Liverpool - 2 Aston Villa -1 Post Match Thread

[Jon Crofts]

Seeing as no one else started one.

Have your say here.

[Bad English]

8-4 on aggregate. UTV!

[LukeJames]

What a shit weekend of injury time goals.

[ktvillan]

6 home defeats on the bounce and desperately need to turn it round?  Players going through a rough patch and not scored for aeons? Fear not, the ever obliging Aston Villa are your ideal next opponents, pants down, bent double, gaping hole, fully lubed, written invitation.

Liverpool looked pretty ordinary by their standards and we chucked that away.   Two points pissed away at Newcastle in injury time, and another one here. 

Smith has to take the blame, Davis should have come on ahead of either Barkley or AEG.  In fact he should have started.  Defence is their weak point, two inexperienced CBs,  Alexander Arnold struggling defensively, and Alison out of form.  Stupid not to go at them.

And if that Cash incident with Kane was a penalty then so was TAA going through Trez.  But then Villa don’t get those do they.

Do you really have to come out with that sort of homophobic nonsense?

They were there for the taking.

Davis should have started and got at their CHs from the get go.

Smith’s team management today was truly criminal.

[Proposition Joe]

Obviously a major disappointment after taking the lead, but also obvious which team they'd end their losing streak to.

But.

I thought in the second half that there were signs we are coming out of our winter hibernation amd there was more zip, purpose and directness to our attacks. My one gripe would be that I would have brought Davis on for the 3rd sub, have him in the middle with Watkins on the left.

Unlucky Tres for the injury and hitting the post. Alexander-Arnold is a twat, it would have to be him with the winner.

[PaulWinch again]

We didn’t deserve anything really, which is a shame because they were really poor. We have too many players making sloppy mistakes. Could be a symptom of the seasons running together, but it’s irritating.

[andyh]

Just so disappointing.
A shit Liverpool team, and they turn us over.

Our lack of quality is hurting us and it is blindingly obvious Jack carries this team.

[mr underhill]

Dean's about as intransigent as MON. Nothing to lose now, so shake it up for the run in.

[LukeJames]

We needed to stop the ball coming back at us as soon as we launched it, our hold up play was abysmal.

[BC Villain]

Liverpool there for the taking, and we go there and try not to lose.  Woeful.

[Villafirst]

Why didn't Smith pick Davis after last week or at least put him on to help Ollie? These stubborn tactics are so annoying! Liverpool have a weak backline!

[Skerra]

Scouse were there for the taking today. Bad set up right from the start and, these are matches we should be winning if we want to push onto the next level. Come on Smith, we have got nothing to lose so, go with Davis to start in a 4-4-2. We’re going to finish just below half way in the league the way we are playing so, why not give it a try. What really gets to me is that managers are paid a small fortune and, yet it’s the fans that can see that the system needs changing, especially with JG not playing.
