Aston Villa v Liverpool Post-Match Thread

[Rigadon]

This season, we gifted them three goals over both matches, I just hope we are over that when we meet in the CL final.

Exactly this

[Somniloquism]

So many positives. Axel sharper than Konsa has been this season

Going to miss him Saturday.

Really good game, with some lovely passages of play from us at times.  Shame we gifted them a goal, but they also missed an absolute sitter to even it up.

I think this shows we can comfortably mix it with the very best when we need to, and we gave them a proper game. We just need to cut out the silly mistakes.

I thought McGinn was excellent (apart from that pass in the first few mins), as was Tielemens, who at times appeared completely unpressable.  Cracking goal from Ollie. 

It's a shame neither Rogers or Malen could hit the target right at the end, would have been great way to finish.  Still, a point against the likely Champions isn't the worst result in the world.  Let's us that performance as a platform to really push on to the end of the season!

[PhilVill]

Good game. Deserved a point and I was delighted they went for it in the last 10 minutes. Can't knock any of the players today, Garcia learnt a harsh lesson about being switched on but he didn't hide afterwards, good lad.

[Brazilian Villain]

We could have won it at the end, but so could they. Happy enough with the point on my first outing as the match thread starter.

[SoccerHQ]

Really good performance. Could've won, could've lost but there were 7s and 8s all over the park tonight so that's a positive.

Now let's properly build on this and beat Chelsea.

[PaulWinch again]

Great game - take that. Both sides could have won it.

Ollie was brilliant all night, exceptional.

Disasi really impressed me.

[dorsetvillian]

Rogers should not be pushed out wide for Aesensio..

Yep.  Was pleasantly surprised how good he was on the ball, I'd always imagined him as a more 'industrial' centre-half, but he was quite comfortable in our pass-from-the-back style, even showing some nice attacking touches at times.  Looks decent.

God knows who'll partner Tyrone at the weekend!

Great game of football. Decent performance overall against an excellent team.

Defensively a bit iffy at times. Enough to work on. Unfortunately does rather look like its fizzling out in the league
 

[kippaxvilla2]

Fun fact.  Saturday we will have our 11th different central defensive partnership of the season.  I think.

[Demitri_C]

Even though that probably means CL is out of reach as in top 5, that was  a top performance against a excellent  side.

Well done we could have won that but we looked good. Slowly getting players back so you can see if we had a full squad we can cause anyone issues

Thought mings was excellent even though he mad a big error.

Rogers wasnt that good today. Definitely looks knackerd

Rogers was very good second half.

[Sexual Ealing]

Stepped up against the best team out there. No complaints.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Rogers was the best player on the pitch for the last 20 mins
