Hopefully people will cut baker some rope now
Hats off to the manager tonight, he got it nailed on tactically.

I wonder whose tactics they were.Roy may be a big influence on life at Villa currently. Did you read Jack's little piece about Keane in training when after half an hour he asked JG when he would start training?[/quot I agree bernaboy - Loved the Given quote that "Roy came in and did some coaching" and he sounded surprised that such a thing should happen!

Coutinho's shot flies in, what then? It's all what ifs but ultimately Liverpool didn't do enough today. I'm not convinced that playing without any attacking intent for most of the game is the way to go.You carry on being as miserable as you like. The rest of us can celebrate a win at Anfield.
