Liverpool v Doctor Villa Post Match Thread.

[SoccerHQ]

Very passive, will we ever grow a pair and actually go there and try to win. They were there for the taking today but we just handed them the game on a plate.

The only silver lining is Rogers looks back close to his best.

We do it at VP against pretty much every opponent.

There is still a tentativeness away from home and more of a desire just to get to half time at 0-0.

As said above constantly picking Guessand over Malen kind of plays into that just hold on for a draw mentality if we're away to a hard opponent.

The only good player was Martínez.

Ok. You got me… he had a bad game. I admit it

[Brazilian Villain]

I fucking hate Liverpool. That is all.

Thought Cash and Konsa were our best players.The rest? Meh.

They were terrible and we gave them the game, but when it comes down to it we had neither the guile or the heart to get back into it.

Sometimes we just ask to be beaten, tonight was one of those nights and it is bitterly disappointing.

As good as the Manager is and it's not his fault for either of the goals, there is that frustration that whenever it's close we conspire to kick it further away.

[Duncan Shaw]

Just basically handed it to them on a plate. Was ever thus, Liverpool or Man U on a bad run, along come Villa to help them out 😡

A few things:

First time in several games Liverpool played with a sensible structure, in part due to Gravenberch being back. So they weren’t the basket case that has been playing of late.

We played well for a good chunk of the first half, and were the better side. However, we were making the odd really bad error and then Martinez made his error just before half time and that stuffed us.

After halftime, even before the second, which we gifted, they were pretty comfortable.

We lacked  spark today, Rogers was largely left on his own to create. If Guessand is going to be anything more than a fill in he’s going to have to do so much more than he is.

The biggest thing we need to address is we have to start creating chances and scoring in the box - it takes absolutely wonder strikes/goals for us to score at the moment. We need some much more high frequency, scrappy type goals.

But all in all if you’d offered me 6 points from the last 3 games I’d have bitten your hand off. So in the round we’ve done well of late. Disappointing today, but hardly a disaster.

Kamara did fine. Love that little nutmeg near the end.

I think a problem is our players are alright but when under pressure the passing does get ragged. Pau is good on the ball but for their second he just booted it straight up the pitch and that was too easy a giveaway and they scored five seconds later.

We are good playing out from the back against most opponents. We aren't World Class at it though as too often we make mistakes in big games that lead to goals and tonight was another.

[London Villan]

It’s a mentality thing. Games with big expectations we don’t seem to cope. This goes all the way back to sheff utd when we could have gone top.

Happens too often not to be an issue.

Very frustrating as they were there to be got at tonight.

It’s boringly repetitive.

Just ignore mate, it’s a boring, odd, routine.
