Aston Villa v Liverpool - Post-Match Thread

[Demitri_C]

This is now officially a crisis.

No it's not.


It’s definitely not.

Well it’s not great is it?
It’s not just the defeats it’s the nature of the defeats.
We have so many players out of form and likely to fuck up at critical moments.
Watkins useless and in a strop, Roger’s looks like he has seen a ghost, Carlos a fuck up waiting to happen. Bailey , Mcginn so badly off form.We can’t even get a defensive set up from attacking corners.
All this happening at the same time.
Right , it’s not a crisis, so what is it exactly?

add on top of that, we've thrown 2 games to achieve grand total of fuck all point.

.facts you know not opinion

Your both not being negative just being realistic.  Its not great at all at the moment

It's a blip.

We haven’t played well for a while now but have largely got away with it.

The spell from the Bournemouth equaliser to now has been horrific, just terrible.

We need to start performing or Heck’s marketing plan is going to go tits up.

All of a sudden we look ponderous and unadventurous.

Oh and Carlos is nowhere near good enough. The guy is a fucking chump. I don’t care if he was great at Arsenal last year or in any single match, he’s a clanger waiting to happen, he can’t be relied upon.

[Didier Five]

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.

No money to spend? In my humble opinion you are talking bollocks.

Giggles.

It's been months since we last played well and won convincingly. Even in our most recent league wins Wolves should have been 3 or 4 up a halftime and Fulham was assisted by them going down to 10 men and missing a penalty.

It's pretty shit at the moment. UE needs to change something because this pedestrian possession approach to matches isn't working.

[Skerra]

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.

couldn’t agree more. I’ve virtually given up on my season ticket for next season due to Heck’s complete disregard for longstanding faithful fans.

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

Other than saying our season’s finished, which was said out of frustration, which part of what I said is wrong?

The whole comment was out of frustration though. It’s not so long ago we beat Bayern. A degree of perspective is needed, that’s all. We were also better today. And I think the honeymoon period ended 18m ago tbh. Now we’re just a good team playing poorly atm.

Bayern will forever be one of my favourite nights at VP but this evening was so predictable you could have written the script beforehand. It’s almost as if we played to lose 1 or 2-0.

[PaulWinch again]

I’m not sure that’s right tonight Paulie (in terms of level of play). We were much better, and had more intensity, than we’ve had in the last 3 games. It’s a shame Rogers is going through a dip but the level was much better tonight. Still not where it needs to be, but it was a move in the right direction.

Ok, we have loads of money to spend, we’re just not allowed to spend it.

[Rigadon]

Didn't deserve to lose tonight.  The usual Anfield homer referee aside it was an even game! Onward and upwards.

Bologna didn’t happen then?

[eye digress]

Harsh to single out Carlos’ “mistake” - he was gambling to keep our attack going as the clock ticked down (isn’t that what we want?), and that’s what sometimes happens when you gamble; you lose.

Also McGinn (like Bailey) was better than recent form. Thought he did pretty well, to be honest.

We were done twice tonight by Salah’s pace, leaving ourselves too exposed on the break. For me, that was the difference.

[Billy Walker]

Frustrating! I feel we haven't really started our season or got into any kind of gear yet.   Keep the faith and in Unai I trust.

We won't be in the CL next season. Good luck if he tries to fleece us...
