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

[remy]

The club should put the game out on dvd, be a great Christmas present.

The sort of thing the Throstles would do.

Exactly - we don't need a video to let people know - anyone with an ounce of a footballing brain that saw that game knew what we did to them.

It should be immortalised but in a greatest hits compilation as im sure before we are finished we will have a good few to add to it

My point of view with this is that its for ME. I would watch it over and over again - Football porn.  The most complete 90 mins from a Villa team in many a year. My 1994 and 1996 cup wins recorded on VHS have worn out.

[Somniloquism]

The 1976 5-1 win was the most amazing 45 mins I've seen at VP, but last night was the most amazing 90 mins I've seen. Barkley replacing Conor probably added 2 maybe 3 goals to the scoreline, thought he was immense.

Barkley replacing Connor might well have removed 2-3 goals from Plops attack as well. Their press was non existent for most of it due to the physical presence of our midfield. Whist Connor is decent with the ball, he is a powderpuff in midfield defensively.

Although was it with Barkley and SJM where they got in each others way on a tackle and the ball pinged out to Firminio for their second?

Still on a high and its Monday afternoon surrounded by glum faced Foxes giving it to me large
on the Friday before. Up yours!!!!

Some observations -

When the team sheet was announced I was surprised Barclay started as I thought Conor was good the last game. I thought he may ease him in a bit and not be another drinkwater
inspired capitulation against an "elite team" - what the f*** do I know!!

Barclay and Grealish look like their having a ball and have played together for years.

Amazingly my whole family were there to witness history and we all danced round the room 8 times !!

This result was a long time in coming for the torment we've endured from these wa***rs.

We can go into any game and the opposition will now fear us.

We've taken that step up now from fingernails hanging on the edge to fists in the fight and its only been 3 games. We are the real deal.

Souness - more like Sourness - what a dinosaur, retire his ass.

If this comes out on DVD - will be first in the queue to purchase the whole 90mins - unless one of you bright buttons can get the whole download?

Taking the kids on saturday to pick up their shirts - how proud!!!

Martinez-Cash-Taggart-Konsa-Mings-McGinn-Luiz-Barclay-Trezeguet-Grealish-Watkins - welcome to the LEGENDS club lads.

Grealish - my Grandson will be called Jack, no two ways about it.

Dean Smith - I should be kicked in the knackers for my Smith out shite last season.

At 4-1 I thought they could come back and we fold for 4-4 but the stunner from Barclay and their heads dropped.

I love you Villa.

Go and have a look where Luiz is when that happens.  Normally he'd be in there, but when the ball broke Firminion was able to run straight at the defence through a space normally occupied by Douggie.

Not a criticism of him at all, just more evidence of how important he's become in how we play - in that the one time they got a free run at the defence in a central position was when HE was out of position.

I heartily agree Lew, but the eleven one against Charlton runs them close.

Please do not put this on a DVD Villa. It would be embarrassing, save it for the season best of.

I usually roll my eyes at international breaks, as England are so pedestrian.

But having two weeks to dwell on us thumping the world champions is very pleasant.

It’s a great time for the team to train non-Grealish/Mings scenarios.

Agree.

Just watched the game again. The result really didn’t flatter us at all, and it could and should have been 10. A quite outstanding performance that I’m sure we’re all really proud of.
Now wouldn’t it be great if we matched the season the last time we thrashed Liverpool at Villa Park back in 76/77??

For those perhaps too young to have seen this before. Enjoy.

No mate that's small time. It's just another routine win for the Villa.

We're out of the League Cup now, mind: still the FA Cup though!

I'll get my coat...
