Liverpool v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[richard moore]

Any other team would relish this game, going to Anfield against a fragile Liverpool team, attacking and them falling apart, however we'll go there set up for a draw and be 1 down after 4 minutes, 2 down after 13 minutes and 3 down just before half time, after a rousing half time team talk we'll come out and draw the second half 0-0, job done! 

And a team that has a cup semi final the following week. I suspect you are spot on unfortunately, you can just close your eyes and see it now!

Liverpool 1 - Villa 4 (Weimann, Gardner, Bannan x2)

You missed out the "April fool"

3-0 romp in the park for them.

Will Reina be banned from this game after his red card today?

[Legion]

I believe so, unless there is a successful appeal.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Will Reina be banned from this game after his red card today?

Does it matter?

They could play without a keeper and we still wouldn't win.

[adrenachrome]

Will Reina be banned from this game after his red card today?

Yes, it will be the 3rd of 3 a game ban according to a chap on R5.

[Big Dick Edwards]

Well assuming we get forward enough to have some shots at goal his absence should improve our chances.
I'll be delighted with a point.

[Legion]

I'd be bloody overjoyed.

[nigel]

No joy here 3-1 to Liverpool.

Big call for McLeish, there's only 48 hours from this to the Stoke game. Does he put out a weakened team to save some for the Stoke game?

Whether he does, we'll probably lose and he'll get panned for it.

I don't think he has much choice selection wise anyway.
Liverpool aren't doing much at the moment so, as our luck is going, they'll spring to form vrs us.
We have to go for it and also hope Stoke are dreaming of next season.

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck I hate predicting us to lose. I can see an early goal and then it all going shit shapd from that point on. 3-0 to them.

I so hope I'm wrong.

Sack it off and target Stoke

Why?  Liverpool have lost about five of their last six matches.  Wigan and QPR have beaten them recently.  They're the eighth best team in England. Let's get up there and heap pressure on them - there's absolutely no excuses for a spineless performance against that lot of over-hyped chancers.  We get in their faces and go for it.

If we can't get a point against this rabble we must be bad.
