Liverpool vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

I think it will be a close game with Liverpoo just edging it 1-0

That's my take on it. The close game part at least, but I think I'd opt for a goalless draw.

Seems vlaar is a doubt still which is a massive blow if he's still out.

[Louzie0]

He would make a big difference, that's true.
Done it without him, though.

[silhillvilla]

Fingers crossed he makes it.

[Louzie0]

Absolutely.

[PaulWinch again]

Finger's crossed, I'm at a wedding tomorrow and hope to hear good news when I get back.

[sirlordbaltimore]

2-2

[VancouverLion]

1-2 us. Weimann, Delph

[Matt Collins]

Hard to call until we know if vlaar is playing. There doesn't seem much comment on this which makes me suspicious.

Would keep the 433. Think I might put Richardson in n'zogbia's position and then either cleverley or sanchez in midfield. Depends who's looking ready and fresh in training.

If vlaar is out I do wonder if he'd go 532. Could work against a diamond

[dave.woodhall]

I can see 352 even if Vlaar does play.

[Matt Collins]

Possibly. We all thought we'd see it this season before now. It's bit exactly worked for other premier league sides this year

But it could throw a bit of a curve ball. Lambert has outwitted Rodgers tactically a couple of times. You'd have to think the wing backs would get a lot of space.

But we've looked solid how we're playing so I'd rather stick with that

Liverpool 1 Villa 3. Nurse!

[KevinGage]

Lallana just back to fitness, and needs time to bed in, even if he does play. Skirtel out.  No Sturridge. 2-0 Villa. 

[eamonn]

Hope Cissokho doesn't get any jitters on his return.

[tomd2103]

Wonder if Sanchez might play in an attempt to nulify Sterling.  Sanchez is that bit quicker and a bit more mobile than Westwood, so it might be an option.  If Vlaar doesn't make it, I hope Okore is ready and we don't see either Baker or Clark.
