Aston Villa v Liverpool - FA Cup 3rd Rd Match Thread

[Monty]

I really don't think Klopp has done much wrong here. We literally did the same last year.

we made 10 changes to our usual starting line up

Were they the equivalents of the Liverpool team? Obviously not.

Have a look at the team we put out. 10 changes from our previous league game.

We "literally" did not do the same thing.

[DB]

No score tonight will do Liverpool proud

He just cant moan about his players being fatigued and wanting 5 subs.

[Drummond]

To be fair these lads will always be able to say they played for the Villa, at Villa Park against the league champions and recent Champions League winners. In the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Stuff dreams are made of.

We didn't

And Dean Smith:

Didn't moan about fixtures
Didn't moan about players being tired
Didn't moan about TV companies
Didn't try to change the rules
Didn't claim that his only aim was the well being of the players

We were also not moaning about needing 5 subs and play health and well being like he has been for months.

[WarszaVillan]

Delaney out!

And let’s be honest - don’t we all wish we could say that

[olaftab]

They need to win 11-0 to avenge their last two defeats at Villa Park.

[Nev]

Go on the babbies.

[wince]

Ffs would we field a weak squad because the opposition had theirs wiped out? Like hell we would. And this talk about breaking legs, fucking up players etc. We aren’t in the playground or the 70s.

We didn't, we changed pretty much the entire team.

But the main difference for me is that we haven't spent the last three years moaning about each cup competition and the size of the league should all be adjusted for our benefit, then spent the last month bemoaning the number of subs allowed because the players are so delicate.

He's a massive hypocritical arsehole. Be delighted if someone asks him why he played Mane and Salah against a bunch of GCSE students next time he moans about fixture congestion. You can bet they won't.

[exigo]

Well, if nothing else, at least we'll all be able to answer this pub quiz question in future years:

Which team has the highest aggregate shirt numbers ever seen in the FA Cup?

Probably a record that will never be broken.

I agree with cd.
