Aston Villa v Liverpool Match Thread

This is bullshit.

It isn't. Spurs then Wigan at home last Christmas, that was pure shit. At least we have a team and a plan now. Just not a plan for playing a good team at home.

We've lacked probably since Merse someone in midfield with an idea....thats a long time

Milner?

[Boz]

Although they're in control, the stats show 4 shots each with one on target each. Just shows how misleading stats can be

No no that was mega bullshit.

Think the last 10 minutes of the half we have worked hard and got ourselves a foothold. Couple of good attempts.

[JUAN PABLO]

well a bit flat wasnt we

[paulcomben]

Do they even practise set pieces?!

[Jimbo]

I fear we've met our old enemies again. Complacency and hubris. We think we're better than we are sometimes.

[Rigadon]

We've finished the half better than we started it.  Maybe a bit of expectation has been stifling for the lads.  They're not used to it.

One thing is for certain, Liverpool are no mugs.  Theyr'e not THAT good either and for all their possession, they haven't really threatened all that much.   The second half will be different.

[Toronto Villa]

let's not get too carried away. There's another half where we can improve. We got better as the half went on. It's a concern that we have started all three games slowly and encouraging we have ended all of them so well.

Tonev or El Ahmadi for Bacuna please, the lad looks fucking awful.

[JUAN PABLO]

alan smith said they had  a pen when it was a corner

he is right

their corners are like pens

[ez]

We're never quick out of the traps. Always start slowly and today is the slowest so far.

Are you serious!? An idea not an engine

[JUAN PABLO]

bit hard on El Ahmadi to be dropped .  I didnt rate him last season but he had not done nothing wrong
