Liverpool v Doctor Villa Post Match Thread.

Lots of negativity on here. Some justified. But had either of Rogers or Cash shots against the post gone in, it could have been different - coupled with the Emi brainfart and deflected goal of course. Sometimes games turn against you like that.

If only etc......

We were absolutely terrible 2nd half and fully deserved to be beaten.

Crap.

In all honesty I didn’t think we’d get a result but the way we gave it to them, Emi should be inconsolable.
That gift fucked us. Had we kept to 0-0 at the break it would have given us a really good chance.

Agreed. A fair-minded neutral (obviously there are not many of those among the pundit class) would say we were unlucky.

Still optimistic about our prospects this season with Buendia and Tielemans coming back. Little Emi, Malen, Sancho should all be above Guessand in the pecking order for a place IMO.

But that misses the point that many of us made already that we knew this would be the outcome because it’s iwhat we do.  Anfield, Etihad or Old Trafford, it doesn’t matter - we go there and be passive and let them flatter themselves, even when they are struggling,

Martinez lost us that game, simple as. To do that 2 minutes before half time, instead of just knocking the ball 50 yards up the pitch, was ridiculous. If you've played football at any level you'll just get to half time by any means and take stock from there and at 0-0 we were still well in the game.

Positives were Rogers is looking better each game and Cash is really kicking on to look like an excellent right back.

Negatives, Guessand was terrible - again
Watkins still doesn't look right, somethings missing.
McGinn on the left doesn't work
Midfield was complete opposite to the fight and grit showed last week
Passing was sloppy throughout
Martinez looks a shadow of previous seasons, it's obvious he wanted off and is pissed off to still be here.

Thankfully, it's over for another season, the TNT wank fest was probably the most biased presentation I've seen, and that's saying something.
