Aston Villa v Liverpool pre match

[VillaTim]

Crowd need to get behind the team for this one. I've taken a sabbatical from Villa Park since Xmas and watched games on the TV. My god is Villa Park quiet...

Night games are far better . The Saturday games I've been to have been flat as a pancake

[JUAN PABLO]

Still annoyed that If we was playing p lop 16 th march , Kamara , Barkley , Konsa , Cash and probably Pau all back . Onana probably still in mars

[Clampy]

Without an out and out defensive midfielder available. I'd put Bogarde in.

[olaftab]

Martinez

Asensio
McGinn
Tielemans
Bailey

Malen
Ramsey
Rogers
Rashy
Jimoh

Watkins

No point picking defenders, they'll only get injured.

Start Onana instead of Martinez and I think you have the perfect team.

[steamer]

I am sure the crowd will be up for it.
The team need to match their  desire.
Against spurs we went for it and scored in the first minit, we should have buried them.
Against Ipswich we faffed about at the back and after a Kamara fuck up almost conceded in the first 5 mins.
Its clear to me, play on the back foot  we will get whipped.
Play as we did against Bayen , we have a chance.
Player availability pretty key

Yep cant see anything but a loss here  with this rubbish defence

[Somniloquism]

How convenient

The rules that have been in place for ages are "convenient". I seem to remember when the Everton-Pool match was called off in December you stated the same thing. I don't think it did turn out to be "convenient" for them.

Was more confident with Kamara in the team, not now though.

From the few games I’ve seen them this season they haven’t been that great.
But always win.
Love it if we could turn them over. 

[Skerra]

My observation is that the flat atmosphere has a lot to do with our playing style. It’s difficult to be “up for it” just after you’ve woken up from the sideways/backwards slow play between Martinez and his private game with our defenders of keep ball. It’s quite noticeable that the crowd are in full voice for about 5 minutes but then have that sucked out of them from our general play.

I was wondering where you'd got to DV. Will be good to see you back when you're ready.

It hasn't helped the atmosphere that almost every home game during the winter months has been marked by awful weather, particularly the Sat 3pm's where we seem to have got soaked at every one since August. I'll bet it rains on Weds as well.

The atmosphere against Ipswich was really poor. Only got going a bit in the second half.
It is nothing in comparison to Emery's first season. A bit of belief and excitement has gone.

[darren woolley]

I'm going to be really optimistic and say we will beat them 2-1 I've just got a feeling.

We were on the back foot for much of the Bayern game, weren't we?
