Aston Villa v Liverpool Match Thread

[Olneythelonely]

Oh Ollie that was double dumb, not watching your offsides and playing on after the whistle...

Shouldn't have been caught offside there. Liverpool defensive line seemed all over the place on that play.

Pau took about 3 weeks to play the ball

We started well but Buendia lost the ball a couple of times and they gradually took control of the midfield.Tielemans has not got up speed since his return. Superb finish by Rogers gave us a big lift, it will be a nervous second half.

Nice tribute at half time to those that have passed away

I wonder if our momentum stopped because all the players saw Watkins go down with a potential injury and thought of Wednesday suddenly.

Also how come the flag was raised when attacking. Was it so blatantly offside?

Relatively clear, although you do usually see those carry on.

Martinez fortunate with that spill too. Our defensive line is so much sharper with Torres there. Second goal and Liverpool will turn it in I reckon. Hard to know if some of their players are playing for Slot. Long throws etc

[rob_bridge]

Szobo should have been booked, but that was daft by Ollie.

Correct on both

[BoVillan esq]

Forget the booking there was absolutely no reason for Ollie to go offside.

My thoughts.

So, we are 4th, let's really set about them in the 2nd half or even a repeat of the first half will do nicely.

'What that coming over the hill is it a monster' no its the Champions league.

C'mon Villa

A few arent but then some had already thrown in thw towel on Amorim at OT last year and we still lost

Lindelof looks completely lost to me again too. Think Watkins can get at their centre backs, they look weak.

I wonder if the only way Slot goes is if they fail to get Champions League?

Ross on for Lindy

A bad 4th would do it. Nowhere in Cups or CL.

Carrick had an easy ride this yeqr with one game a week see how he does with no respite.

I thought Lindelof was doing ok. Barkley can't defend.

I don't know, Liverpool tend to be pretty lenient on managers. Anyway, I hope he's still there next season.

Crap.
