Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Pat McMahon]

I think Weimann is a composed striker of the ball and seems able to place his shots perfectly without seeming to generate much back lift. A few of his recent goals have come from early, first time strikes which don't allow the keeper to steady themselves and dive. A quality that served Ian Rush pretty well.....

OK, but if he grows a moustache I want him gone!

Tell yer what, forget if you can, the back heel and marvel at Weimanns ball into space for Benteke and his run to the penalty spot.  I mean it is between two players and away from goal. Lots of work behind that move.

I think they're beginning to develop a great understanding. It was as if each of them instinctively knew where the other would be. We haven't seen that at Villa in a very long time.

I could watch this shit all day long:



edit - beaten to it!

 Oh look at all those Liverpool players...they do look pathetic  I mean tired. After all it was the 41st minute. It just wasn't fair!

Oh I don't know, the way the thug Skrtel is left for dead by Andi does look like someone who had been run ragged.

Rodgers is blaming Saturday on the players being fatigued. He's certainly worked out the sort of things to say as Liverpool manager.

Suarez couldn't have been too tired. He was suspended last week.

Not just that but there was the build up involving Bananaman and Westwood amongst others, something like fifteen passes before that backheel.

I've been saying the same to people all day at work, the pass and move from Weimann is superb, and then he hit it so clean that Reina couldn't react, great goal from his point of view, Great from Benteke to have the awareness and balls to play the backheel and great from various other players to work the ball forward as well as we did.  A truly superb team goal, it really is as well work a goal as we've scored for years.

To the H&Ver who just pmd me - your 'message' settings are blocking my reply!

I hope you've told him dinner AND a movie first!

Interested in spare violin strings...for the RAWK crowd, I think!

[Garyth]

Is there any highlights online that show the build up to the goal, by any chance?

Just watched it again .... and like a fine wine it just gets better
