Aston Villa v Liverpool - Match Thread - FA Cup

[Tinto]

Has Minamino touched the ball yet?

 

[rurikbird]

Looks like Rhys’s fatal weakness is dealing with a through-ball to a faster striker. That’s like locking every window, but leaving the front door wide open.

 

[Bradley]

Sounds like I took a break from watching the game on the right night.

He’s absolutely dreadful. Lightweight and no positional sense.

 

[Red Bird]

😡

“Through-ball to ANY striker”

 

[Red Mullet]

My god, we’re shite

 

[rurikbird]

Has Minamino touched the ball yet?

Yes, but not with enough quality when he got it. He is one of the few players moving properly though.

He's too busy being bullied by 18 year olds. He'd struggle physically in the Women's league

 

[Shadey]

Onodi motm so far well done kid, it would be 5-1 if it wasn’t for his saves.

 

[Hansern]

Jeeezees, thats an awful 1st half.
I hope Klopp gives them a bollocking.

Pass, pass, turn, back, cross. Repeat.

 

[Fabio]

Hilariously shite

Front 3 look completely jaded and no doubt mane and salah could have done with a rest.

Right side of defence is just going to be focused on

 

[HC]

I mean , play a high line with an inexperienced , not particularly fast CB against a hot youth prospect and shit happens

Not surprised really , we have little incentive or form with this like they do, they've been as solid at the back as weve been good going forward ..both meh

 

[Fabio]

He hasn't the last 3 games, so I fail to see why he would now

 

[Red Bird]

That’s largely because we keep finding him with our shots. There’s no redeeming feature to our play whatsoever.

 

[Best Believe It]

That was depressingly shit

 

[Red Bird]

Aston Villa's kids doing their team proud. We're sh!t, though.

 

[Fabio]

United are going to humiliate us

 

[Shadey]

They all had a rest the other week and was still shit after the rest, they need to man up ffs.

 

[Donavan Ried]

Yes, but not with enough quality when he got it. He is one of the few players moving properly though.

You could say that about all our players at the moment

Massive confidence builder this

Confidence isn't the issue. There are several players who need the most ginormous kick up the arse, and have needed it for several games. This is the game for it, one way or another - not the next game. The amount of quivering bottom lips on here is extraordinary. I could not care less about the cup. I could not give a toss about this game (even if we win, we'll only be handed a game against a top team next round when we already have too much else to focus on). So sit back, hug that favourite blanket, and just leave it to the players to see who wants to play for this club and who doesn't.

Wow. Glad I couldn’t get bt sport set up in time on my phone

Was thinking that watch how we are playing

At the minute it's hard to see anyone who wants to play for us

But didn't take the right night off from posting about it.

 

[gkmacca]

Fine, whatever. Discuss after 90 minutes.

 

[gkmacca]

Again: what a pity you can still post.

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Plenty of possession but just not clinical. Trying to walk it in as well.Salah playing for himself. Rhys just hasn't got the pace or upperbody strength and in any one on one situation he looks vulnerable. Second half little bit more direct, purposeful. Shot shy team.

 

[Shadey]

My 7-2 bet is still on.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Release the Shaqken! (Please, for the love of god... he gets better with every half of football he doesn't play.)
