Aston Villa vs Liverpool - Premier League (20/21 - Game 4)

[ChesterDave]

is it worth watching MOTD2 for the highlights

Only if they show Ross Barkley reverting to type by airballing a volley as well as his massively deflected goal.

[Kenneth]

Without the error for the first the game would have panned out very differently
Dragging them back to 1-1 with the penalty the game would have panned out very differently

I suppose, looking for positives, all the stinking luck with the deflections are out the way in one go

I don't see why. They attacked down our right, we fell apart, right from the start and throughout

[Exiled_red]

After watching that the only positives are Mane and Thiago

And Matip his value has increased significantly after today

[fabinho]

Thiago must be checking his contract for a cooling off period.

[Maxiedge]

This game was so crazy that it wouldn't surprise me if a few of the players tested positive for Covid. That was so lethergic.

I do also feel the keeper error really knocked us back. You felt it as a fan and I'm sure the players feel it too when something like that happens. Regarding the error, Gomez could have done better too.

[McDermotX]

Getting inundated with these now

And these

[Buzzo]

Thiago must be checking his contract for a cooling off period.

...I'm absolutely reeling from that.

Can't even watch MotD and laugh at Utd now FFS.

What a weird day. Thought we'd get back into it when Mo scored his first (2-1 right?) and we just imploded.

There've been a few teams who've tried that so it's obviously a bit of a weak link, Villa got it right today though. And we were garbage.

[BobTheCharmer]

That 7th goal sums it up. Trent on the halfway line beaten by a simple pass. We're 6-2 down and these planks think its acceptable to play that line?

Klopp has arguably his toughest job to get results with no keeper and one centre back over the next few months.

is probably the bigger point

[Irishnev]

This is what happens when Foresterbloke doesnt do the match thread. Disaster.

[S-RED]

Keane will definitely be raising a glass tonight.... Over to you Mr Klopp

Yeah I think so. Their second against run of play Inc pen.
Got it to 1-2 then a huge kick in the teeth.. Never recovered and still two more massive deflections to come.

They defended well though. We could have defended a bit better...

[danperkins]

Robbo Jota and Mo can hold their head high. The rest of the lads were abysmal, subs were abysmal. Never seen anything like it. A few things I take from this freak occurrence which is it was a freak result and 3 deflections but here's my tuppence:

1. Gomez is not the CB to partner Virgil. I know Virgil has been poor but Joe makes so many mistakes and his pace gets him out of his poor positional sense. Cannot rely on him or Matips fitness. Surprised we haven't got another CB to be honest.

2. Bobby needs to be dropped, been well below par since the start of the year. His finishing is dreadful and his touch and passing is way off. He's just way off form,too many excuses being made for him.

3. Adrian cannot be relied upon, sell. Riddled with mistakes and completely unsettles the defence.

4. Keita is not good enough to start for us, passenger.
