Liverpool v Villa (A) PL

[Harv]

Lots of players looked like they were in self preservation mode to me. Big Cup finals around the corner.

Good to see Stevie had all his players wound up to knock us off too No doubt they lay down and get steamrolled 6-0 against City now.

Heard a sip of Gerrards post match on the radio this AM. Complaining about Moss in the first half. Not wrong Stevie, your goal should have been disallowed!

Yeah had a right moan about the ref, was salty as **** afterwards. The interviewer then said "Moss is retiring at the end of the season" "Is he? Good!"

Thought we did well to get through that last night, feels like the number of games has slowly been catching up with us of late and we're certainly not at our brilliant best at the moment.

3 points though which is what we needed and what we got, hopefully some big performances this weekend!

We've had a ridiculous run of fixtures and are playing two games a week to our opponents one. Some times it will be tough and ugly. I love wins like that.

Thought we were excellent at times last night. After their firing start, we settled down and slowed the game, second half was even better. Was a bit tense in the end, but what can you expect. I also thought, that teams get fired up more when they play us compared to City, which kind of explains why teams lose heavily against them, it's not because of their brilliance. Teams want to beat us more, as we're more of a scalp. You could feel the atmosphere and the Villa players being up for it, flying into tackles.

Hope they do the same against City.

In their corresponding home game? By how much they lost, I can’t remember? Might be when they were still coached by Dean Smith?

we were saying something similar after Newcastle weren't we?

Hard fought 1-2 away win.

Wonder if they got slammed by their online support

I meant in their game coming up. It'll be 4-0 City or something. Not a chance Villa show even a modicum of that aggression against them.

It’s Stevie. If there’s anything still in it at that stage, he’ll have them going for it, surely?

Teams are going aggressive against us because a few teams have shown it frustrates us and stops us playing. I don’t watch city often but maybe they haven’t shown that vulnerability.

[Mark79]

City have dropped points in 8 games to our 10, with us having played 1 more.

They’ve lost as many games in the league alone as we’ve lost across all 4 competitions.

They’ve also shown multiple times that they don’t do as well when the opposition open the scoring.

If there’s encouragement to go against us then I can’t see why there shouldn’t be against City.
