Aston Villa v Liverpool - Match Thread

[andyh]

Pau staying down that long after not being touched was embarrassing

The modern game, innit

[Toronto Villa]

What a truly dreadful few weeks it’s been. Confidence has to be pretty low after being so high.

[ChicagoLion]

May sound like sour grapes but it feels like we have played them and the ref tonight.

It’s sour grapes.

We have been our own worse enemies

Yep, the ref didn’t organise our defence from our corner.

[AlexAlexCropley]

We've turned into  last season's Newcastle

rubbish mcginn

I read that this combination of ref and VAR have made more incorrect VAR decisions than any other apparently.

[jwarry]

That goal was an absolute killer as we were on top

I have been saying it’s like we have played our way into a crisis for absolutely no reason.
The Ipswich game started this.

You can’t win a game against Liverpool with 10 men. Bailey wasn’t worth his place on the pitch and Philogene is even worse.

Rogers has been awful too and his miss was pivotal.

That miss was absolutely key. How did he fuck it up so badly?

[pelty]

Maatsen needs to start for me

[Demitri_C]

Even though we should have had a pen you cant defend thia pathetic defending from some individuals

They really shouldnt be here but stuck with them. I honestly think even having two left sided cbs in mongs and pau would be better than carlos. The guys just shite

[JUAN PABLO]

rogers scores and I think we would have gone on and won this. Liverpool was shitting all half and so relieved.   We needed that goal but we are missing so many chances.

[brontebilly]

We are a mid-table side now for sure

7th/8th is not mid table.

Bit of arrogance creeping into this site and elsewhere if we're just writing off seasons now when we drop out of top 4.

We will win games playing like this in the next month so have some faith. The less two years have surely earnt that?

If Spurs and Newcastle win their game in hand tomorrow we’ll he 10th. It’s not remotely good enough, we’ve been dire for weeks.

We weren't dire tonight.

Yep

Commentator just mixed up Philogene, 12, with Duran, 6"5.
