Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Anyway what has happened to Guzan the penalty saver? It's a long time since he has saved one and from memory no saves at all in the league since he replaced big Brad.

he's saved one this season hasn't he?

@StanCollymore. Nice to see so many #LFC bloggers, fans giving out filthy abuse because your boy dived. Save it for him when he fucks off in June.

Nice one, Stan.

I'd rather be mid table than have to resort to that to get results, I honestly would.

I wouldn't to be fair. If a few dodgy pens would win us the league then I hope we sign some divers.

I can recall a few matches at Villa Park where Ash blatantly dived and won us a penalty. I didn't applaud the decision and I didn't cheer the resulting goals. I did however call Ash a cheating cocksocket though.  I fucking hate cheats. If diving is acceptable then taking performance enhancing drugs should also be acceptable IMO. Why should one form of cheating be right and another be wrong?

As for the match, well done Villa. Thought Delph was outstanding and both debutantes played well.

Agree about Young and divers in general, I hated his diving even when it was for us.  There was a long thread on here with many posters denying he was a diver, it was really quite sad.  And then came that infamous day at Old Trafford when quite a few had the claret and blue veil lifted from their eyes and saw him for the cheating little twat he is.

Well done Villa.
Should have got 3 points but for a cheating twat.

What I said a draw!  Because i stated on pre match thread in no uncertain terms we WOULD NOT LOSE I wasn't surprised at all I talked about how our away tactics will see us through and that we would be ok.

Personally it's excellent I took benteke anytime at 4/1 .

I think the match was very very effective performance wise and was glad the players took on tactics
Aside from the cheating penalty it was disappointing to lose gabby and see Bertie as another player who does reckless needless challenges.

Benteke has regained sharpened and step up and expect him to get many more goals again this season. I've already put him back in ff team and taken away Suarez as I won't have that sort of play in my team

Fair play andi weimann but still not shining bright

Up the villa

We played with purpose and pace. That was a major difference. Yes Rodgers got it wrong, but we set the tempo and played the game how we wanted to.

After that performance, I am definitely considering the purchase of new Villa mugs.

Any particular ones ?

I too must offer an olive branch.   I was not taking the piss Smirker when I said what I did about Guzan.   If you took it as piss taking I apologize.   I intended the comment to be a bit of levity in the thread to return the focus onto a great game and and a great performance.

No problem mate, I don't take anything seriously on here, it is the internet at the end of the day.

Not to divert the thread but I don't think you can compare simulation to doping, one is a split second decision and is there for all to see, the other is a continual process and in some cases the players may not even be aware they're taking anything on the banned list, I read an article once about a lower league player over 10 years ago who'd just take whatever the club doctor gave him and assume it was fine.

I believe both doping and diving are rife in football.

[Jon Crofts]

The next dive Suarez takes, I hope it's in front of a train.

[damon loves JT]

Whatever hopes Liverpool had of challenging for the title died tonight. They couldn't beat the Villa at home.
