Liverpool + Help - 1 Villa - 1 Post Match Thread

[john2710]

Their team needs significant investment to stay still, without the help of Champions League money. Whilst Newcastle are going to pass them by. Chelsea won't be so bad next season & Man U will be spending big money.

Klopp has bought well to get them where they've been for the last few seasons & they've been great to watch. I'd watch them every time ahead of Citeh. But he's going to have to do it again & I'm not sure he will.

As for the fans, their sense of entitlement makes me sick.

Considering Liverpool's form going into the match, that was one of the best first halves I've seen from us for a long time. Tyrone once again magnificent, also special mentions for SJM, Dougie and JJ.

[Bobby Boy]

Reading the post match thread on RAWK and very amusing it is to. They are indeed absolutely furious at yesterday's proceedings. 

They'd convinced themselves that they were going to make the Champions League, egged on by pundits such as Gary Neville (who I like usually) stating as if it was a fact that Liverpool would win their final two games of the season.

How dare little Aston Villa disrupt the natural order of things.

Apart from Fabinho not getting carded till 80 odd minutes, I thought the ref was shite for both sides tbh. Mings could easily have seen red on another day for the high boot, and I thought Konsa DID attempt to play the ball in the offside decision against their disallowed goal.

Those moments aside though, WHAT a performance. In previous seasons, we'd have fizzled out after the Man Utd and Wolves results, but we've come back with a bang, and now have a shot at Europa Conference if we beat Brighton.

Regarding summer recruitment, I think it's become evidently clear that we're strong in GK, centre back, left back, midfield. Where we are blatantly short is down the right side of the pitch....

Personally, I think Bailey's best position is LW, but I think the reason he gets played on the right (or Traore) is that unlike down the left with two attacking fullbacks, we have very little attacking power down that right side from RB. If we can get a top drawer attacking RB similar to Moreno, I can see us ditching wingers all together and having an extra attacking midfielder in there (similar to Ramsey coming in from the left).

Another position is up front. Ollie is unstoppable when on a hot streak, but those hot streaks are too infrequent, and Jhon Duran has shown very little evidence that he is the alternate option. We need to spend big in this department in the summer, and those draws will turn into wins.

Gutted about the result, as my 100% away record is now tarnished with that draw, but shout out to both sets of fans - Villa away fans because they were bloody amazing, and the home fans because they were abysmal. Silence for 89mins between the eye rolling YNWA and Firminho's equaliser in the 89th minute. Famous Anfield atmosphere my arse!

Onto Brighton next week. UTV

Are there  a bigger sanctimonious, victim complex bunch of arseholes in football. I bet there will be a candlelight vigil outside the ground as they feel so aggrieved

And this is not aided by the big man baby that is Bingo

Always feels like it’s a bit crass to accuse Liverpool fans of thinking themselves victims, with that said however there are a lot of them who go all in on conspiratorial thinking in that the entire football establishment wants to see them fail. Maybe this is a result of the Hillsborough cover up, but it’s remarkable to view from the outside looking in. Only Manchester United have more sycophants in the media, only Manchester United get away with more decisions in their favour over the years.

I did find it remarkable that Neville dismissed us out of hand on the back of such impressive form both individually and as a team over such a long period.
Long may the ignorance continue.

Wait until you see the BBC article on who can stop Man City - Chelsea are still "in the mix", bugger all about us.

Next season is going to be so much fun.

Should we keep the current run of form Top 4.

If we improve on the current run of form, who knows how high we'll finish!

[dave shelley]

Liverpool supporters have been entitled since about 1965,  mainly propagated by a psycophantic media which they quickly caught on to.

Oh you optimistic fool, the Blose fans know what's what.

serious question .. is this Villa’s peak with Emery?

he strikes me he should be a comedy manager as his interviews are incomprehensible, so how’s his tactics working to such effect like this

the run they’re on with him at the helm is ridiculous

I know I could be wrong here but I think Emery will be caught out next season. I don’t think he’s anywhere near as good as people make him out to be.

To be fair some there really rate Unai and just in case, they're convincing themselves it's the Farmers Conference League, a glorified Intertoto and doesn't count as a major trophy should we win it.

[Hopadop]

I have to be careful this morning - I have a Liverpool mate, a ST holder and someone I’ve known and respected for years.

But since last night he’s been absolutely raging about the referee and us.

They genuinely think they’ve been robbed. I’ve stayed away from engaging as he’s so bitter about it, I think we’d end up falling out.

It’s quite unbelievable.

Be the better man, tell him you're looking forward to meeting them in next year's Europa League final and that Liverpool might have a  better chance with neutral European refs.

their manager and their team have robbed themselves , they have been crap most the season and maybe should remember Leeds winning at Anfield.   

Newcaste, arse , cheat city and even Manure have all been better including Brighton to be fair , If it wasnt for their Stevie Slippy we would probably be above them.

I don't think Liverpool got lucky yesterday, but had they scored in the 100th minute they would have.

Someone needs to do a tally, a real investigation into exactly how much added time the Sky teams get compared to the norm, because everyone, everyone knows that something is up.

[The Man With A Stick]

Liverpool have got a very frustrated fanbase today, but it's not our fault they lost against Leeds, not our fault they lost to Bournemouth when everyone else was battering them, not our fault they got smashed by Wolves either. 

As they never tire of telling people when they get another dodgy penalty in front of the Kop, "these things even themselves out over the season".  Klopp and his extra 5 minutes can get fucked.

I would hope that the club would be asking that very question. There were no significant stoppages either  The other week when we played at Old Trafford we were pushing for an equaliser. When the board went up to show a measly almost unheard of 3 minutes stoppage time my flabber was totally ghasted. And there were several stoppages where treatment was required one of which was when Bruno was treated for gunshot wounds after being shot by a sniper in the crowd.
