Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Steve R]

Villa manager sticking up for his players?  shocking.

He's sticking up for himself.

I'm guessing that he has not taken kindly to criticism and comments he's been getting and has jumped on the back of a good result to swipe back.

He'd have a point if it weren't for the fact that Saturday's performance was so out of character with what has followed since the home game against Liverpool early in the season.

If anything Saturday's game is a further indictment on the way we have been set up to play this season.

One good performance does not make a summer.

Only a pity we are not playing the Baggies a bit sooner. That club is in disarray at the moment.Long's cleared off and Jeremy Peace will make sure Anelka doesn't play again. We need to keep this new found impetus going as soon as possible.

One good performance does not make a summer.

It doesn't but what a performance! A performance to follow and build on. That's what we should have been doing after the first two games of the season instead of playing Charlie Hughes' percentage game. Hoof the season's tactics back to the last century where they belong and work on what we did on Saturday. Every single player deserves credit so it's not their lack of ability that's to blame. It's the tactics, Stupid.*


*Not you obviously, bertlambshank.

Unfortunately I agree 100%.

What's a miss-conception?



A phantom pregnancy.

[London Villan]

Lambert has been banging on about stats meaning nothing and setting out teams to sit back and watch the opposition, but when we play on the front foot and match possession then we have the best performance of the season. He can't have it both ways.

There was also a reason we were 14/1 to win and 8/1 to draw...

"I think Suarez was probably a bit surprised to have it given but those are the decisions and you have to get on with it and go again''.

It's catching.
This was Guzan speaking.
