Aston Villa v Liverpool Pre-Match Thread

[eamonn]

It makes a change for me to be excited about a big game, rather than nervous or resigned. I feel young again.

It's ok to grow up. Just don't grow old. Face it, you are young.

1-1 

I have a feeling that perhaps we are heaping too much expectation on the team to rollover what isn't a bad Liverpool team.

[Toronto Villa]

Does anyone know what happened the last time the current Liverpool goalkeeper visited Villa Park? Maybe Legion knows

[Legion]

Grumbles. Mutters. Aims kick at imaginary cat.

The Liverpool fans seem to think Kolo Toure is somehow going to keep Benteke quiet Well I rate Ivanovic a lot more highly and he had to resort to violence. If he's so great why isn't he still at City ?

Yeah I dont get it either. But to be fair I didnt see the Stoke game so maybe he played a blinder. I guess we will find out. For me though Ivanovic is one of (if not the best) defenders in the league.

Kolo Toure will get battered by Benteke. Liverpool fans are scared stiff of the Beast!

2-0 villa win. Benteke and gabby scoring,got a really good feeling about tomorrow

[SoccerHQ]

Toure is a weak link in the team for sure. He was on the decline when he left Arsenal and that was four years ago now.

[villan from luton]

Ivanovic was playing right back, so his main task was generally not Benteke, though he seemed to make it his task. Toure is not a bad player still, but Benteke is a top player and think he will create havoc tbh,

[JUAN PABLO]

2-1

[Holy Trinity]

3-1 To the mighty villa. First home game I have been to for ages cant wait.

[Malandro]

this team will be be far more dangerous when we actually take the lead in a game

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

We will score. They will score. I think we look good, I think they're not as good as they're made out to be.

2-1.

2-1.

They're not as good as they think they are. Deluded into thinking that because they were great once, that's enough. However I think we're an equal match so I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

[VillaAlways]

Some of them are suggesting that Sturridge is as good as if not a better player than Bentsen
