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

[Big Ming]

Guessing it will be a while before anyone else tries the high line against us without a full and effective press.

Our problems will be more against disciplined sides who defend deep or park the bus (like Sheffield Utd).

my two favourite goals (and there was a large choice)

were Watkins third (just loved typing that) the header
i know his second was a cracker and great to watch, but i just loved him being in the box at the right time to head that one in from 3 yards
 how long have we been waiting for a true goal paoacher of our own to do exactly that

the other one was Grealish's last goal, you know the seventh (ha ha)
it was just a sheer piss take
as soon as he was through you were 100% positive he was going to score
but the way he just calmly chipped it in as if it were some sort of showboating training match was brilliant

It was all about positioning and timing. Andre Green should look at that but I guess it's all about natural instinct and gifted ability.

Shaqiri has now contracted covid. It would be typical villa for us to win a game that convincingly but then for the entire team to end up getting the virus.

From what I've read he's not made a PL match day squad this season so perhaps he wasn't there? However how many of them might have it no one knows. I wouldn't have much faith in just a temperature check myself.

"Aston Villa's 7-2 drubbing of Liverpool on Sunday evening leaves an indelible mark in the annals of footballing history"

During the Covid-19 thing I've been doing a regular zoom quiz with 3 friends 2 of whom are Liverpool fans.

It's my turn to set it this week and I'm going to have lots of fun. The topic for the first round is..... 7 (seven).

What are the 7 (seven) deadly sins?
What are the 7 (seven) wonders of the world?
In what year was the Queen's Silver Jubilee?
Etc etc

I'm in a similar position and I'm so nicking this, great idea.

What is the most likely number to be rolled using 2 dice?
   7

In which year did the following occur:
   Pong is released
   The Godfather part one is released
   Vesna Vulović set the Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 m (33,330 ft; 6.31 mi).

   1972

Watkins second for me, the build up was great, the pass was sublime and then he made what was still a difficult chance look like it was the simplest of tasks to turn Gomez and place it into the top corner.

Don’t know about anyone else but I think I’ve watched that you tube vid of the Dublin lad over 10 times now. It’s so funny and a perfect example of why not to gloat at others misfortune too much. Liverpool fans do like to gloat a lot, you could say they have plenty to gloat about but in this case with his berating of Man Utd beforehand the outcome is so sweet.

In ft/inches, how tall was Margo Dydek, the tallest ever WNBA player ?

Different camera angles on this, and it's great.

I loved the third goal as well, just because it was such a crisp and directed header. There are 7 or 8 similar ones on his highlight reel from last season, every header going exactly where he wants it - a brilliant tool for a cf to have

Do you know the further I get away from this the more I realise that the magnitude of it just hadn’t sunk in. It’s a completely staggering result.

2 years ago today, we were losing 2-1 at millwall under kevin macdonald.

i don't think anyone could have envisaged sunday's events.

The 2nd goal was outstanding
