Aston Villa v Liverpool - Pre Match Thread

[McGraths Dry Cleaning]

Really looking forward to this - only my third game of the season and I've been banking loads of baby care duties so Mrs MDC is letting me go at 12 and I can come back "whenever I feel like it"

With all the meeja attention it feels like this could be a significant game so I'm going for an anti climatic 0-0. I'm really interested to see how the team reacts.

[Axl Rose]

I probably wouldn't play England's Fabian Delph. I don't really want him here any more, would love to see him fuck off to Liverpool for7-8m now. Richardson in his place

Really?

Richardson is crap. Surely playing Delph makes sense. He's our most dynamic midfielder, can beat players, tackles, has energy. Him over Westwood and Cleverley any day of the week.

I'd play a three man midfield of Sanchez, Delph and Gil-similar to the days of Taylor, Boateng and Merson. We just need a modern day Carbone to play up front with our modern day Dion Dublin!

Gerrard injured I thought?

Gerrard injured I thought?

A pity!

1-3 defeat. The only joy is a goal but at the North Stand end not the Holte..............

[edgysatsuma89]

1-3 defeat also. Mario to get a couple. Bacuna late freekick for us.

can not see a Villa win at the mo 

Is "The Mo" the new name for Villa Park now that Birmingham is 100% Muslim ?

Very good.

[Goldie.7]

Gerrard injured I thought?

He might make the game according to Rodgers. Sturridge is also back but it looks like our game has come too soon for him.

1-2 defeat. 1-1 at half time with Delph and Balotelli scoring. Delph for his brace on 82 mins after signing for Liverpool at half time, kisses new badge in front of the holte, nobody notices due to anti Lerner demonstrations, Lambert's says we were excellent. All so predictable...

I watched the first half of Sunderland-Liverpool last Saturday, and had to prise my eyes open to stay awake.
Sunderland are probably the only team worse than us and Liverpool made a right meal of it.
Infact, they were absolutely fuck boring.
They pass the ball side to side and backwards as much as us.

This could easily be 0-0 with neither side actually crossing the half way line in 90 mins.

But I reckon it'll be 0-1.

[darren woolley]

0-2 Liverpool.
