Liverpool vs Aston Villa Match Thread

If they made football matches 900 minutes long, we'd still try and hang on to a one-nil lead from 5 minutes in.

Not getting any of the ball at all. This will end badly.

[silhillvilla]

This is a joke. It's inevitable

[onje_villa]

Why do we do it? Been doing it for years.

[Matt Collins]

We need a change here. Nobody is wanting the ball.

[paulcomben]

Clearly been told to go from 433 to 451. Hopefully, only to avoid conceding before 60 mins, then open up again.

[Matt Collins]

It's a very flat atmosphere
Sterling would lift it for them

[tomd2103]

Might have to consider a change of formation here as we're starting to struggle a bit.

[VillaAlways]

Time wasting at 54 minutes. This is going to end badly.

It's a big ask to hold out like this

[hilts_coolerking]

Made me laugh from Betfair's twitter:

@Betfair: HT at Anfield with Villa leading Liverpool by a single goal. Tom Cleverley has made the step up from Man Utd look seamless.

That's ace!  Nicking that.

[Mister E]

Get the ball and hold onto it, you eejits. Either that or get some new legs onto the pitch.

[Matt Collins]

Great stop brad

Gabby is offering nothing now. I think we should fetch him and perhaps Richardson off. Richardson is doing a good job covering tho and I'm not sure if grealish would

[paulcomben]

Sterling is indeed coming on.  Fascinated by the total commentary bias towards Liverpool having to win.

[Matt Collins]

Sterling coming on here

We need to liven up here. We've started looking  very panicky on the ball
