Aston Villa v Liverpool Post-Match Thread

[Boz]

Seem to be on my own here.......look at the teamsheets. Did you expect anything else? We lost, but only by two.
 We beat the team last week, just as we should have.... Ok, a win today would have been a bonus, but the important thing was we beat Bolton.

ok, when we start to consistently lose to the bottom six teams, then there maybe something to worry about. As for now, McLeish has done a very good job of keeping us clear of the likes of Wigan and Bolton etc

Is this the limit of our ambition FFS

Cannot access twitter,what has bent done?

There's a picture of him supposedly out shopping today rather than being at the game.

[Phil from the upper holte]

If he's injured then he probably thought fuck watching that shit

To be fair to him he's had the opportunity to stand and watch the ineptitude going on all around him this season, can't blame him for not wanting to watch it if he doesn't have to.

I thought bent was supposedly unfit with a hip injury- if shopping it would seem rather strange but then again everything at villa these days is disappointing.

That's a good point, Chris.

Also, there have been plenty of games this season in which Bent did play, but was so isolated and unbothered, he may as well have gone shopping instead.

If you can stand up.. get on the damn pitch.

We can count out Emile then.

Emile might as well carry a pillow with him for the amount of times he just falls over and has a nap.

Didn't think we were overly appalling today. I've seen far worse this season at VP. The ollays as we're stringing more than one pass together are funny but it does show we're not expecting much down at villa park these days.

Dune wasn't that bad today either i felt. Fonz and N'Zogbia also had good games. Showing glimpses of what they can do. We gave away a goal that was unlucky in the brad saved well first but it went straight into the path of Bellamy and one which was sloppy defending.

It wasn't a great day at the office but it certainly wasn't the worst either.
"we don't want McLiesh" chants started at te end of the match too in the holte.

After today though I feel Heskey should start a school of excellents. As that was pure magic. Who knew he had it in him??

There have been many dark days in my time supporting the club but the McNeill,turner,venglos and o Leary eras never left me feeling so low as recent weeks- I think we are heading towards dark dark times.

Will we even touch the ball against Arsenal? I can't even begin to think about the team McLeish is going to put out there. 6-1-2-1 formation?

[JJ-AV]

We really need to change the manager. Regardless of if he deserves the sack or not, what's coming is inevitable. The club is uninspired, it's like watching a car crash in slow motion.

Lose midweek and it'll get a lot worse.

Imagine how positive everyone would be if McLeish was sacked tomorrow and replaced with Hughes? I know it's not gonna happen, but we'd be galvanised and have a sense of optimism going into the New Year. And that's Mark bloody Hughes.

I can't see the Arse being as charitable as L-pool, they sat back 2nd half, Arse will keep coming at us...

I'm not on the sauce or the crack. I'm on planet reality.

OK, I'll bite. You point out what was decent about that performance? Forgetting the minor point point we lost 2-0 at home.

i've seen Villa perform really well and still lose, but today wasnt one of those times
