FA Cup - Aston Villa: Post Match

[Alex]

FSG, the experiment has ****ing failed. Find a buyer, get the **** out and take your ****ing protege with u.

Jesus, thats quite the change you are calling for Tee.

Its the manager and the players who ****ed that. The players are good enough to beat Aston Villa. Hardly time to sell up.

[McDermotX]

If even someone like Savage can question the amount of ****ing around with the team over the 90mins, then you know something is wrong.

[Marina]

Football has become pointless. Its ruined.

And just think of all the time and energy we have poured into it! More or less a waste of our time in the end...

[Tee]

Welcome to the world of football in 2015. Its endless money or nothing. You simply have to spend as much as a small countries entire health budget on players wages to have a chance of competing. Its a joy isn't it.

Too many passengers going through the motions there today. Yawning chasm in front of the back line every time Villa pushed a few men forward, and for most of the time we were "chasing the game" we barely raised a gallop and were so easily contained. Sterling, despite a wonderfully over-inflated ego is not a player to turn a game when the chips are down and sadly there's too many more like him in the side who go missing and can't take the game by the scruff.

As for Rogers, without an unbelievable world class talent playing out of his skin week in and week out to disguise his shortcomings, he just looks a busted flush at this stage.

If he's sacked and Klopp wouldn't take it, I'd be more than happy to have Rafa back. With the money Rogers has spunked, he'd be doing way better.

Real tactical disaster. Shameful stuff.

Obsessed much. This is the LFC forum FFS.

Totally agree.

Tim Sherwood"We robbed them," he says with a smile when told Mario Balotelli's goal was onside.

Aston Villa's 19-year-old midfielder Jack Grealish on BBC Radio 5 live: On Tim Sherwood

"He gave me a kiss as I came off - I enjoyed that one. It's one of the best kisses I've ever had!"

I still think you don't have to go the mega bucks route. Just find a manager capable of setting a team up in an effective system who can produce a high performance level more often than not. Have a flexible squad to change formation depending on the opponent but without disrupting style of play. I dont necessarily think you need a best 11, you need a consistent squad of about 15 first teamers to rotate through considering formation, opposition, suspensions, injuries etc...

Maybe but I think that only works once you're in a place to be upgrading your squad... where we are right now, we need some serious investment to get us back into a bargaining position. I like FSG and don't think we need a new owner necessarily, but my opinion may change if they don't make any progressive changes and splash the cash for the cause.

I said it about Vidic when he decided he was leaving United last season, and I'll say it again. If you agree to move to another club before your current contract has expired. Then just go. Don't hang around, your head or your heart obviously isn't in it anymore.

[Tatterdemalion]

Would it though? Superficially, yes, but that's it.

Well maybe next week I'll agree with you, but right now the only line I won't cross is Mourinho. Would rather have Woy back in charge.

Let me know when this joke wears itself out.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

That's all down to one man and he's in Barcelona. It would appear that Rodgers got lucky last season with Suarez.

Which is why I still don't trust him, his idea of our strongest XI up towards December still included Lovern, Johnson and Gerrard as the anchor.

[Rich]

I've had a couple of beers so that's having an influence but I'd probably twist in the summer and start again. Today was appalling.

Personnel wrong, tactics wrong and bringing on a second striker as the 90th minute ticks by is, frankly, embarrassing.

What was he thinking?!?

Brendan - 'disappointing'

No ****.
