Fair result, though we could have nicked it twice towards the end and we scored 4 goals against the league leaders.

Disasi was may motm for Villa, looked very good. The whole team played well after the shaky start. Both 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' goals were spawny and on another day we would win comfortably.

Hope we're not cooked and bombed for the Chelsea game. If we play at that intensity again, we'll win.

Im expecting we will be. That took a lot out of us.

Slot taking off trent changed the game in our favour that was a strange sub

Didn't see much wrong with what Slot said.

A bit of a ding ding, could've gone either way. 12 errors leading to goals this season, conceding willy nilly, 5th looks too far.

Disasi looked really good, very impressed.

Slot didn't say anything like that. He said they had lots more chances and should have won. He's a prick.

Much better team after the changes, Rogers far more involved at 10. Malen was dangerous, Ramsey and Cash were excellent. McGinn and Tielemans after a horror start did very well. We battled very well against a superior opponent and inches away from winning it...

But we were a complete mess at the back. Kick outs from the back causing us problems even. I think the folly of bringing in both Asensio and Rashford was exposed, both nowhere near fully fit. Rashford was a joke for their second with his abysmal effort tracking TAA. Putting them both in made a mess of the balance of the team, Rogers on right doesn't work. Our best athlete in our front 6 apart from Watkins was McGinn, love McGinn but that's ridiculous.

Martinez 7 - couple of unbelievable saves but shaky at set pieces
Garcia 5 - awful mistake punished for opener. Spoiled a decent first half from him
Disasi 4 - not sure about this lad at all, Mings seemed to be doing a lot of covering at front post
Mings 4 - more evidence sadly that he's done at this level. That mistake at end was surreal, ball like a 50p piece at his feet
Digne 6 - great assist and battled as best he could v Salah
McGinn 7 - awful start losing ball twice in first 5 mins, showed great leadership afterwards I thought
Tielemans 7 - anonymous early on too but brave in possession I thought
Rogers 6 - awful on right and fortunate not replaced but transformed back in his best spot
Rashford 4 - some nice moments in first half but bad habits reappeared early in second
Asensio 4 - Coutinho vibes, lovely touches but stamina non existent
Watkins 7 - outstanding goal, battled hard with limited support at times

Like the look of Malen, Cash and Ramsey made a huge difference, Maatsen needs a summer in gym


It is funny what games we see but I thought Disasi was very good tonight !

Disasi 4? Were we watching the same game? I'm not saying he was outstanding, but he was pretty good, considering it was his first start with Mings.

I didn't mean that's what he said, that's what I think. I think they probably did have the more clear chances, I'm not particularly worked up about what he said.

Played the top team with quite a few key players out and got a draw / could have won. Build on that and we move up the table.

Disasi looked superb to me but maybe you have more off the ball insight? On it he was certainly very good and made a couple of saving tackles.

Disasi made a couple of mistakes but in the main was excellent. 4 is a crazy rating.

The average mark there is less than 6. If I hadn't seen the game I'd assume Liverpool had an easy night and turned us over by at least a three goal margin.

They had better ones than we did, missing a couple of sitters. Their xG was 2.44 v 0.73 for us. Just happened we were mostly on top in injury time which I wouldn't have anticipated.

In fact all of those “4’s” are just daft. I realise it’s about opinions, but those assessments are just off.
