Too many players still settling in, and, plus we are carrying Gabby if he starts again. All this will maintain our inconsistent form. 2-0 to the Dippers. But we'll play well for good parts of the game.

Scoring more than one, a feat they've managed just once since the 13th of April, and that was against QPR.

Gestede scored but away from home is lack of mobility and generally appalling touch isn't what we need. Sinclair hasn't done anything away from villa park either

Bit risky that team above because ayew hasn't played that role for us yet (well) but I think that's how I'd go.

2-0 Villa and the Anfield crisis talks will be all over the media.

Benteke would have scored eleventy hundred goals against us, so now that he's out we stand a chance I reckon, especially if we can replicate the second half against SHA.

Fenway Sports Group, the owners of Liverpool Football Club, have decided to sack Brendan Rodgers.

This is according to talkSPORT, who claim to have been told that Rodgers will be replaced at Anfield - but not by former Borussia Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp.

It was revealed earlier today, by Sky Sports, that Klopp would be willing to end his sabbatical early if the “right job” became available in the Premier League. But, in news that will disappoint a significant number of Liverpool fans, it seems FSG are not actively pursuing the revered German coach.

So he's sacked. Probably. Perhaps. But not yet. Maybe.

I know because of payout concerns most managers don't, but if the club were already publically shopping new managers I would resign. I don't usually wish bad on other, non-rival clubs but I do love me some large club turmoil. Man, Benteke and Delph's moves seemed to have turn sour pretty quickly. Whatever.

Regarding the sack, I'll believe it when I see it. But we might, just might, have a chance on the weekend.

Betting against Liverpool is always a good option, on the basis of price. They attract a lot of Asian punters who just pile money on Liverpool regardless of who they're playing, so their opponents are very frequently overpriced.

Title: Re: Liverpool v Aston Villa - Pre match thread
Post by: Toronto Villa on September 24, 2015, 11:56:25 PM: This is one of those games that we absolutely must start fast and get right into them. They won't like and the crowd will turn quickly if we can get an early lead. We simply must not let them get any kind of momentum because they still have good players that can hurt us. The other night they had almost 50 shots which is crazy. The chances of them not converting chances if they keep creating them are pretty slim, and we don't need to be on the receiving end. This can get very ugly for Liverpool if we believe in what we can do as opposed to worrying about stopping them. Something I don't like at all about Sherwood's recent approach to games.

Title: Re: Liverpool v Aston Villa - Pre match thread
Post by: Jim Shoes on September 25, 2015, 05:44:47 AM: Liverpool aren't doing well but then neither are we, I'd probably take a draw now but hope for a win.

We will likely concede as we always seems too but can we score? I guess it depends "if" Villa turn up, against Albion we didn't and for 45min against the scum we weren't there either. The same can be said for most of this seasons games.

It's going to take time for the team to gel but somehow while this is happening we must grind out results to keep the points tally ticking over.

I think we will certainly find out one way or another whether he has lost the players or not by their performance or non performance for him.

Post by: devilla on September 25, 2015, 08:42:50 AM: I really think we can take these fuckers. Rogers is under pressure so if we can keep them quiet at the start, get their fans on his back then hit them with a second half like we did on Tuesday.

Time for Gabby to be dropped too. Ayew deserves a start after how well he did on Tuesday.

Can't see a clean sheet but I'll go 2 - 1.

Is Adama back for this one?

Would love to see an attacking line-up of

Gestede

Adama Grealish Ayew

Sanchez Veretout

I don't think we're good enough to play just two in midfield to be honest.

Post by: damon loves JT on September 25, 2015, 09:23:48 AM: I think it depends whether Rodgers' team is playing to get him sacked. I suspect not yet. We will probably play well and not get what we deserve.

Post by: aj2k77 on September 25, 2015, 10:31:26 AM: Haven't we had a very good record the last few seasons of putting the coup de grace on managers who have been under pressure? The closer we get the more I'm feeling we might just finish off Rodgers. I change my mind to a hopeful 2-1 Villa, Gestede winner again.

Post by: nodge on September 25, 2015, 12:34:44 PM: Looking at the morning papers it's almost as if we are now under pressure to win and get him the sack to give them something to write about. Also, I bet there are a good few Liverpool fans who'd take a loss to get rid of him, there certainly is on my FB feed. It'll be a huge anti climax for them all if Liverpool win 3-0.

in 2007 we helped in getting rid of Moaninho.....Doug sealed the deal :)

The BBC understands the impasse between Mourinho and Abramovich came to a head after their 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa earlier this month.

I'd play Bacuna instead of Hutton. He's got the ability to swing a decent cross over for Gestede.

I think leaving Sinclair our would be pretty harsh at the moment.
It would have been a few weeks ago but he's been pretty much invisible since the Sunderland game. We can't afford to keep players in the team if they aren't contributing, and theres nothing wrong with rotating the squad and competition for places. Obviously Gabby needs to be dropped before Sinclair, but with new players finding their feet and coming back from injury then theres simply no place for passengers on match day.

Sinclair and Richardson for Gestede and Veretout.

Sinclair does put in a shift covering Amavi, edges it over Gil on that basis.

Gestede dominated Liverpool last year in the cup but think Amavi's mobility with Grealish and Sinclair supporting is the way to go. Gestede, Gil and maybe Traore waiting in the wings, nice to have proper options.

Like the look of that team. Got a feeling he will bring on Traore on for the last half hour. And after their "tiring" mid week game. He is the last player that defence will want to see ......0-2 UTV .........

Hopefully Ayew will have gained confidence from his performance in midweek. Likewise Vertout who came more into the game the longer it went on and is obviously a talent.
