Liverpool + Help - 1 Villa - 1 Post Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

This is all we could have hoped for going into the last weekend. That it’s in our own hands. At the start of the day that wasn’t the case. What an atmosphere it will be at Villa Park. We need to finish the job.

[Bad English]

Annoying not to take three points but a well-deserved draw at Anfield. Ten minutes my arse!

[RichardBatchelor]

We looked a bit patched up at the end because of injuries and subs. Young was very poor when he came in Kamara also stood out. But the ref was so one eyed, they could foul wrestle push with impunity.

The ref got the major decisions right. The pen, the non pen for them, the disallowed L’pool goal, the Mings yellow not red. A draw was a fair result. Disappointing to concede but not the ref’s fault.

[Risso]

It's jut a shame that Watkins has reverted to his form of old, at the business end of the season. I know we wouldn't be where we are now without him, but we need better in the summer. Not to replace him but at least as an option when he goes back into cow's arse/banjo mode.

[Axl Rose]

I begrudge Liverpool any joy or success. They are a thundercunt of the highest order.

[Matt C]

Big big result. All to play for - we’re going into ten final game of the season where a win puts us in Europe. Absolutely incredible turnaround.

I swear, at times, our possession football is some of the best in the league. Our first 30mins are so fluid, and the players clearly have confidence and trust in each other. Given we could’ve scored 3+ and their onslaught at the end, a draw is probably a fair result. I thought everyone in the starting midfield, Mings and dibu were standout performers today.

Super Unai Emery! UTV, enjoy your weekends!

[Paul.S]

We didn’t add on time like they did in the World Cup up until now. It’s amazing it really is.
A great performance considering they needed to win and we got what we needed. It’s all on us now which is amazing looking back.

[ROBBO]

Injuries weakened us but brave at the end.

[Proposition Joe]

1-1 at A Field (old Shelley Webb /WSC reference for ye there) is good, and Spurs losing is double good. Europe? It's ON baby.

[dave shelley]

Like lots on here, I'd have taken a draw after Brentford's win.  Well done Villa.

[Keeno]

I'd imagine pretty much every Villa side we've watched over the last 10-15 years, including the O'Neill ones, bottle that after the equaliser, with 10 MINUTES added on, the ref + 50k scousers pushing them on.

We held on for a point that may well just see us over the line for Europe. The mental strength instilled in this team by the manager is absolutely incredible. So proud of the entire team today.

[john e]

I’m now going to be a massive Man City and Saints fan. I want a chance at Europa come the Brighton game.

And it’s a bit good, both ways really
Because if Brighton get three points against Southampton, they are guaranteed a place for Europa and won’t have that much riding on our last game

[RichardBatchelor]

Mings was absolutely fantastic.

[Pete3206]

Not that long ago, the players would have been doing cartwheels with a draw at Liverpool. The fact they're slumped with exhaustion and disappointment is a testament to how Emery has changed the mindset at Villa. It's a massive point, puts us ahead of Spurs and 90 minutes from European football.

Exciting times ahead.
