Liverpool v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Monty]

Proof positive that Holt is no more than an experienced gap-filler for while Kozak is injured.

It's not a terrible team all things considered.

[Quiet Lion]

Lowton must be injured as he is not even on the bench

Feeling bizarrely a bit more confident having seen the two line ups - god knows why. Watch the bindippers go two up inside ten minutes now!!!

That wouldn't surprise me at all, Richard, but I think that is about the best team we can put out right now.

I want to see us fight, make it difficult for Liverpool & not give our usual gift of a goal start every week.

I don't expect anything from today, but I didn't expect anything last year.

Good to see Stan in the studio talking about us.

No Luna in the squad, as well as Lowton. Very weak defensively on paper.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Fowler to get a hat trick

Luna is on the bench.

KEA why? What's happened to Lowton - any news?

I like Lowton, but the lack of Luna is only ever a defensive plus.

Indeed, he has put weight back on and is looking really well.

Absolutely CDJ, fingers crossed, going to cook a chilli whilst I listen to it on Talkshite, at least SVC will be rooting for us!

Luna is on the bench.

Whoops! Clearly my mind is trying to ignore his existence.

[Matt Collins]

Serious question: what do we do if a centre back gets injured? Sylla? Bertrand?
