Aston Villa v Liverpool Pre Match Thread

Pissing down now in the Birmingham area  .

Liverpool play a high press game so, if we are going to play out from the back, it needs to be done quicker. Sadly, if we play at the pace we have in the last few games, there will be only one outcome. With all our injured players, Unai hasn’t got the personnel to carry out his usual duties.

Maybe he needs to tweak the style like against Newcastle that day?

Please, please, please can we piss him off tonight;

TV really puts a hole in everything. Last year the sun was shining, town was buzzing, the pubs were packed as we stood on the verge of European qualification in the last game. We've already achieved that, could go one better, it's raining, and it feels like a proper Monday evening in Town. Fucking Sky etc etc

In honour of the deceased, some early footage of a distinguished career.

No mention of our match tonight from the BBC football pages. Plenty about the Spurs game tomorrow so, assume our match v Liverpool has been cancelled!!

Warning: Contains Danny Murphy

I was at that game with my dad (RIP, Liverpool fan). Was that the one that was delayed by quite a bit? I remember being at a delayed game with him but I can't remember if it was this one.

Yes it was. About 9.15 kick off in the end I think?

Edit- I see this was covered in some detail on the previous page
