Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[myf]

was lucky to be invited to a corporate seat today. 3 courses 5 pints, whiskey and a huge result. no doubt the pre match talk was based upon an easy 3points  for them but in fairness the full time was very complementary about villa and benteke in particular.

very weird having to contain celebrations for 3 goals but good see the fans in fine voice from afar

Excellent team performance to cap a fine week. We were great, its very enjoyable to watch and the growing sense of togetherness around the place is palpable too. Marvelous.

To a man (or boy given their age), all of them absolutely brilliant. What a great week for Villa, the best week for ages.

Man of the Match for me was the Villa Fans. I've watched the game and all you can hear are the Villa fans from start to finish. Well done to all of you who attended.

I see the RAWK default response has been to say that we sat deep and broke with long balls. Factually not true, but whatever, if they lose at home they can only fathom one way of it happening.

We did counter, but we did what we always do: press as relentlessly as we can and try and counter from within their half. Liverpool fans go on about how they 'know their football', but they're little other than vaguely pretentious, self-righteous cliche-spouters.

I have to say it is a disgrace to the game of football that any team can go to the shrine known as Anfield and not attack and let the scouse twats enjoy themselves. If that is correct, they are more deluded than I thought

[Monty]

Oh, one other point: MOTD was well biased - to us! I thought the only reason for having us on so early was to talk about Crisis Club Liverpool, but they barely got a mention, while we were ranted and raved about and drooled over, which was pleasing to see.

Marvellous.  I know we will score two at Goodison Park II, but to win 1-3.  Marvellous.

Superb result, the second goal was sensational.

Great week for the Villa boys, lets keep it up!

[Matt Collins]

It must be great for the likes of Gordon cowans, who's surely thinking: I knew someo these kids could do it. Having said that, out 3 most promising youngsters were all bought in the summer

The most hilarious moment yesterday was on 606, scouser rang in demanding Mourinhio Is appointed and given £150-200m to rebuild the club.

And he was being deadly serious.

[HK Villan]

I'm going to get a pen and write AVFC on my cock.

Coffee on keyboard time... Thanks!!!

[lovejoy]

They had Roy Hodgson and phoned up saying they wanted Dalglesh with £100m+ to turn it around!

[Matt Collins]

Just watched motd. We looked an absolute shambles for 20 minutes, with herd and Westwood giving it away in ludicrous situations. Need to keep the performance eon perspective

But once we scored we looked full of confidence and a massive threat. The move which ended in delph and Benteke working it to bannan before weimann nodded wide, and the move for the second, were clearly born from our work at bodymoor. I doubt we put together a move like that all last season

MOTD was an embarressment

Why?

Considering how little of the ball we had, I thought pretty good highlights were shown. They emphasised how the defence improved as the game progressed and then Alan the arsehole even said that Benteke's performances was the best he's seen by a centre forward this season.

What more do you want them to do?

I thought MOTD was overall pretty good. They talked about the Villa being good rather than having a scouse crisis conversation. There was talk about how we got organised at a the back after a shaky start which provided the basis on which to then go on and win.
Benteke was acknowleged by Shearer, comments along the lines of that was the best performance he has seen by a centre forward anywhere all season. They also mentioned about them being one of the youngest teams around.

Still think that Wiemanns first goal against Norwich the other night marks him down as something special
The way he adjusted his feet to guide the ball into the net at speed and under pressure was a gifting, something that can't be coached

I've always liked him, but when you see something like that you start to dream of him being another like Gary Shaw, and they don't come along to often
