Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Ron Manager]

Suarez didnt dive it was a penalty. Guzan had no need to bring him down.We could have been 4 goals up after 25mins with some luck and 5 goals up after 36mins. Didnt collapse in the second half. Performance of the season. Sylla played well when he arrived. Vlaar got Man of the Match and he deserved it. Benteke back to his best.

It was a blatant dive

In your opinion.

So there is a good team in there. I hope we learn from this and take confidence from the fact we can take the game to the opposition. They have set a standard this evening. Well done villa.

Good performance , losing Gabby was a big factor .KEA just doesn't do it for me, shouldn't be in the starting 11.

KEA was immense in that first half, he completed dominated Steeeeeevie G. Granted he has been poor at home but away from home I think he has looked worthy of the shirt.

Can you identify for everyone where the goalkeeper touched the forward?

[Steve R]

Come on lads, Guzan should have been more cautious considering Suarez' reputation. I don't think we were robbed exactly. A draw was a fair result.

UTV.

He dived, he cheated, that's not Guzans fault...

Agreed. If he hadn't come for the ball and the buck-toothed twat had scored he'd be criticised for it.

Suarez goes to ground  because his font leg - the one nowhere near Guzan - collapses.  It's a well practised dive and we have been robbed.

Thank you. Dive

Encouraging.  Galling to lose a two goal lead, but in a similar scenario, we'd have lost that last season.

If we can somehow transfer a bit of that verve and attacking threat we displayed first half into our home performances we'll be fine.   Up to 10th too, after two tough games.

If a keeper comes for the ball and doesn't get it, then the likelihood is a penalty is going to be awarded regardless of how little/no contact there is. It's not right, it's not fair, it's just the reality of how these situations are refereed.

Excellent first half and a decent second half. Really should have had one or two more goals by half time that would have put the game out of sight.

Think we would have won had Gabby stayed on, as their porous defence was really struggling with our pace on the counter.

I imagine many have commented on something I saw when Gabby went over the hoardings and looked in trouble. The nearest Liverpool supporter showed his concern by getting out his camera to take a picture.

An absolute disgrace and Sky picked it up and no doubt the BBC will tonight.

Do you think there's a premier league ground in the country where a fan wouldn't do exactly the same? (obviously provided they had camera or phone handy)

I think in the opinion of anyone with reasonable eyesight.  If there was a touch, and I'm not convinced there was, it was due to the cheat thrusting out his trailing leg to touch Guzan.  That's not an action by Guzan so how can it be a foul by Guzan?  And it would never have been sufficient contact to cause him to fall anyway.  Whichever way you look at it, it was never a penalty in a million years.  And there was a second, and worse,  incident later where Suarez jumped into Sylla, tripped Sylla,  then threw himself to the floor and the ref gave Suarez the free kick.  Hard to believe what I was seeing, except of course nothing surprises me with these incompetent/dishonest refs these days.
