Liverpool v Aston Villa pre-match thread

[Ian.]

Edit, wrong thread!

[RamboandBruno]

Their forwards look great, but defence, especially without Van Dyke, doesn’t.

I’d take a draw, but we are playing so well right now.

1-3 (Watkins, Diaby, Zanioloa). Boom.

[PaulWinch again]

This will be difficult, and a really interesting test.

[Smirker]

We'll score a few.

3-1 Villa

Can you add 'thread' to the end of the thread title, please, Risso?

If you're going to do something, do it properly, or you KNOW what will happen.

Done. Honestly some rank amateurs out there.

Are you going to add the word 'thread' to every other topic, or is the fact that they are indeed threads, obvious enough?

Agreed. Do these people write "I am typing this email on my laptop to enquire about .." and answer the phone with "Hello, Joe Bloggs speaking on the mobile phone!"

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The first real test of our no Mings defence.

If we play a high line Salah and TAA will murder us.  I suspect we'll go low block again, but Emery is anything but predictable.

I think we'll score.  I fear the'll score more.  2-1

Isn't it a bit early for a pre-match thread?

Hahaha!

Dan Bardell says it's never too early!

Who is Dan Bardell?

[gpbarr]

Difficult test. Like last season - would take a draw.

[darren woolley]

I can see us getting a 2-1 win.

[Villa Lew]

So Sky are showing Palace v Wolves, instead of our match, that's a bit rubbish.

You should be in the studio, as they’ll say that at half time and full time too.

[Smithy]

Win this, and we could quite easily be in the top four during the International break, which would have been unthinkable after the Newcastle game.  A tough place to go, and they are definitely the favourites, but with Unai in charge, I will always believe we have a good chance of winning any game.

1-2, with a Watkins double to show Southgate why he was wrong not to call him up.

[LeeB]

I think we'll come unstuck on Sunday and get one of the 5 league defeats I'm allowing for, fingers crossed 33 wins should see us home.

Tbf it is the actual dictionary definition of a dead rubber.

VillaTV are showing it.

Hopefully not in 1975-o-vision like the Valencia game.
