Aston Villa v Liverpool Post-Match Thread

Clearly yesterday wasn't the worst second half performance in history. That is hyperbole and utter nonsense of the highest order. Unless you were watching the Villa for the first time yesterday of course.

Remember folks, you have to ignore the six from nine and that things are shit, shitter than shit, never been this shit and despite evidence to the contrary, will only get shitter.

Truly awful second half, as bad as anything we've served up this season.

As bad as anything...really? I guess you love a chance to repeat your embedded views on the team but whilst we lacked true belief in the second half we still had enough chances to win the game.

A random thing to throw in the pot but there were a number of new faces in my part of the Lower Holte yesterday and fuck me were they a moaning bunch of bastards.

Everyone and everything was shit from start to end in their eyes.

Aftab, we have just won two on the spin and we will more than likely win another two on the spin, so this means you have to really ramp up the hyperbole while you have the chance.

The lack of fight and intensity was very worrying, Liverpool didn't really need to get out of second gear to beat us. Glad they didn't as our goal difference could have taken another hammering.

My first time in the Upper Trinity and hopefully last, tourist central, hence the size of the crowd but lack of any atmosphere.

In the relegation zone with 7 games to go. Stick that in your hyperbole.

Yes sort of "get in" whilst you can as humble pie is cooking up nicely and hopefully will be waiting for some!

Yes that is correct 7 to go not 1 or zero.

1 win in 15 years spanning 42 home games v Utd, Pool and Arse
That's truly abysmal .

Humble pie? Even if we avoid relegation it has been a horrendous awful season and certainly I don't think humble pie will be the order of the day - I'd be hoping people look at the season and question how the hell did things go so badly and make sure not to happen again than be celebrating wildly should we stay up

This is aston villa not wigan !

Yes because I absolutely love seeing the Villa in the relegation zone.

Which is why when people ask you who you support the response is normally "Villa? - meh"
Not competing with the above is bad enough but when you struggle to beat the likes of Wigan and Southampton you realise that we are now merely a "club steeped in history" - Proud History Glum Future

Lowton and Bennett are decent on the ball but both are fairly desperate defenders. The effort Lowton made to play offside for Coutinho's chance, you really shouldn't see at youth level. Thought Lambert should have pushed one of them into midfield and brought on Lichaj when Sylla went off. El Ahmadi was a waste of a sub and we had 4 players occupying the centre from then on.
The likes of Gary Neville will have a field day at how poor the defensive positioning of our midfielders and centre halves was in the second half. The first goal was utterly farcical really. Westwood hadnt the pace to track Henderson but Coutinho was able to turn inside far too easy Vlaar first off. Vlaar was covering from a MIA Lowton and was 20m away from where he should have been. Baker didn't anticipate the danger and Guzan was too slow off his line. Coutinho's chance was a similar type play.
We conceded a load of chances against QPR and Reading too. Though this time around we didn't put away the chances we did create.
A top right sided centre half and holding midfielder would have us in the Europa League places imo. Failure to strengthen these two areas may well turn out to be our undoing.

So who is that bloke who sits in The Lower Holte behing the goals with dyed hair usually no shirt but he had a shirt with Psycho on the back, always looks wasted
