Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa post match thread

[baddowvillans]

No mention of our potential penalty on either the Sky or BBC commentaries and yet so many here are  certain it was a penalty.  We're still just plucky Villa to them and the script must be followed at all costs

[Brend'Watkins]

Oh and Jim Beglin can do one.

Considering he’s an ex Liverpool player I thought he was very measured and complimented us on occasions.

Great typo' from the BBC there.

[Smirker]

Can't complain about their pen, it was definitely a pen.

Thought we should have had one as well though.

I'm always disappointed when we lose and today was disappointing despite the positives.

At least we have this game out of the way now.

Battled hard without the ball but our efforts to keep it were risible until we made subs. We were far better when Luiz moved into the middle. Peno was soft enough but Mings allowed himself to be mugged by Salah. Unfortunately he was at fault for that Jota chance too, unable to clear the ball with his right foot. McGinn battled like a trooper and Konsa was outstanding. Encouraging cameo again from Sanson I thought.

Martinez 7, Cash 5, Konsa 9, Mings 6, Targett 7, Nakamba 4, Luiz 6, McGinn 8, Ramsey 5, Young 5, Watkins 5. Sanson 6, Buendia 6, Ings 5

Pissed off especially as I had to endure the wanky WM coverage. Fuck the sky 6, fuck Liverpool and fuck Salah the diving cheating prick.

It was a penalty, sorry.

 If that would have been in the Villa goal area,it would have been checked at least, not enough players causing a fuss

I didn’t think ours was a pen. Not too upset about that. Just a shame Mings gave a way a pen as Salah was moving towards a less threatening positi

Steven Warnock on Final Score said he thought it was a def penalty for us

You need to look at it again. It was a clear foul.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Salah the difference

If he’d be on our side, I think we’d have won by more than one.

At least we'd have had a shot on target, the only negative from today.

A little harsh on Cash. He was decent in the last quarter.

[Nii Lamptey]

I didn't think it was a penalty initially, but....

[AlwaysVilla]

Absolutely a penalty for us today and didn't even go to Var. Absolutely disgraceful but exactly what you would expect hoping to Anfield. The decision to give Chelsea their winning penalty makes Ings look like stonewall penalty of the season
