Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[darren woolley]

A good point for us I thought the team defended well I was a bag of nerves towards the end.

[Mister E]

I loved it when KKK took off Downing at the same time bringing on the Carrol lump; all the good crossing from the left immediately dried up!

[Toronto Villa]

How poor were Liverpool. They look a worse version of us under MON.

That's what happens when you buy British.

Ain't that the truth. Given the expense they'll be handcuffed by those deals for a good while

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Let's get 3 points against Stoke now.

Fingers crossed that McJism sends them out with an attacking intent.

[Steve R]

....

Regardless of the team we put out if he thinks defending deep and punting it clear for 80minutes is is any way going to bring success in this league then he's deluded and a long way out of his depth.

Thank christ someone else thinks that, I was beginning to think I was watching a different game.

Glad for the point, but it should have been all three against a piss poor Liverpool team.

Yet again we get the first advantage and do sod all with it but invite the other side back in.

Id have taken a point before the game, but we should have won.

The early goal has saved McLeish from a lot of stick, it's embarrassing the way we play like that.

But ow well, good effort and Samir looks like he could be really good. Monday night here we come, if we show same effort we should win.

Decent point I suppose, made better by the other results.  I thought Collins, barring one or two misplaced passes was immense today.

[cdbearsfan]

Will take that. Will be a good week-end for us so long as QPR don't do anything silly like win at Old Trafford tomorrow.

One more point towards survival.

[CJ]

Will 37 points see us safe? I think we can get three more points from the remaining games.

Think it will be enough this season. Beating Bolton will see us safe, and I think we'll get something off Sunderland before then

  I don't think Herd is fully fit.

  Hats off to Baker, Collins Eric, Hutton and Warnock at the back.Great/Lucky defending at times.Ireland again played well, as did Gabby.

 2 mins to go counter attacking, 4 against 2 , we give the ball away far too cheapley, again, their last chance came from Carruthers miscontrolling the ball.If we worked harder at creating space/passes when going foward we would have won a lot more games, the final ball into the box needs to be a lot better.

  For all the money they have spent, they are just a long ball team.Not his biggest fan, but hats off to McL today he got the team, and the subs spot on as far as i was concearned.

 Happy with the point, and a lovely well made goal by Herd.

[Nastylee]

I actually fancy a couple of wins in the games we have left and don't think we need to worry too much. There's no way the teams below us are good enough to bridge a 6 point gap, beat our GD and then go above us. One team maybe at a push but not enough of them to see us relegated.

[Percy McCarthy]

 Samir Carruthers shoulda had a penalty.

Thought so too.

[Apyadg]

Another 1-1 win, McLeish must be ecstatic,

[Colhint]

I think one of the big pluses today was the kids fighting out for a point. The recent results must shatter their confidence

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Terry Wigan, Vernon Kay's Bolton and The chicken stranglers all losing did us a massive favour.

I assume that Stuuuurk will put the final nail in Wolves coffin.
