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

[Irishnev]

Right lads - time to give it a miss for a few days. Let’s hope the lads avoid injury on international duty and more importantly bloody CV

The derby next which is the perfect place to get a response - Hendo, Matip, Thiago and Mane all back

[Mark79]

What I’d give for a 0-0 in the Derby now!

**** it you have to laugh

In 21 games for us Adrian has made 5 errors directly leading to goals. As much as Allison has made in 92 games.

I think we'll be OK but Everton is a tough game coming up, not sure how Klopp is going to sort that defence out. Anyway going to try and get some sleep, feel sick after watching that.

My TV's just died

Why couldn't the ****er have broken a bit sooner then I wouldn't have had to watch that **** show, I just can't get a break

[BootRoom]

If we've got: a solid keeper; Gomez out of the firing line replaced by Fab; Mane and Thiago back; and are fired up from first whistle, I think we'll be OK against the bitters.

From a Villa point of view, I’d begun to notice this last season, but Grealish is a real player. Not just hype but Genuine quality. Villa will do well to keep him for long.

[Exiled_red]

Only thing to take from that absolute horror show is that we learn from it. The keeper is abysmal but the rest of the team were ****ing dreadful as well, never seen us defend that badly before.

Drop a bit deeper as the high line is mental, get the midfield and defence better linked against and just ****ing learn from this.

****ing call at 9 with a Villa fan tomorrow morning

I feel that the line is a bit too high most of the time, but with Allisson playing as a sweeper keeper it sort of works, dropping 5 yards or so would probably be beneficial. But with Adrian not playing the sweeper keeper we have to play a much much deeper line.

What a disappointment Nabby Keita is. £55m player, waited ages for him to sign and meh.

Really don't see it with him. Been a fan for a while (more in hope) but he's never done it on the pitch. Was getting praised for 'his work in restricting Auba' against Arsenal but I didn't notice anything other than an above average display then either. Jones is such a better midfielder than him it's embarrassingly noticeable.

[BigChief]

We will beat Everton and this is why:

1. Our players will be crazy to try putting that performance out again in front of Klopp. We're not City.
2. From 3-1 to 6-2 Villa scored three deflections in a row that were absolute rubbish shots.
3. Villa's first goal was all Adrian.
4. Thiago and Mane will replace Keita (useless) and Jota (needs to work on pressing more in training).
5. Firmino can't be this bad again, can he?

If anything, I fear for Everton to have to face us after all our complacency has been exposed in one game.

[S-RED]

Klopp pretty much stated that we play the high line & expect the keeper to do better...... he knows

[The_weatherman]

Lovren on Twitter going crazy

[Buzzo]

He’s right really.

He’s have been hung drawn and quartered for that performance mind you.

Playing the high line is always a risk.
Normally our front 3, lead by mane, will press the opposition player with the ball to prevent them picking an easy long pass, and our midfield cut out the short passes, but that has been absent.

Why vvd or klopp didn't realise we needed to play 10 yards deeper, why did we forget the whole team work ethic.
