Match Thread - LFC vs Villa

[stuartb]

Ill be curious to see what the posession stat is at half time - its all us. Villa havent strung more than 3 passes together the whole game

[Nicey]

Kuyt has been out f ing standing tonight

[bigfooty]

Gerrard staying very deep in this game as it has developed.

Aimless high ball easily won by Villa. Sami doing well, Mascher upsets Mellberg who goes after him. Kuyt cross whipped away.

Mellberg and Mascher being called together by Ref. Nothing tackle tbh, Mellberg being a little girl.

I've heard it makes you go blind, but deaf as well?!

did someone say something?

[Red_Al_77]

Mellberg is a big tart

[Gazzla]

Mellberg the big tart, Mascher would snap him in 2

[CAD]

Hyypia has been outstanding tonight.

[bigfooty]

Arbeloa forces a corner with a nudge on Young.

Gerrard to take, drops into a good spot, cleared. Torres gives it away, poor play from Nando who is really off his game tonight.

[Morph]

i like arbeloa, was always going to take a good player to take finnans spot and it looks like he has

[Jayesh87]

Sammi with a **** hott tackle!

[Morph]

top notch from sami

[bigfooty]

Danger for us, Carew wins a header and Sami has to dive at the ball to nip it away from Agbonlahor who was onto it.

Laursen wins the header from the corner, drops comfortably to Pepe.

[Morph]

we need goal number 2 to give a bit of a cushion, come on men, before half time

[bigfooty]

Almost a nice move from us, Kuyt lays it off to Kewell who trys the first time ball over the top for Torres. Just overhit.

[bazza76]

top notch from sami

He has been our best player in the first half.
