Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Hookeysmith]

I work with a few glory hunters and the best part of it all is that today they offered nothing in the way of "we were mugged" or "we were robbed"

They know they had been out fought and out thought by a manager that has proved he has Rogers number like he did last year

[ktvillan]

I love the fact we won so convincingly with those possession stats. A bit like Celtic v Barcelona recently.  I do see the importance of keeping the ball, especially when you are seeing out a game when ahead.  But I think there is sometimes too much emphasis on possession, and passing per se,  without reference to the quality,  the degree of penetration and creativity involved.   I'd be fairly calm if my opponents passed it across two thirds of the pitch as often as they pleased, as long as I prevented them getting too much quality possession in the final third.  Which is pretty much what Villa did on Saturday.

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

In his defence, they did have a mid week game while we didn't.

Goal of the season

How perfect was that backheel? I just can't stop watching it.

One thing about Weimann, he's pretty lethal when he hits it first touch. See also goals against Norwich and Man United.

I've watched the highlights many times and I still trying towork out how he thought they could have been 3-0 up in 15 mins.

Yes instinctive finisher , I like that , he doesn't seem afraid to hit it 1st time.

[PaulWinch again]

Indeed he has a great strikers instinct. If we continue to play like Dortmund I'll be very happy.

[Simba]

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.

 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!

I thought that too, as we should of been one up inside a minute.

not seen any of the bindipper twats at work who told me on Friday that the Villa should not bother turning up Saturday as that racist twat was going to tear us a new one.

Has Suarez got out of Clark's pocket yet?

Yes, and he hits the ball hard and hits the target a very high percentage of the time. I think the comparisons to the young Andy Gray are pretty close.
