Aston Villa v Liverpool (FAC3) Friday 8th January 7:45pm KO - Pre Match Thread

[CT]

Do we know what sort of team Liverpool are planing to field?

My Liverpool mate said a fringe one, and that was before our problems. We should leave the undersoil heating off by, erm, mistake.

[Toronto Villa]

I’m sure Liverpool fans are looking at this as justice for when they had to play kids against us last time. This isn’t any longer a contest if they play any first teamers but they may not now.

Thing is TV, they didn’t HAVE to play their kids that night, they chose to.
The could easily had added a few first teamers to their team that night but gave priority to a sexier (more financially lucrative)  fixture.

Oh no doubt Andy. But I’m talking about the fans more than the football club. They were whining like mad that the fixture went ahead. You’ll notice we’ve just got on with it. I have a feeling Klopp actually might not play many first teamers but just enough to make a difference. Or just have them on the bench. I have no expectations tonight. But it will be interesting to see how our kids do.

Disgrace that this game is taking place.

[eamonn]

So...anyone got a revised team prediction?

Mungo Bridge and Jerry Maguire down the flanks.

Agreed. 

[Drummond]

No moaning, we're getting on with it.

I hope the lads enjoy the game, regardless of the score. I hope everyone else is ok.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I’m quite looking forward to seeing the lad in midfield who’s name I can’t write or pronounce, he’s supposed to be flip hot. Chukeweze or something, is he likely to play?

Chukwuemeka. No idea whether he'll play.

Thanks, that’s the chap.

Anyone remember the team we fielded against Liverpool that night

it wasn’t the first time was it

[Cleybrooke]

Louie Barry to start...

[Villa Lew]

I can see most of Klopp's starting 11 being bench warmers, the likes of Milner, Jones, Minamino, Shaqiri, Origi, Rhys Williams, Phillips and Neco Williams, he'll bring the big guns on when they're 3 down with 2 minutes to go.

[pooligan]

Our youth team lost 8 1 earlier in the season against a Strong Sunderland team,i dread to think what the score tonight might be

If he gets knocked down, he gets back up again. Because you're never gonna keep him down.

So...anyone got a revised team prediction?

Reckon it will be something like this


Barry Humphries (in drag)
Oscar “Barry” Arce         Barry Hole   Sil Swinkels (penalty duties)      Gareth Barry

Barry Chuckle    Gene Barry     Amanda Barry

Barry Sheen   Barry Gibb     Barry Manilow
 
Sub:  Louis Barry,  Barry Bannan, Barry Island

[eamonn]

Haven't all of the bright young prospects been training with the first team and therefore ko'd with Covid? Meaning we're likely left with the dregs. Legion needs to get Cam Archer back to the Villa sharpish.
