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

[Risso]

I've always tutted when somebody says "we're going to give somebody a good thrashing one of these days."  Didn't expect it to be Liverpool to be honest!

What a performance. Incredible. Was still nervous at half time bizarrely. Think I relaxed at 6-2. One that will live long in the memory.

Strangely I was the same - only until 80 minutes did I think - villa can’t feck this up now - different team now - think they are mentally hugely different from last season

Someone should send help to Molineux Mix and to the SHA lads. Some of them will be looking for a high bridge.

Nah, leave them to it.

A few less rag and bone men and petrol pump attendants in the world.

The world will cope.

I haven't heard a peep from the Facebook Brummie Red contingent. They're usually quite excitable while trying to remain stoic about another routine Scouser victory. I wonder where they all are.

I imagine the red lion in West Brom is quiet tonight

Let’s be honest, 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' are just a bit shit. Considering last time we played them at home we beat them by a 6 goal margin I’m not sure this can be considered progress. Wink 

[Nii Lamptey]

Only just been able to bring myself to this forum after being glued to the telly for the last 4 hours!

What the hell have we just witnessed?!
Dean Smith and the boys have just taken a palette load of humble pie and rammed it down a lot of our throats tonight! Every single one of em excellent from start to finish - Yes, EVEN Matty Targett, who I thought looked a completely different player to the one that played against Fulham at the weekend. Credit where it’s due - great performance and long may it continue!

What I loved the most is the fact that this Villa side wasn’t 10 men PLUS Jack Grealish, it was a totally balanced lineup where every single one of those attacking players (even Mings at times!) looked a creative threat going forward, allowing Jack to thrive. Wasn’t sure what Barkley would bring to our side, but if it’s more of that, we need his signature tomorrow!

Also, a special mention for Konsa, who is rapidly turning into a Rolls Royce of a defender.

If we keep this up, we could potentially have a lot more than 2 players in the England setup come next summer!

I detest Liverpool.. and that result has brought a glimmer of happiness to a fucking awful year. UTV!

[KevinGage]

This is the virtually the same team that also beat Yanited and Arsenal away in pre season.

Conventional wisdom says not to put too much stock in pre season results. But both of those sides put out strong line ups and it can't have done any harm confidence-wise.

Some smart business tomorrow and (hopefully) decent centre half cover by mid October and we're in good shape.

And to think, on Thursday night we were worried about an angry Liverpool.

[Percy McCarthy]

Souness voted out.

Surprise sur-fucking-prise.

******.

Of course he did.

Exactly, I finally said to my 10 year old villa mad son ‘I think we’ve got this’  when the 7th went in.

Nice Camden IPA to finish off the weekend, feeling an aura of calmness now, not used to this.

It will be it's after 10pm.

[Baldy]

Just so proud. Like most of us, have waited my whole life for that.

Magnificent.

Same here, Salah scoring a second at 5-2 and I looked and though they are a good enough attacking team to get three in 30 mins easily.

Of course I was only following text updates and assumed we might sit back at 4-1. According to Ollie, Smith told them at half time not to ease off because we had scored 4 in one half and they can easily do it the second half.
