Aston Villa v Liverpool Post-Match Thread

[ADVILLAFAN]

Think draw was the right result and no idea how Nunez missed that one, but Liverpool were hanging on for the last 10 minutes.

Our subs gave us an energy boost, whereas their subs all seemed to make them worse.

[Brazilian Villain]

There were a couple seats empty by us and two new chaps in front of us, one of whom spent the first 10 minutes of the second half showing his mate pictures of his holiday in where I presume was Thailand judging by the amount of women in the pictures.

Well spotted, it was Thailand.

[Villa Lew]

Just on another matter, does anybody know, why both teams were wearing black arm bands?

If we'd got a full strength side I think we'd have won that game. They got several slices of luck for both goals, but also missed a couple of sitters. We would have had more control of the game with Konsa, Torres & Kamara in the starting lineup. They are probably the best side in Europe at the moment and at their peak but we matched them, whilst doing our best to help them out. Our problem in the first half were from the fact that neither Tielmans or particularly McGinn are great at taking the ball out from defence.

A special shout out to Garcia, who other than the error had a fine game. It's a big step from Spain's second tier to playing Liverpool & he played with confidence. Unlike Cash, his second touch was almost always a forward one & he attempted to beat his man & cross the ball.

I've read Slot's comments regarding the fireworks, players returning from injury, the ground being a sell out all because everyone's favourite team are in town. I hadn't taken much notice of him until now, but what an arrogant classless gobshite he is. I really hope Man City turn them over at the weekend.

Great game, draw probably fair, but it felt like there was only one winner for the last 15 and that was us. Thought Rashford played well and Ascensio knitted everything together in the first, but started to tire badly second half, all of our subs made a massive difference. Its a real decision for Unai who he starts in those attacking midfield positions on Saturday.

First half in particular we were determined to keep passing them to them, nerves maybe. Felt for Garcia, awful mistake, in otherwise top game from him.

Still cant really see why some posters keep insisting on writing off champions league qualification, we’re 4 points off 5th and have just gone toe to toe with the probable champions. Maybe I’m just delusional.

Man City are only four or five points in front of us aren’t they?

[London Villan]

It wasn’t sold out either. The bald twat.

Amfy, isn't that £68 for the club, £20 for you?

Yeah probably - I still think a£13 admin charge on a resale is a pisstake though!

Season ticket resale is big profit for the Club and some return for us. I recently resold through club and got £26 back for a £40/match ticket. Club sold it for £68.  You would have though £28 profit is enough and ST holders should get back what they paid?

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

Really exciting match, Villa started very very nervous but grew into it.
Garcia a real up and down game, great at bombing forward and whipping in a delivery however very sloppy at the slow build up passing out at the back.
I thought Rogers and Asencio were not involed enough. Marco was subbed and Rogers suddenly sprang into life. I hope it's not going to be one of those ings-watkin situations where they dont work together.
As expected the ref gave liverpool everything, McAllister diving about and dishing it out. We missed two big chances in injury time but they had a rosenthial moment in the 2nd half too so I guess a far result.

Less of that, please.

Why can't we call Slot a twat?

My just turned 18 year old daughter is working on Saturday so cant go, the most i can get for her under 18 ticket is £11 or something, and they will only sell once everywhere is sold out, e.g. they wouldn't sell  for the west ham league game

Apparently it was to commemorate two 50/50 decisions in one match that both went against Liverpool in 1987.

[simon ward 50]

Those two chances for Rogers and Malen in added time!

It is bald solidarity.
