Frankly I thought Villa was disappointing - with that high line they were playing and all 3 of our forward being so quick and comfortable running in behind, their only chance was to make sure Trent had no time on the ball - and they completely failed in that. In fact Trent had so much time and space even he looked surprised at times - and of course his quarterback-like balls over the top to Salah and co. destroyed the Villans.
They failed to test MacAllister at #6 too; he had his easiest game of the season by far and also failed to try to run at Matip and Gomez all game. It was so one sided, it made me think of how it must have been in the late 1970 when Liverpool dominated the league and teams stepped onto the Anfield grass expecting to get beat and just wanted to get it over with quickly. So overall, I would not make too many judgments based on this game - for whatever reason Villa couldn’t make it a contest, but there will be tougher tests ahead. 10 points from first 4 games is lovely.
