There is an option to switch hutton and Richards

There is no option other than to make sure Hutton is never on the pitch for us again. Did you see the way he "escorted" Sturridge for their 3 goal?

[Witton Warrior]

The simple fact is we have learnt to lose, over and over again...
I am sick of it - we turn up week after week, season after season and watch them lose
Losers

Micah Richards has been superb at centre back, how the feck we got him I do not understand. Him and Lescott were not the problem today, likewise Guzan who I have had problems with but was good today. Amavi was good, though struggled to beat Clyne but at least he tried. Hutton was a mare early on but he did not get any protection from Sinclair, who I have to say was awful. Sanchez was the best mdfielder by far to me, but got hooked. Tim says Jack needs to be in the number 10 role, then plays him wide. He messed up again today

MOTD highlights suggest otherwise from Richards and Lescott, both looked shocking. Richards has no awareness of players running in behind him and doesnt sense danger like good centre halves should do. He often gets drawn to the player on the ball leaving space behind him like for the third goal. Lescott looks permanently stuck to the ground, chewing gum esque.

Fair play to the two full backs re the assists, another one for Amavi. Cracking goal from Milner, looked like Gueye was the one most at fault for that one.

Looked like Guzan made a couple of cracking saves near the end, might boost his confidence a bit.

[Small Rodent]

The 3rd Liverpool goal was just walked into the middle of the area with not one defender taking responsibility.

Just looking again, the first goal was Gana

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

I am fucking livid after watching that match again. 4-3-3 pressing them when they were totally lacking confidence. We would of slaughtered them ffs ......

There is no doubt that Amavi is a superb option from the left and he has now set up 4 goals (I believe) with terrific crosses.

[Louzie0]

He's badly advised, the players don't do what he's expecting, it's just bad luck, a curse on The Villa or he's a complete tool.

I am reserving opinion til after Stoke.

In Tim we trust.

Said nobody

When he was given a contract until 2018

Pretty sure the game plan didn't involve going 1-0 down after 2 minutes. We were woefully shit for 70 minutes today, but how much of that was down to conceding so early. Obviously the formation and team selection didn't help matters but the whole game scenario changes a lot when you're already losing before you've kicked the ball.

I agree re the early goal, but the set up was obviously to contain when we were playing a team that was devoid of any confidence

Thats exactly why I'm pissed off today...not that we lost or for whatever bolx TS said in his post game interview about our season. What he did say and what was shown in the game "plan", was that we set up to frustrate them by not conceding and hoping to turn the Anfield crowd. The best way to achieve this would have been to get at them early with an attacking game plan rather than being defensive (which TS has regularly admitted we are incapable of doing). We scored 2 goals literally out of nothing, so its not beyond the realms of possibility that we could have won if we'd have actually played on the front like we did for an hour against Leicester or in the second half against Blose. TS got it wrong (again) today.

Minor gripe: could whoever starts the post- match thread please include the score line in the thread title for the benefit of us ex-pats who come on here as our first news source. Thanks.

Thought we'd ship a few in this game and lose. Was fearing 2 or 3 nil, so mildly heartening we scored a couple too. I always record villa games on fox sports when it's a featured game, but never watch if we lose. Sounds as if we chucked away a good opportunity yesterday.

[ROBBO]

Cannot understand his team selection, apparently he bought on players that turned the game against the sty then leaves one of the players on the bench. Sorry i have seen enough, yes this team needs time to gel but it isn't the players causing the problem it's the manager. I thought with his positive attitude he would be like a breath of fresh air pity he turns out to be tactically clueless.
