Aston Villa Academy v Liverpool All Stars FA Cup 3rd Rd post match thread

[Somniloquism]

Nah, his moaning was already a key factor last year and has just got worse. Yes style wise it is (was) a million miles away from Moany, but even he used to attack lots in the old days as well.

Has lucky bag teeth Klopp said anything yet?

You mean Dougal, from the Banana Splits, Jurgen Dougal?

Just checked, it's Bingo, not Dougal.  Wrong TV programme!

Klopp has the uncanny ability to disguise being a patronising Cnut under the guise of humour.

As for Liverpool, I have been saying that something is wrong there for a few weeks and it struck me tonight. It's the manager.
From a positive, warm and almost swashbuckling style of management for the last few years, the setbacks this season appear to have driven him to being overly negative, rather dour and humourless and he came across as rather tetchy tonight.
His hypocrisy regarding player welfare can't have gone unnoticed by the players and they look like they are playing within themselves and with rather more caution.

I've said before, he is just the German version of Moaninihio. Came in and people liked his style. Then just starts to moan and blame and try to get everyone to kowtow to his demands. Then the pram is flung as well as the toys.

The modern game moves so so quickly.  Every club has the technology to watch in detail every game and their opponents.   Liverpool were so good at playing a high tempo AND a high pressure to retrieve the ball with very good players.   They were brilliant.  But long gone is the time where you can be brilliant for more than a season or two.  Citeh with all their money and talent were also top of the perch for a while. 

The future is the manager  (a management team ) that can adapt and see the new way to win. 

With a unified club, with money to spent,  and a nucleus of motivated players. 
That’s us.

607 international caps between the Liverpool squad put out tonight, so I read on the BBC. 
Master Barry comes across as a lovely young man, very proud and delighted with life, so he should be.
The future is indeed bright, in fact, the present is bright too.

Mourinho is a ******.

How is Mourinho involved in all this?

Well it should be said regularly anyway but he is arguing we should also play all the players tonight against Spurs even though that fixture can be rearranged later in the season. Wait to he has his whole first team out due to Covid though and I'm sure tunes would be changed.

Because he’s a ******

Imagine if we had been able to pick our first choice academy team with Chukumena, Ramsey A, JPB, Wright

Spurs will be wanting that game called off now!

[wince]

Wasn’t the rugby score I predicted and will eat my words. Proud of the lads and some quality on the reserves. Let’s not rush Barry into the squad though. Kid looks class but don’t want weight of expectation to hamstring him. Well done cubs!

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

We are mighty.
We are Aston Villa.
And no one can fucking touch us because we are class.

[Meanwood Villa]

Lot more interesting than I was expecting. Legitimately went ballistic when we scored, was a great moment. Ludicrous this game was played really when you think about it.

[Dante Lavelli]

Credit to Delaney too, they looked well organised.
