Aston Villa 7 (SEVEN) - 2 Liverpool - post match thread

[robleflaneur]

A magnificent performance from all of them.Barkley looked like,quoting Ron Saunders,'the missing piece in the jigsaw.Luiz,McGinn and Barkley are a skilful physical midfield ,add in the unbelievable brilliance of Jack and the pace of Watkins and Trez or Traore,plus a competent defence.It resembles 76-77,the achilles heel being weak reserves in some positions,though this team has a far better keeper than Burridge and we scored two more st home against Liverpool, the reigning champions.

Fair play to Klopp, recieved the end with a ruefull smile and saw off the Villa players.

He's a classy bloke, Klopp. 

Unlike Ferguson, who was even a sore winner.

If Watkins is injured where are the goals going to come from, we might have to settle for four.

I’m still waiting to find out who Liverpool were playing

[PaulWinch again]

Did anybody else hear Graeme Souness try and blame the grass being too long at half time? Probably the most hilarious punditry ever.

Also at the end, “don’t get too excited” - I mean really!

Smith on MoTD...

On Barkley giving Villa a new dimension: “He does. We tweaked our system and had two holders in Douglas Luiz and John McGinn and freed up Ross as a 10 and tried to keep them down one side.

Interesting, explains why Cash was exposed now and then - and Trent quiet for Liverpool

Has Raschica signed yet?

Always my issue with him. A bad loser - yeah I underatand  that.

A bad fucking winner

Ollie is going to be immense.
He tries to break away , get in behind and thats brilliant but its also all the times when he doesn't get that through ball...he protects it and hold up play so fucking good!
Must be a nightmare for a defensive line.

‘There’ll be some smiling faces going to work tomorrow.’ He gets it.

[Proposition Joe]

What a difference it makes to have the players, and the belief, to continue attacking after taking the lead instead of sweating it out in our own penalty area waiting for the inevitable. More of this please!

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

It’s been a long time since we’ve had the brackets.

[PaulTheVillan]

Only Villa can lose to Stoke then smash the Champions. Might have myself another beer

[WilliamStanding]

Class manager, class club, now we have a class team.

Barkley was a brilliant addition to that 11.

Proper proven PL quality. And he will make Jack, Doug and SJM better
