Aston Villa 3-3 Liverpool Post Match breather

[Demitri_C]

How the fuck did Luis Diaz not get booked the fouling little toe rag?!

How come Elliott (or was it MacAllister?!) didn't a yellow for taking McGinn out?! - he then went and got a yellow for kicking the ball away.

i dont think ive seen a  liverpool player get sent off against us

Found the Liverpool supporters pretty irritating. Most of their chants are dirges.

Thought Watkins playing within himself (possibly because of the Euros) and Bailey can’t sprint and hasn’t been able to for a while.

Thought McGinn immense and drive the team on and Duran so positive when he came on.

Loved the lap of recognition after the game and Unai’s reception. Best bit of the night.

Was Unai booked after the equaliser and if so why?

Running onto the pitch.

If he'd just hauled one of our players to the ground he'd have been OK.

Tom Hanks said 'good news on the horizon'.  I was wondering whether he'd been given some inside info.  He did a little video before the game.

Does anyone else think that if we strengthen well in summer, liverpool could be vulnerable after klopp leaves ans a team we could overtake?

I do ahve a sneaky feeling they could go like utd have a post klopp hangover.

Diaz, Mac Alister and Endo we're all very lucky to not get booked and even Elliott only got his for kicking the ball away. Those 4 spent the first 75mins doing the standard rotational fouls you see so often from sides like them. McGinn, Bailey and Tielemans were all on the end of some rough treatment to try to stop us building any pressure.

Funnily enough the 4 subs he made stopped them from being so aggressive and we suddenly found time to open them up. Including the goals I can think of 5 very decent chances in the last 15 minutes.

Proper ****** trick from the Ref, booking Emery. It's this sort of pernicious, pathetic, jobsworth behaviour that makes people dislike refs. He knows Emery will accept it with the good grace that he always demonstrates, in that it was a correct decision. Then take a look at other managers, subs and back room staff that pile onto the pitch for other teams without censure and then you'll see how lame it was.

Let's face it, if Woolwich win so much as a corner, it's a massive fucking pitch invasion and lap of honour, involving everyone down to the fucking tea lady.

[Steve67]

Good point Paul.  Their changes were meant to sew up the game but did the complete opposite.  Given we took off Luiz and Tielemans, our engine, and brought on Chambers and the nut case.  SJM ran the middle on his own after that.  He was superb.

[Ian.]

I was convinced their goal was onside last night and I was sure ours was offside so I was ok with the verdict. Now looking back, I’m not so sure. Neither seem conclusive so surely both should have stood or both should have been ruled out. It’s a flawed system.

I hope the change to the automatic version makes some difference. However some of the rules seem to be very subjective, both for offside and handball where it never was that complicated before.

I'd like to see some sort of review board implemented, ran by former players and not the FA.  People like Keown, Rosenior to be on it.  A football think tank that improves the game.

Bloody good job their effort was ruled out, 4-1 would have made things look very different.

Think it's a line from Cast Away.

[The Man With A Stick]

I didn't even notice Emery get booked, what was that for?

Running on to the pitch.


Edit, by about two feet as the teams were walking back to the centre circle. Bloody nonsense.
