Aston Villa v Liverpool Match Thread

[Irish villain]

Come on Villa!!!!

We have a strong squad now, when a player like Bacuna gets a chance they are under pressure to perform well. If they don't, there's Sylla and KEA waiting in the wings to come back into the side.

[Lambert and Payne]

Is it a 5 15 or 5 30 kick off?

Harsh on KEA, was finally building-up some form. Chris Herd in the 18 for the first time in ages.  Can't think of wh has missed out of the squad altogether from the first two games.

Lovely team. Just lovely. 2-1 The Villa.

[villan from luton]

Good that we are now getting a squad. KEA has done well, but maybe Lambert is thinking we need a bit more creativity when at home. A good bench to change things as well, Im going 3-1 Villa

[Gerrin]

I'd like to see Sylla back in, I thought those three Delph>Westwood>Sylla looked good at the end of last season, and I'd probaly say Sylla was the best.

[Toronto Villa]

Rotation is important if we want to keep players fresh. Also, we have to get used to the fact the Lambert will pick and choose based on what he's trying to achieve. The best teams rest or change up their players all the time. I hope that as the season goes on we get to rest all of our players every so often.

[Yossarian]

KEA must be not quite 100% after two quick games because I think his performance merited another start.

[Lamb_Stockmix]

It was our home form that let us down last season. 21 points away, 20 at home. He's rotating and adapting. Love it.

[Toronto Villa]

I think Bacuna might offer a more sustained attacking approach as opposed to KEA who might be more effective in the counter attacking strategy. Bacuna did say he likes to be a box to box player. We'll see today.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Big risk throwing in Bacuna, I can only imagine his speed will help against Coutinho. I'd preferred to have seen him given a start next week, as we really need the 3 points today. Lambert is obviously comfortable with him, I'm just praying he's called it right.

Come on Villa, let's beat these gobshites and go top of the league tonight.

[Toronto Villa]

I don't Bacuna think presents any more of a risk than KEA who at the end of last season looked surplus to requirements.

This is the first game this season I want to see us having more of the ball than the opposition.
