Liverpool vs Aston Villa post match thread

[saint13]

There is no doubt that we are up to our necks in it again. All over the park there are massive deficiencies in this team. Any team that has Westwood in the centre of midfield is going to struggle. He would not get in any other team...a Championship player at best.

I said last week that TS will be fired by time we lose to Chelsea. Who we will get will be the problem. Forget Klopp he wouldn't touch Villa with a Barge Pole.

Could do with Rogers being sacked before TS, (which is likely if he loses the Merseyside Derby next week), then we could go for him or try & tempt Moyes back from Spain. Allerdyce will be the obvious candidate but will be very unpopular with the fans. I would take any of them over TS.

They will have to make the change or we will go down. Villa, Sunderland & Newcastle are the 3 worst run clubs by a mile and it shows!

I know it is impatient, and I know all the arguments for giving him time, but I can not be fucked any more.

You are not impatient.
Sincerously, I admire the composure of you English guys, you seem and probably you are  wiser, and I would like to be more patient too, but enough is enough.
In Italy fans would have diserted the stadium after (not 5 years but) 5 games of this s*it. Doing the same, by protesting, we probably would have obtained some result, like we did with AML, instead of this continuos demonstrations of incapacity by the board and the managers.

Excellent point fans tolerance of the last 5 years means we bear some responsibility for what we are now having to endure.

Should have started with the team that finished against Blues. Very poor management for me not giving Ayew a game with his confidence raised. Also, why play 3 defensive midfielders inviting the opposition on to us? Sinclair looks lost and isolated. Still can't believe he always hauls Sanchez off when he is the best defensive midfielder we have? 

Alarm bells are ringing for me and next Saturday is massive whether we like it or not.

The bells are ringing for the claret and blue. (alarm bells that is)

I don't think the pre-match premise of the defensive line up was ill thought out, they were on a poor run and just off the back of a draw against Carlisle. To keep it tight for twenty minutes, get the crowd agitated and then step it up wasn't a terrible plan, only problem was we couldn't keep it tight for one attack and fuck knows how we were going to attack when we didn't move and kept giving them the ball.

An understandable plan, very poorly executed.

I think the three in midfield was right, although i'd have gone with Veretout rather than Westwood. I would have started Clark as well. Ayew not coming on was a bit odd.

I think the sub was always going to be Ayew or Traore not both, particularly as Gestede had scored.

I suppose he could have taken off Sinclair.

He won't drop Westwood, one his favourites as he has stated many a time. Can't believe however that he is left on set piece duty. Grealish or Veretout have much better delivery. Why don't we mix it up? no imagination.

Westwood took a corner yesterday hardly left the floor, it was woeful. Grealish takes them much better.

You're right thinking about it although with us getting few crosses in he may have thought, understandably, that Sinclair was most likely to go through on goal.

After watching MOTD and what I've read, it's very hard to find any positives. But despite his faults is there a better header of the ball in the Prem than Rudy?
