Liverpool vs Aston Villa post match thread

[Smirker]

If you get rid then who is available to bring in? Hardly anyone we would fancy...

Klopp.

[passport1]

What fucking annoys me is that he talks such a great game, but the ineptitude isn't just here and there, a bit of naivety, it is nothing like that - it is ineptitude right across the board.

I am hoping the fact we've got a technical director between him and Fox now means that we won't have to make the same mistake of pissing away another three seasons in a waste of time, but he is so massively, massively out of his depth, it is frightening.

They can employ people and give them any tittles they like but if they are no good at their jobs it won't make a jot of difference and their is precious little evidence that anyone from Lerner down ,at our club ,has a clue what they are doing.

5 defeats from 7 games sums up how I feel about this fucking chancer called Tim Sherwood.

[Percy McCarthy]

much as I hate him fat sam would get better results with this squad

No, no and no fucking way.

You can say no as much as you like, but he would.

[django]

Leicester game showed up Sherwoods tactical naivety. But at least the gung ho Villa plays to our strengths.

At 3-2 the co commentator made a comment that he was surprised we didn't send our centre backs forward for a free kick. I wish I was, by that point it was as if we were happy to have made the score respectable, we never looked like we were being urged to get players forward. So frustrating because when we attacked them we created some decent chances. WE just didn't have players prepared to run past the man in possession anywhere near enough.

But without committing players forward what was our plan for getting back into it? I don't know and I'd be amazed if Sherwood did either.

[mr woo]

Make no mistake,  Liverpool are a poor side with fragile confidence,  yet we've made them look like Barcelona today.

You could argue the side under Lambert struggled because of the substandard quality of the players, one or two aside. But this squad has more than enough about it to be a mid table team, and comfortably so. I'm afraid I see signs we are disorganised,  undrilled and being sent out with fingers crossed hoping for the best.

Worst of all, I also see signs of a comfort zone developing for some that look under motivated. There have been several direct free kicks against us lately and I don't think I've seen one player prepared to jump and take a ball in the face for the cause.

 I'm beginning to wonder if Timmys upset a few down there.

No, no and no fucking way.

Is that a no then.

[curiousorange]

We're at the end of September and the majority of us can see relegation coming. And now we'll be watching it approaching like a giant meteor about to hit the Earth - will the people who can at least give us a fighting chance do anything about it?

[Villafirst]

Is the flick of the switch getting closer? The Stoke game is a must-win next week. Play Adama from the start this time.

[CT Villan]

That first 60 mins was all Allardyce, park the bus and hope for the best. What happened to Timmy's mantra of "we'll take the game to them and play on the front foot". No tempo again, not good enough.

For me, Grealish and Sinclair could have come off at HT, put Ayew and Traore/Gil on, especially after Ayew showed so much desire on Tuesday. Gil must be wondering what is going on...and Gestede is only good when the ball is crossed in front of him, but then he is unstoppable.

[OCD]

Tim needs more time, I wouldn't sack him on the basis of being crap for a few games while an almost entirely new team gels.

How about because he obviously doesn't have a clue tactically and we can't afford to have someone learning on the job.

[Steve R]

I don't care about 'learning his trade' or 'it's early days yet'. The proposition with this manager has very quickly resolved itself down to being the same as with the previous two. How many defeats do we have to suffer and how bad does it need to get  before he finally gets the shove.

[Kevin_Brum12]

Tim needs more time, I wouldn't sack him on the basis of being crap for a few games while an almost entirely new team gels.

How much time do you give him?  We seem to see a recurring pattern of tactical ineptness each week.

We've just assembled what on paper is the best Villa squad for years.  Do we want to go down and then lose them, because I can't see them playing fizzy pop league football.

Another vote here for Fat Sam

[GarTomas]

No consolation but if the below from the BBC is indicative of the general mood of the Liverpool fans they are still as deluded as ever...

David on Twitter: Sturridge back. Now just 1 player away from being potential champions..where is Luis Suarez?!
