Aston Villa v Liverpool - Post-Match Thread

[LeonW]

Season definitely not over. 100% trust Emery to turn this around.

[Nev]

Better but not good enough but enough to make me optimistic.

However, it cannot be overlooked that ad either of the 2 shirt pulls had been given things could've been different. Appalling inconsistency and blatant bias.

And following the Noel Gallagher farce earlier this week, TNT have to declare their intentions and not give the impression of being independent and unbiased.

Much of what has already been said but too many players want to dwell on the ball for a few seconds when the opposition are swarming around and how many 50/50s do we win?

[Paul.S]

No where near a crisis, Unai will get us back on track.

Of course he will. I understand the reactions because it’s so frustrating, especially the defence but he’s still a top coach.
Once we click aain, and we will well be ok.

[Ducksworthy]

This is now officially a crisis.

Silly sausage

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm trying to decide if Liverpool, like Arsenal, aren't all that much, or tonight they didn't need to be?
Two things are for sure, the defence needs tightening - what the hell was Konsa thinking for the first goal, it's Nunez and he's shite so better to cover the cut back? He may has well have rolled out the red carpet. Shocking defending.

I'm bored of talking about Watkins and Bailey. It's like playing with 9 men. Wasters!

Ever since the Champions League’s utterly obscene prices were announced, there’s been a feel bad factor running through everything for me and it’s gone to ratshit on the pitch also, the Bayern result notwithstanding.

[Flamingo Lane]

This is now officially a crisis.

How can it be 'officially' a crisis?

[Didier Five]

Blimey some people really throw the towel in quick. I’ve been annoyed at recent displays, but that performance was miles better than we’ve seen in the last week. Daft goals to concede yes, but the general level was good. Season over? Fucking hell, get a grip.

It was a better performance against a team that is challenging for the title, two points off third and apparently it's a disaster. Signs of improvement tonight, losing JJ early didn't help as I thought he was our best player up to then.

[Mellin]

That’s our season finished. Utter garbage.

FFS, man. We're a point off third, albeit with unequal games played, and in the top 8 of the Champions League.

[PhilVill]

Much better than last three games, we moved the ball much better. However, presently, we fluff our lines in the big moments and Liverpool didn't. The Rogers miss at the start of 2nd half cost us dearly.

I reckon we are looking at 6th-10th this year but as we were dead and buried less than a decade ago, I'd rather be cheesed off we lost 2-0 at Anfield than at QPR...

[Steve kirk]

This is now officially a crisis.

No it's not.


It’s definitely not.

[VillaBoy_23]

That’s our season finished. Utter garbage.

FFS, man. We're a point off third, albeit with unequal games played, and in the top 8 of the Champions League.

We have a poorer squad than last season, playing worse football and have no money to spend.

[PaulWinch again]

A “crisis” is a ludicrous overreaction. We lost, away, to the best side in the league right now. We’re clearly far from our best, but the performance was so much better than it had been of late.

[Villatillidie25]

That’s our season finished. Utter garbage. Slow, ponderous, kept giving the ball away, terrible set pieces, players then out of position and we make the same mistakes over and over and over again. And to top it off we threw away our only realistic chance at a trophy this season. Watkins, Rogers, Bailey, Philogene and McGinn completely ineffective. The one time we have momentum in the first half we drop off ten yards and let them have the ball uncontested. The honeymoon period is well and truly over.

What a ridiculous comment
