-
Bennett seems alright.
-
I always enjoy those lingering shots of 'Stevie G' looking statuesque that sky can't get enough of.

Captain marvel.
-
I'm sure this season is gong to give me an ulcer.
-
at least we have a bit of belief and passion in our play, just cant defend
-
Fucking come on Villa, we've completely thrown this away.
-
Shouldn't be losing this game - individual errors cost us badly .
-
at least we have a bit of belief and passion in our play, just cant defend
Which makes what happened in January all the more frustrating.
-
I'm sure this season is gong to give me an ulcer.
I've been poorly and am retiring early. I blame Villa's defence.
-
southampton beating them has done us. Pool really want it
-
As much as you can scream abuse at the manager, he didn't send players out to make massive mental errors. Look across the season and there are so many examples of craziness that you'd scream at the 10yr for not a supposedly professional footballer at the top level of English football. It's maddening and depressing to think about what we've done to ourselves let alone what others have done to us this year.

100%
-
This is shocking.
-
Well played Sylla, fucking do something El Ahmadi.
-
Well played Sylla, fucking do something El Ahmadi.
Run sideways and generally look half a yard too slow?
-
Any other team would be really going for this now, including anyone who was 2-1 down to us. Instead of which we seem happy to just let things fizzle out. I can't imagine, say, Southampton, not throwing the kitchen sink at them if they were in the same position as us with 15 minutes to go

We've given away more than Bill Gates this season.
-
A win here would have been so valuable, even a point would have been critical.

He's had all season to see just how shit our defence is, yet did NOTHING to rectify the situation in January. And January came after a truly horrendous December defence-wise.
-
Looked really good today. One of the few positives.
-
This is painful
-
We've been fucking diabolical this half.
-
Oh just hoof it. This sideways and backwards possession football is pointless
-
Thought it was Sylla's least effective performance today
-
Idiotic foul Delph.
-
To many below average players in our team I'm afraid
-

It isn't just the defence. It's all over the pitch where we make those errors. I'm dismissing your point, because the defence is also poor quality wise.
Edit - NOT dismissing your point
-
"(Here) we go again."
-
Utter garbage this half - totally unacceptable.
-
Rubbish corner.
-
Where's the urgency FFS
-
So many over hit corners today.
-
Fucking El Ahmadi.

The defence have been the main culprits though. None of them look like natural defenders, Vlaar is terrible, Clark even worse and Bennett looks like a League 1 winger, definitely not a left back.
-
We've been everything that sees us bottom 3 this half. Ponderous, slow, fragile and wasteful.
-
sorry can i scream at that baker lunge again?
-
Now we need 4-6 points in the next two versus Stoke and Fulham, before getting battered at Man U.
-
Looked really good today. One of the few positives.
Who?
Sylla. Thought he Put himself about and tried to take control in a shockingly ineffective midfield.
-
If only Baker was 30% as good as Guzan.
-
We've been everything that sees us bottom 3 this half. Ponderous, slow, fragile and wasteful.
Absolutely .
-
thank fuck we have guzan
-
This is utterly inept, so bad.
-
We're too pedestrian this half. No intent at all.
-
We can't get anything right now.
-
Rubbish Delph.
-
dont panic moron defenders
-
Shocking!!
-
Bannan and el ahmedi are two of the shittest midfielders ive seen at villa in the last 30 years .
-
No intensity, we've been awful this half.
-
We're fucked aren't we?
-
Watching on the TV today, so a slightly different perspective. Our midfield lose the ball so much both dwelling on the ball and attemptin a pass, all have been guilty today. Bannan on several occasions and the one hideous mis kick which provided Suarez a chance and just El-Hamadi who looks so ponderous loses the ball when it was easier to keep it. These errors don't help our defence, which I also admit makes enough errors of its own. 1st 20 mins of 1st half and nearly all of the 2nd just haven't been good enough, the result is looking about right to me.

How can we go from looking like a good top half team to certain relegation from one half to the other?!
-
The worse thing is half of them look as though they don't give a shit.
-
Christ this is truly miserable. The ability to shoot ourselves in the foot is astonishing.
-
Look how saints went for liverpools throats - we are too soft and roll over easily.
-
We're fucked aren't we?
yep, just got to hope Sunderland's new clown is more inept than the one we're stuck with.
-
Awful awful awful.

Ask the Manager
-
We don't do things the easy way. That's the Villa way.
-
Too many players that shouldn't be anywhere near The Prem, and probably won't be next season at this rate.
-
A bit of me hopes we just fucking lose at stoke now. It's the hope that kills you.
-
ARGH. Why do we give the opposition so many soft fucking free kicks?
-
Blind ****** of a linesman.
-
Just the 3 today then.....
-
Bannan and Weimann are the heart of our team. They make all they runs and get us up the pitch. Shit players like El Ahmadi and N'Zogbia are nothing in comparison.
-
oh well, I wrote this match off beforehand, hurts watching though.
Glad I bet against Villa. Stops me cutting my wrists
-
We effectively ensured we would spend the rest of the season in a desperate relegation struggle in January when we failed to strengthen the defence.
I don't know if it was Randy not making the money available or Lambert not wanting to spend it, but it was utterly criminal.
-
And i bet we dont see all of that either.
-
Awful challenge from Westwood. SHould've gone for that.
-
Dreadful.....any feel good factor from the last two wins well and truly dissipated.
-
Offside Fuck
-
******.
-
We have no depth... shows in the subs and Gabby has not been sharp enough!
-
Brummy reds singing their 'anthem'. Makes you sick.
-
How to ruin your Easter weekend. Thanks Villa

Big fucking hairy stinky bollocks.

Utterly hopeless. We knew we had to win this. Wigan and Soton put the pressure on us, and as per normal we just can't hack it. We bottled so many games with a side far better than this one in previous years. Benteke is a one many army.
The difference between us and Wigan is that when it really comes down to it, as they've proved in the last two seasons, and look like doing so this, is they pull off the results when it matters. They bridged a 6 point gap on us and now have a game in hand on us. Fair play to them and Martinez.
Our best bet now is dragging Sunderland into it. Which sadly means winning an absolute must win against them in April.
I'm actually surprised we won both the Reading and R's matches. Villa logic dictated we should have ballsed up somewhere in those games and bottled it.
