Champions League Aston Villa v Liverpool Post-Match Thread

I think with Scotland having McGinn they must be favourites for winning the World Cup now

Did anyone else think the ref was crap? The foul on Ollie in the second half which he waved away was ridiculous.

Yep atrocious

[Somniloquism]

Cash's feebleness for their first goal was embarassing. A little push and he falls to the floor. Come on Matty, fight fire with Polish fire you soft tart.
You often  get these given as ref's are more prepared to blow for soft fouls against defenders.
And Konsa remonstrating with the ref for his penalty instead of celebrating the goal with his teammates was ego-led.
It's a way of putting pressure on ref for the rest of the game. He was right to do so and by the way being a regular England international he is entitled as well.

Konsa was also pissed off that the scrote had just tried to get him sent off, so I'm happy with Konsa telling the ref to do something about him.

Aside from that, it were pretty great all-round. I'm just sick of starting John McGinn's song in Brighton boozers and no one joining in. I thought he was everyone's second favourite player 

A deflated Luiz barely raising a gallop to stop VVD for the second not great either.

That’s a great photo - the guy that replaced Monchi looks like the Apple CEO

Was that the push when he was about to shoot ?

[cdbearsfan]

It was ridiculous that he didn't book Flobalob in the first half, but didn't really notice him in the second.

Was that the first time we’ve won on a Friday night

Nah, we beat Everton when we first came back up.

When Jota briefly looked like a world beater, before Danny Drinkwater got to him.

No, the one where he was running onto a through ball and someone sent him flying and the ref couldn't wave it away quick enough. It was a bit like the foul the Bayern defender made on him twice.

The referee was atrocious, the level just gets worse but we won in spite of him with a brilliant performance especially in the second half.
