Aston Villa v Liverpool Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Feel bad for Buendia. Good to see Nakamba back

[kippaxvilla2]

Very unlucky is Buendia.

[dorsetvillian]

Thought Emi would start. Very unlucky.

[Toronto Villa]

Them

Alisson, Tsimikas, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Fabinho, Keita, Jones, Jota, Mane, Diaz.

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Thiago, Milner, Firmino, Salah, Gomez, Henderson, Origi.

[Beard82]

I heard that Beudia is a half time sub. 

If things arent going to plan, SG will put him in Goal to secure YNWA the win 

[AlwaysVilla]

Absolute travesty leaving Buendia out. Couthino has done nothing to warrant selection over him

[Toronto Villa]

Very unlucky is Buendia.

It's possible it was agreed prior to Burnley and that Coutinho was being rested. That Gerrard doesn't see both in the same line up at the moment, or certainly for this game

[Beard82]

Im happy with the line up.

I think Phil was always coming in for Emi2 - think that was the plan all along

Think PC will grab a couple

Thinking an entertaining 3-3 draw

[john e]

Ings and Watkins will probably be passengers for large parts of the play tonight I’d have thought Buendia for one of them would have been more useful

but hey ho a brace apiece incoming now I’ve said that please

[The Man With A Stick]

Buendia must really need a rest after all the minutes he's played over the last month...

[tomd2103]

Just got to VP.  Would be nice to effectively end their title hopes tonight.

[Gerrin]

Just watching SSN. Is John Fucking Moss the ref? That's us knackered before we've even kicked off then.

[PaulWinch again]

Win please Villa.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

So our record signing, motm at the W/e with a goal and fabulous assist doesn’t start. Still at least the redscouse in the stadium and the plastics at home along with the sycophantic media can enjoy  their l’pool connections as well as their own team.
Nakamba starting at dm not having played since last November with only a cameo vs Leicester in recent times...what can go wrong?
Hopefully he can provide some cover for our defenders.
UTV!

[kippaxvilla2]

He obviously wants them to win and boost the goal difference into the bargain.
