Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Dave Clark Five]

Difficult to tell from our position but we all thought Guzan had pulled that c**t down. Bloke behind showed us a clip of it on his phone. He really does need fucking off out of this league. It won't bother me one iota if someone breaks both his legs and he never plays again. I don't mean Guzan, obviously.

Nor me, hope you had a great day out, I'd break them for him if you gave me a hammer

The pre-match pub was top drawer and sold some cracking beer. Roll on Everton away.

Still very pleased its a positive step forward, Ron is the real deal now.

He is amongst the best CB's in the division right now. He just needs to stay healthy because he brings so much more than his playing ability to the side.

[Walmley_Villa]

Thought both debutants did well and contributed to the result. Credit to Weimann, he worked very hard and the run and movement for his goal first class.

Bentekkers us getting there but man of the match was the Captain. We are so much better with Ron in the team.

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.

It's quite obvious from the video there was no contact and he started falling after a couple of steps.

[ciggiesnbeer]

By the way, shout out to KEA. Played well again in the first half. He always seems to be around when we are playing at our most threatening. Good lad.

He's a good one is Ron and just think if Okore would have fulfilled his potential this season and Benteke not getting that injury I'm sure we would be so much more comfortable. We can play when we have our key players on form.

Seriously, are you taking the piss?

Gary Lineker talking a serious amount of tripe on twitter about the penalty decision at the minute. Claims it wasn't a dive and stupid goalkeeping on Guzan's part. I feel like giving up on football sometimes

That's what he would have been taught to do when he was playing.

[Tugby Villain]

Well played lads - terrific performance.  Never a penalty (although watching it live on the box I thought it was before I saw the replay).  Great Villa following again.  Good day all round.
What do people think of Holt?

I agree with him that it wasn't the smartest bit of keeping ever but the key thing is that Brad didn't touch Suarez, therefore no pen.  But like I said before, it did look a stonewaller from the ref's angle so I can see why it was given.

[ktvillan]

I'm struggling to understand why people are saying you can;t blame the ref for the pen.  First off he was directly behind the incident, and the view from the camera at the far end - similar to his view but further away - clearly showed there was little or no contact and certainly not enough to warrant a swan dive.  Second, unless he's been living on a distant planet for the last two or three years, the ref would know, like everyone else does,  that Suarez is a cheating diving c**t. Thus any going to ground by that clown should be treated with the utmost suspicion and scepticism, unless you are 1500% certain he was fouled. But as usual with the SKy pet teams the refs are all too ready to give anything when they go to ground against one of the "making up the numbers" brigade. 

[PeterWithe]

Fantastic first half, we were very good. Credit  to Al Hamadi, probay his  best performance in a Villa shirt. The pen, it looked one at normal speed from where the ref was positioned. Diving aside, Suarez is one  of the best players I have ever seen, he's not particularly quick or strong but the way he positions himself to draw fouls and  moves into space, a fantastic player. ****** mind.

Really missed Gabby when he went off, they had their tails up after his withdrawal.

Well done Villa.

[Dave Clark Five]

kt has got it spot on.

Typical of the thick pundits at work today, how can it be anything other than a dive when he wasn't impeded in any way?  He's the kind of twat that comes out with "there was contact" and "he wasn't the last man" because he's too lazy and dumb to actually read and understand the laws of the game
