Liverpool vs Aston Villa: Match Thread

[Roboklopp]

Xabi. Legend.

[ronanm]

Come back Xabi!

[Exiled_red]

Oh we are. It's how we play second half when we've got a lead. What's working here is Villa are so crap we can get the ball off them and then break.

Still, I mustn't carp when we're 3-0 up, even if the opposition are appalling.

But how crap is the Premier League this season?

There are some very poor sides, Villa and West Ham have both been awful when we've played them

[Craig_H]

It was Ngog

Nah, Babel deserves credit too, for tearing himself away from the laptop for a couple of hours.

[Molby]

General transfer speculation............

[SimonNo7]

how terrible are villa though.

luckily for ged his team is winning though

Cheers for that!

As for Villa they are shocking!

[Craig_H]

Kuyt loses the ball poorly - Lucas in brilliantly to break up the play and win the ball back.

Brilliant Lucas

[Slinky Skills]

Belter of a finish by take it to the max Maxi!!

[rudedog]

He's poor at finishing chances. Very inconsistent. His shooting is hot and cold, mostly cold.

[SB]

Team playing with cohesion, vision and fluidity. The players on the park look as though a weight has been lifted from them.

What's going on?

Ged gave the team talk instead of Roy

[The Erectile Banana]

That was some pass by Ngog for the third goal.

Well played Sir.

[Neil Young]

There are some very poor sides, Villa and West Ham have both been awful when we've played them

And Blackburn.

And even Bolton seemed crap IIRC.

[Craig_H]

At this stage, the points should be safe - and the concerns should be gone. So we have all we need to push on and put them to the sword. 4-0 or 5-0 should be on the cards, boost the GD and confidence.
