Available Sunday afternoon.

Decent 1st half , very poor 2nd half - really depressing.

Gabby shocking miss in the 1st half , bannan awful and total lack of fight and passion 2 nd half from the team - this is very very disappointing today indeed!

[villa_cads]

Gutless second half. Those subs should be ashamed, didnt look bothered at all.

[Rigadon]

Great 1st half.  Shocking second. 

I said in the match thread, this team are giving me an ulcer.

Liverpool are a really, really dislikable team. 

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking atrocious second half. What is the point of El-Ahmadi? he's fucking woeful. We offered absolutely nothing in the second half. I don't care how well Baker plays, his idiocy has cost us a point. His idiotic lunges constantly fuck us over.

[NiiLamptey]

Just think w dont have quality in depth... our bench bar delph had nothing to offer

[VillaAlways]

Appeared to just give up once they equalised.We are going to get relegated with that attitude for sure

[richard moore]

Unprofessional and naive. Days like this I don't think we deserve to stay up when you see the fight from teams like Wigan and Southampton who take on the top teams and really go for it....for 90 minutes

[PaulWinch again]

The lack of fight in the second half was truly pathetic. I repeat as well Baker's stupid lunges are costing us points.

[Jimbo]

From what I could make out on the radio here in Siberia, we were crap, but Benteke scored a cracker. If that's right, then it kind of sums up our season.

I never for one minute expected to beat Liverpool, because even though we managed to beat the two worst teams in the league on the bounce, we're a pretty awful side, utterly incapable of defending. As we all suspected, this will go right down to the wire, and we can only hope that Sunderland will be that bit shitter than us when it comes to the crunch.

That is what worries me.

We beat Reading and QPR but we never look like pulling off the sort of surprise result other teams around us can.

I dread to think this could go to the final day and the loser goes down, because I'd back us to lose that one, every time.

That could have been a lot worse.  Disappointing not to take points but on the whole a good battling performance with periods of sustained pressure.  On another day we could have scored 4 or 5.  Impressed with Sylla, his range of passing is better than I expected, and he breaks play up well, a good find, and alongside Westwood in the  middle they coped well against a very experienced midfield.  Gabby looked bright at times and Benteke did what he does.  Guzan was immense.  Two big games against Fulham (3 points) and Stoke.  That wasn't a relegation performance. We must finish above Sunderland.  Please.

I think that might be the first time we've lost when Benteke has scored.

I'm afraid our defenders simply aren't PL standard and seem to be a bit thick as well, and it's costing us

[PaulWinch again]

Liverpool didn't have to work at all for that win in the second half. Bannan is fucking rubbish.

[Chipsticks]

Only saw the second half and we just seemed totally toothless. Scared to make chances and happy to sit back and watch them attack us.

I still think we'll outlast Sunderland, Reading, and QPR.
