Aston Villa Vs Liverpool Match Thread

[Mystic]

Lovely that, Moreno has the ball, Firmno sprints across the back line to make some space, Moreno feeds him in, belts towards the 6 yard line, Firmino reverse it back to him, but as Moreno's on the stretch he can only tamely shot it at the goalie, super movement though.

 

[Leo]

Although this looks a really dreadful Villa defence.

They are playing like a team already relegated.
They play like Barcelona at Anfield for some reason.

Is anyone not actually watching this? Otherwise me writing little summaries is pointless.

no please continue.
dinner, gf, soon.

B Rod is a genius.
Buying Benteke for 32 million knowing we had this game 8 months on.

Considering this is - central defence aside - our strongest XI, we should be beating teams like this easily. When we get Skrtel, Lovren and Caulker all fit and match-ready we will have a few more options. Not forgetting Flanagan and Smith.

We still need at least three new players, probably four

I'm watching it on the Tele but can't watch and type at the same time. So I'm reading your little summaries to catch up.

Currently out of phase so I'm just following the game via your post rather than the Tele...

Friminiho is boss at the gegenpressing.

 

[KopRed]

Is Sakho bad at winning headers or what?

See, I miss this because I was replying to Mystic

 

[Fabio]

How will Gotze fit in our front 3?

Very easily

 

[manwithnoname]

He's bad at football

 

[Mystic]

We seem to be changing shape quite a lot in this game, sometimes it looks like we're a 4-3-3, then we'll switch to a 4-2-3-1, it's awesome.

 

[keniget]

I don't think we're playing particularly well. We've played better and gotten nothing out of the game. Difference today is we've got some cutting edge up front.

 

[manwithnoname]

Absolute dogshit defending from that cross there, from the Keystone Kops in central defence

 

[Mystic]

no please continue.

Cool, pretty uneventful five minutes anyhow, just a tame shot cross from Gabby

 

[Fabio]

And am I alone in thinking we don't look great?

The front 3 look ok but unfit, but can and hendo look poor, and the defence.... Urgh. Struggling with the simple things

Against a team who are guaranteed relegation at the minute

It's not good enough

 

[doctor_mac]

Firmino won the ball brilliantly again to set up that counter.

 

[FoxForceFive]

This is gonna sound odd with him scoring already, but fuck me Sturridge looks rusty.

In form he'd have has at least another two shots on target so far, which usually means at least once more goal.

 

[Mystic]

He's bad at football

He's had a decent game so far, but that's because he's playing a championship level team.

 

[Leo]

Milner is miles better when he plays with intelligent footballers.
Sorry Lallana and Ibe.

Never a truer word spoken.

 

[DHSC]

Dangerous cross from Moreno

 

[FoxForceFive]

Ibe is the football equivalent of a reality TV show contestant when it comes to brains.

Such a shame cos he has all the attributes to be great, just none of the footballing intelligence to turn it into brilliance.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Milner could. Have scored had he shot there.

Sturridge with brilliant first touch & good shot.

 

[Leo]

Brilliant pass from Coutinho there.
He really makes us look dangerous.

 

[DHSC]

What a fucking pass from Coutinho.

 

[cloggypop]

Decent save by Fruity from Studge.

 

[doctor_mac]

Wow, nearly three. We want three!!! Please.

 

[manwithnoname]

Moreno is causing chaos. Milner also causing problems. Good save from Fru T Bunn, Sturridge with a nice shot
