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

[danperkins]

Our defence have been dire, but to be honest the forward line hasn't been a cohesive unit for a while, a decent number of goals have come from individual play. I am a massive fan of Bobby, but for much of the last 6 months or so something hasn't been right with him and I'm not just talking about his lack of goals.

massive fan of him too and he is a fan favourite so gets leeway from many but been saying it for months now he is way off. Everything about his game is off.

No. He was great when Alisson was out for a while. His first one was dreadful, granted, but the defence was like going out for a night in Leeds in February wearing only high heels and a paper apron. Naturally as the next couple came in he got more nervous. You bring in a keeper when you have a decently drilled back 4, not to sort out your defensive woes. We should have learned that lesson after David James.

He really wasn’t. The mistakes have been there throughout. The results papered over them.

No, he looked ****e in the league cup games last season

yeah thats pretty bat **** crazy TBH :O)

& something Klopp would not do

I've only seen him in the league cup games last year with reserve or youth team players in front of him. I don't know if he would be better with our senior defence ahead of him, does he have a style that is more suited to our style of play than Adrian, because Adrian just doesn't suit our style at all.

Yeah, he was letting in one at least pretty much every game. He just had the rest of the team 100% on song in front of him.

I guess this one is for Klopp, been a while since he has had to do anything other than talk about how good we are.

Either way, you don't drop Kelleher into that **** show.

I think Klopp has to rethink his tactics. The gap between attack and defence is huge now, the link up has disappeared.

[Maxiedge]

Should've got Reina in for a season.

[kemm1]

That should be Adrian's last game. He should have been binned as soon as possible after the Athletico game.

Adrian set the tone for the game and suck the confidence right out of the team. He needs to go right now. Enough is enough.

Honestly I don't think he was, I said this last season (so it's not a reaction to today), his performances were shakey, but we were good defensively which helped out massively, plus we were very good going forward and managed to get results.

After watching that the only positives are Mane and Thiago

I'm so pleased I have other interests outside of football!

If they're obscure we have a thread you can share them in.

Seriously WTF?

It defies logic

[BobTheCharmer]

That should be Adrian's last game. He should have been binned as soon as possible after the Athletico game.

I'd have locked him in a cellar after that Madrid game. Useless.

[Buzzo]

It defies logic

Did he think it was full time, it is as if he is going to run off the pitch.
