Liverpool + Help - 1 Villa - 1 Post Match Thread

[tomd2103]

there's no class about Liverpool at all.

First comment in the RAWK post-match thread is "Fucking robbed again". I assume he's talking about Liverpool FC.

Apparently they didn't win because of corrupt officiating beholden to the Manchester Mafia. We played "like it was a Champions League final" and "where was that effort against Citeh on the final day last season?" All in all it seems it was bad form by the Villa to be competitive and not roll over and let Bobby bow out with a win. Instead it was an "anticlimax". Oh, what a shame for the tw@ts.

Bit like that semi-final when we were supposed to go to Wembley  and just roll over, so Steven Gerrard could lift the FA Cup in his final season.

Fuck them all. A turd of a club.

A great performance by the lads. The point was well deserved.

Anyone else think , ‘ call me trent’ is a bit of a poser and a liability in midfield as well as defence

Absolutely.His  diagonal ball shit is lower league standard.

he was fast asleep for our goal.

So was his wee little mate on the other side for the free kick when Jacob should have made it 2-0.

Klopp and Guardiola are both the same in that they’re very nice and complementary when teams play how they want to play. When they don’t, or the result doesn’t go their way, they’re both incredibly sour and petty.

That sour faced cow at Man U was same. He was  a patronising fucker just having beaten you but never gave any praise to opposition when they did well. Classless twats. Our Unai is more like Ancelotti. A proper gentleman.

[Baldy]

We effectively knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League and kept ourselves in the running for a european spot.

A great days work.

Well done the lads.

Very enjoyable day out. Mings was brilliant. McGinn awesome, even at left back.  Thought we hung in there a little for the last 10 mins and the 11 minutes of injury time but still had a chance to win it at the end when a little indecision cost us in front of goal, on the breakaway.

The first half, Villa were a joy to watch. You would have thought we were the team chasing Champions League football, on a 7 game winning streak not Liverpool.

Great day out in the sun. I thought we were fantastic first half, by far the better side, Ollie really is off form in front of goal. Second half we really struggled to get out of our half and it did feel like a goal was coming. Still felt a little disappointed we didn’t hold on for the win at the time, but on reflection a great point and a great defensive display. 10 mins added time at the end was a joke, felt like it was totally being set up for Liverpool to get a winner. We march on.

McGinn was superb, got to play him where he does the most damage. Injuries cost us the win, the only slight concern is Duran is nowhere near ready, even for a few minutes at the end.

The three significant VAR checks (pen, Mings and their goal) all went in our favour which is such a surprise against them, especially as all three could easily have been interpreted differently. It actually turned over the on-field decision for their goal as well.

There's no way the penalty could have been interpreted any other way. The Ming's one was almost certainly correct. But the goal should have stood. VAR interpreted that Konsa didn't play the ball intentionally. I think most of us would say he did.

Why haven't the PL introduced added time like they did at the World Cup? Because the top 6 wouldn't want it. The likes of Klopp moan about too much football as it is. Having 110 min games wouldn't do them any favours, except in a game when they need it. If they bring it in next season, he'll be looking for 8 subs a game.

I agree that the interpretation of the offside favoured us, but if you watch it back, it also appeared to me that Gakpo clearly handled the ball before putting it into the net.

Anyway, we've had more than our fair share of dodgy decisions against that lot, so fuck 'em.

I unfortunately didn't see the last half hour as I had to go out, but a Liverpool supporting mate of mine claims that we had four players booked for time wasting. Is that true?

Duran is a disruptor and a distraction when he comes on, people don't quite know what to do to play him. I'd love him to score the 4th on Sunday to finish the season in style and to complement Watkins' hattrick...

Unless I’m missing something I’m sure Diaz was offside from the original ball into the box?

Great day, lovely weather, nice city.

Most of us on here are old enough to remember Liverpool spending the last 10 mins of every game passing the ball back and forth to Clemence to kill time - leading to the introduction of the back-pass rule. So Klopp can shove his moaning about our time wasting up his bollocks. Yes, I do bear grudges.
And the crowd build up at halftime - which continued well into the restart - with people trying to get up the staircase as others were trying to get down was starting to get a bit tense. Didn’t add up to anything but if we’d have scored at that time there could have been a serious problem.

As a matter of interest, does anyone know who was the Fred in the Shed VAR official?
