Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[hawkeye]

Houlier has shown tonight that he is more concerned about how Liverpool fans percieve him than how Villa fans percieve him and that is a disgrace. I will not forgive him for this.

I'm seen some dross in my time (going down since 86 as a fresh-faced eight year old) but that performance takes some beating.

Relegation is a definite I'm afraid. Wake up and smell the coffee Vila.

F*ck off Houllier! F*ck off now!

How dare you disrespect our club like that!!

[itbrvilla]

Complete garbage and exactly what I expected when we chose this manager.   I am with my friend Bad English in believing this Houllier debacle was always going to end in tears.   The one I feel really sorry for is Kevin McDonald to be overlooked in favour of this old tosser.

Apart frfom West Ham what did he do that makes you think we'd be in a better position with KMac?  If he was good enough he would be content with managing the the kids and reserves well into his 60's.

Leave that French tw*t at Anfield and leave that 37 year old French poof Pires there with him........


He has more passion for them than he does with us - I said it the day we appointed him and I'll defy anyone to tell me otherwise.

Waving to the Kop and not the Villa end. Woeful.

Sigh.  It's the good old Villa cycle - just look at a graph of our league positions since getting promotion.  We can't go more than 5 seasons without an implosion of some sort.  This season is very similar to GT Mk2: a manager unpopular with fans for his playing style, but who achieved consistent league placings, feels he doesn't have the board's backing, leaves us in the shit and an apparently past-it manager comes in to steer us into a relegation battle.

BTW, did Sky allude to the fact that GH has changed our defensive system from man-to-man to zonal or vice-versa?  That would go some to explaining our defensive spasticity.

Also, that they seem to have been instructed to bring the ball down and try to stroke the ball around, rather than clear their lines. I beleive it was Paul McGrath who coined the phrase 'They cant score from row Z'

[Rudy Can't Fail]

New Low. I'll give Downing credit, he tried hard for the whole of the game.

You're very generous. He was very poor again, playing for himself, not putting in a single tackle, not getting back to help out and he couldn't cross to save his life.. A different player to the beginning of the season. We just have a team full of passengers, Downing being one.

Warnock just looks shocking and utterly devoid of any sort of confidence. I don't think that even a 10 man defence would help him at the moment, he just looks so clueless. Dunne is fat and needs to be dropped for a fit Carlos but the left back position is a real concern. Hopefully Luke can go there for a couple of games while Beye covers at right back.

The injury situation is the worst I've ever known but there's too much dead wood in the team, but they are all the seasoned players. I still don't think that we'll be relegated but on the other hand I don't have confidence in us being able to pull off an Everton style late season charge.

[The Left Side]

I'm getting too used to this feeling after every Villa game, I know we need the injured players back and the calendar to read January 1st but something isn't right at Bodymoor or B6, come on Sid get into them.

[Somniloquism]

IIRC I'm sure we were 3-0 down and into the 60th odd minute before Friedal actually made a save.

We bring the Fonz on and we start to actually look slightly dangerous so the manager brings on Carew and Pires to allow Johnson freedom down the wing to attack as much as possible and to stop any movement we were having up front.

Plus point. We didn't let in a goal in the last 10 minutes.
