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

[Somniloquism]

Last time we scored 7 (7-1, Wimbledon 94/95) Lineker famously said on MOTD that 3 of our goals were very lucky and 3 were offside, thus intimating that it should have been a 1-1 draw. If he tries the same tonight...

Was he a guest Pundit because he wasn't presenting it then.

From The Guardian's match report:

In the end, Liverpool were so bedraggled that they looked like champions in name only. Manchester United’s 6-2 capitulation to Tottenham earlier in the day had been shocking but they are a team in dismal form with multiple problems. This upset was on the next level.

I do have a criticism of tonight. Please tell me we haven’t turned in to one of them clubs and that the music after the goals will only be temporary? Or better still, that I imagined it.

St Bernadus 12. The Aston Villa of beers.

What was that thing Jack et al were doing with their fingers after scoring, looked like they were making an A.

Incredible stuff.  We absolutely shredded them at the back time after time.  Like others have said it will take some time to sink in really.

I love Watkins' hat trick goal. We break up their attack on the edge of our own box, run the ball up the pitch, win a free kick, Trez busts a gut to get on the end of it to centre to three onrushing players. Brilliant to watch, absolutely superb.

When Watkins hit the bar, were the fuck was Adrian going? The dressing room?

Watkins was immense - 3 times the player Wesley ever will be - he is going to be our Yorke. Barkley seems to be the final piece of the jigsaw - him and jack seem to be telepathic

Isn't it a charity? I remember the pub player we once had Davies doing it at Anfield after he scored just before HT

Actually just found this article

That was hilarious, even Carragher was laughing

Shows the value of confidence, even one of the best teams in the world fell apart and made junior mistakes when things were going badly. Gomez was woeful all game.

[PaulTheVillan]

The balance of the whole team looked spot on. The work rate, the vision the creativity. Brilliant. It might be different when we play a team that parks the bus. But I’d still bank on Watkins to take the only chance he gets. Am I dreaming?

[mallo]

I’ve got to post again as I’ve had a few but that was simply unreal - they were so sloppy and we were sharp as hell. Trez for the pass for the final goal as well.

Adrian went to the Doug Ellis for a shit pint
