Lille post-mortem

[Parr_Zee]

Sorry but O'Neill? We don't want another counter-attacking side

O'Neill's Villa play excellent football - get the ball forward at pace, with good wingers - its what we're crying out for.

El Zhar is rubbish. This comment is neither intuitive nor constructive. It's a Ronseal comment.

[JohnDoe]

Aston Villa are a Stoke that has very good players.

[Darkon]

Can't believe how depressing a side we are to watch nowadays...

No ****ing creativity

No ****ing threat whatsoever

No ****ing motivation to see in the players

No ****ing confidence to spot anywhere in the team

No ****ing new ideas from the manager to get us out of this mess

No ****ing sense of pride and urgency to find anywhere!

Bye Rafa thanks for the good times - it's just gone tits up for ya now...

When was the last time you saw Steven Gerrard sprint? Im absolutely convinced that he's physically broken. I think he needs an operation. Why is he even playing 90 minutes when he's either not fit or not interested?

Why hook off Babel? 2 defensive mids and as usual absolutely no clear chances created. Torres is just getting more and more frustrated at the lack of support and Kuyt doesn't have the pace in him to get forward

There is no unity in that team and only Mascherano and Reina seem to be playing for Rafa now. Somebody please end it ffs

Babel one on one, Torres free header from six yards ???

**** off Craig, it is not a hollow comment, we didn't just keep everyone back all the time, we were poor going forward and seriously lacked confidence, but we did go forward.

You are just making a cheap fallacious argument.

Well we did set foot in their half, yes. Is that what you want from us, as an example of attacking though?

If you're happy with that as a representation of Liverpool 'attacking' an opponent, then fair enough. I personally think it was diabolically inept as an example of an attacking mentality.

[Mattshark]

O'Neill would do a fantastic job here - he is passionate, honest, and plays great football. He has been successful whereever he has been and deserves the chance to manage at the top-level.

If we don't get him, Man Utd will when Fergie finally hangs up his chewing gum.

NO! That would be a nightmare.

[little dave hedgehog]

i fell asleep. did we win?!?!?!

[wiw]

He has a bigger budget at Villa than he would get at Liverpool though

[Parr_Zee]

Do you think so? He plays pretty defensive, counter attacking football, and usually sticks a big man up front.

Yeah, and that front man is supported by Agbonlahor, Young, Petrov, Milner and Downing. Really defensive that!!

[Craig_H]

I never seriously thought that this was a genuine possibility, but i now think there IS actually a chance that Torres will **** us off and leave this summer. Why would anyone stick around for this nonsense? He's the best in the world and will want honours to match his ability and status and the realisation that he wont get them in these circumstances will dawn on him before long.

[Daniel mote]

Any one think we would be better off with rafa walking and dalglish taking over until the end of the season. Cant be any worse.

[SK]

That's what the tv presenter just said.

I'll wait and see if Rafa comes out and says anything.

if there was ever a sign all is not well between rafa and the players it's this. ****.

Six minutes, christ even Kuyt gets more than that, before the boo boys are on his back.

[Armchairkopite]

God knows who the beef barrens will bring in to replace him though.
