Bloody hell. Great move. Babel should have scored.

[Biff]

Babel is quick

[Red_Al_77]

**** we've had some cracking chances today

[bigfooty]

Villa pressure on left, ball bobbling in the box, eventually we get a free kick.

[Nicey]

Come On You Mighty Red Men !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bigfooty]

**** we've had some cracking chances today

And rarely hit the target.

[bigfooty]

Kuyt turns and plays it wide to Babel, his return ball is cut out and comes to Gerrard who hits it high.

[bigfooty]

Torres taken off, good reception from our fans. The Crow comes on.

[Red_Al_77]

And rarely hit the target.

Sorry but that is bollocks. All three main SG chances were on goal producing two blocks and a great save.

[RoadEnd]

Gerrard is pants - get him off !!

[bigfooty]

A counter-attack from us, Babel plays it wide to Riise who has a weak shot deflected wide for a corner.

[MyEye]

still struggling to find the net - now here's Voronin and he takes off Torres, my god Rafa knows Kuyt is ****e.

[spud_gun]

Good debut from Torres. Lots of promise.

[bigfooty]

From the corner it eventually comes to Babel who hits it on the turn powerfully. Good block from keeper.

[Red_Al_77]

**** Babel has a fierce shot
