Liverpool v Aston Villa - Pre match thread

[Dr Butler]

wouldnt be the first time Aston Villa had got a manager the sack! that is one that doesnt manage Villa

in 2007 we helped in getting rid of Moaninho.....Doug sealed the deal

The BBC understands the impasse between Mourinho and Abramovich came to a head after their 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa earlier this month.

There's no grin in the world that beats Doug's for sheer shitting eating smugness.

that will go down as the greatest, smuggest grin Aston Villa history. It's that "bad luck Roman, stick around I'll buy you a half a shandy in the bar after and we'll chat about the game" grin.

1-1

Guzan
Hutton Richards Clark Amavi
Sanchez
Veretout       Westwood
Ayew                                 Grealish
Gestede

I'd play Bacuna instead of Hutton. He's got the ability to swing a decent cross over for Gestede.

Benteke, Firmino and (sadly) Love all out for Liverpool.

I see Sherwood says Traore will 'work with the balls' today. Never neglect the balls.

No Gabby I like it

[Monty]

I wouldn't start Adama just yet, and certainly not in a match like this. I like Matt's team otherwise, but I'd have Gil in for Adama.

What about the last 25 minutes if we're down a goal?

[pooligan]

1-1 for me ,Ings for them ,Sinclair for us

Ayew                                 Grealish
Gestede

I think leaving Sinclair our would be pretty harsh at the moment.

It's guess the team selection / formation from Tim again.

With players back it's good to have options, I just hope he picks a team and formation that can get a result.

Problem is Todgers is cornered anday just pull off a big win tomorrow. We are getting close to being in bottom 3 so must win for both teams.
