Liverpool vs Aston Villa: Match Thread

[Drago]

The game was called off and they're showing an old game on repeat.

Surely this isn't us playing under Roy?

Get in, was off but we deserve a bit of luck!

[SB]

What a great finish

[Mattshark]

Great finish from Babel, also lovely pass from Lucas.

And whilst i would never say we should be selling Gerrard/Torres - we are seeing tonight what happens when the other players dont have the easy option of 'oh, lets just give it to gerrard, he will do something'.

Also nice to see strikers actually pressing, chasing, working and wanting to succeed - instead of sulking, moaning and whinging.

Houllier: "Liverpool are BACK."

[Kenneth]

Wow. 2 goals on the first half, so far.

[Lee]

Few more would be very useful for the goal difference.

****ing hell, i thought Johnson was going to give away a peno then

Dunno who you mean Craig

[Craig_H]

Have sky set up a mic on the villa bench?

All i can hear is a scottish (possibly bald) bloke shouting instructions

Lucas is making me a fan. He's a much better player from last season.

Continuing his development.
Having a good game so far

[Craig_H]

Yep, he's turning into a very solid and reliable player in the centre.

I no longer worry about him in there, it actually reassures me.

And right on cue, he steps in to break up a potential chance for Ireland.

And maybe it's the other players playing their own game and with freedom rather than the pressure and feeling they have to pass it to Stevie?
