Liverpool v Aston Villa Match Thread

Its going to be a long season. Without Mings we have a bottom six standard Defence.

A rare away game that I didn't go to today. So bloody glad after watching this. As others have said I hoped these type of performances were behind us.

Hate the way the negativity creeps back in on here so quickly. We are away at Anfield without Mings with new players still bedding in.

Agreed. We ought to be delighted.

[Somniloquism]

Although Newcastle result clearly not a fluke

Second match where we have played a high line and midfield / forwards have not pressed. Look how much time they had for the pass for the own goal. He faked three passes. Could easily let in 5 again.

This performance shows that the Newcastle game was not an aberration.

Hmmm, maybe losing our best defender in the Newcastle game, for the season, may have something to do with it?

Maybe but it is what it is; the two games we’ve had against decent sides and we’ve been destroyed.

[Villan82]

Bringing Bailey on was a mistake. 
Doubts starting to form.

you been gunning for our best manager in 25 years since day one.

I'm far more concerned about our tactics and defense, again, than I am about Watkins.

Yep.

First time I've felt Unai has not got it right tactically by the sound of it. Very grim.

Newcastle the same, the Bailey change was insane

Concerning that the only decent sides we've played this season have ripped us to shreds. 

That’s the worry

I did expect better than this. But this is a bad day, at the worst place to have a bad day. Emery will make them suffer for this, I doubt we’ll see a performance this bad again for a while.

[Bad English]

Unai Emery sitting down looking gutted.

Bit of an OTT post.

Have you seen the bottom six in the prem this season? Everton and Burnley are examples of bottom six defences.

Yeah but we were all hoping we would be competing against these top 6 sides because that’s where we see ourselves
Not the case so far

The weekend after the first European Thursday night fixture... Bodes well.
