Aston Villa v Liverpool Match Thread

[Jimbo]

Now that's a bit odd.

[Irish villain]

No I would stick Helenius off Benteke, Gabby and Tonev wide and get Bacuna and Weimann off

Fair enough.

[citizenDJ]

We might as well go for this, they're not too brilliant in defence. I'd switch to 4-2-3-1 and send Helenius on.

Take Benteke off?

I was thinking Weimann off, Bacuna off, Tonev and Gabby wide, Helenius 'in the hole' behind Benteke.

But obviously the better option is Lowton off, El Ahmadi on.....

[Tuscans]

I think a few of us thought we were better than what we really are.

The crosses we've had have been awful.

Take Benteke off?

In preseason Helenius often played behind as a second striker. Not seen him with Benteke though.

Lowton has looked a little poor today, Bacuna to rightback, fair enough.

[ozzjim]

Interesting Bacuna going to right back

[Tuscans]

I think at home we might need this Kyotake kid

[JUAN PABLO]

luna should have shot

[eastie]

Kea as to hit that first time there , no time for a touch beforehand.

[Irish villain]

luna should have shot

Agreed.

[ozzjim]

Clever by Luna but got to take the shot first time.

Much better though since about 40 minutes.

Weimann still bugging me!

[paulcomben]

Bacuna at RB was revealed in pre season. No other cover for Lowton only Herd.

[citizenDJ]

Frustrating to buy a couple of players who have the potential to open up a defence in Helenius and Tonev, and then not use them.

[Irish villain]

I think a few of us thought we were better than what we really are.

Yes, we're more like a team you'd imagine should finish 11th than 7th.
