Match Thread: Aston Villa v Liverpool

[Insidious]

We look weak as piss once the press is broken.t

At least there is a press - our counter-press against Man City wasn't really happening.

Understandable to some degree with the mish-mash line-up and a midfield that wasn't particularly athletic, but still....

Mystery foul on Mo gets free kick

Entertaining half, get another and finish them off

Never a foul and we were in. Ref is a twat

Nunez wants the record for how many ways to not score chances in one game

Took Crouch 19 games to get a goal the poor fella! Got there in the end with some important ones.

5 in 19 appearances for Robbie Keane wasn't it?

That was a thoroughly entertaining half!

Ah no I’m not. I praise him for all the good he does which is lots. He’s really dangerous. Just some major things to be improved on too.

Agreed eggy, defenders don't like him, and he creates space for others as such, but think he will come good with his finishing and final passes.

watched last 20.. seems Nunez couldnt score in a brothel. thankfully we are 2 up

[Insidious]

Needless to say we have to win this game, particularly now we're in this position.

Being 5 points behind 4th-placed Spurs with a game in hand would be decent enough. Keep those above us within reasonable distance.

Crouch said on his podcasts that Rafa was happy with him not scoring because he was happy with the general team performance and the role crouch was playing in it. Crouch wasn't happy because he wasn't scoring goals so changed from Rafa's instructions to his own and started scoring goals. Rafa started dropping him!
