Iago Aspas

[Sarb]

Generally what happens when players dont get game time. Not match fit enough to make an impact when they come on. **** corner but generally playing poor

[Pablo]

His general play in the time he was on the pitch was actually ok, he had a few nice one touch interchanges in and around the box and looked very lively.

He's not good enough and will be sold, but still, everyone loves a scapegoat and this is largely a misdirection of everyone's anger and frustration.

**** you Iago, **** you!!!!!

[Buzzo]

Poor *******. I remember thinking "Aspas is taking this? Must be good at taking set pieces" and then he did that. You can't help but laugh

Haha - that's exactly what I thought. 'Excellent, we've got specialist corner taker obviously, I've been wondering when he would play his part'.

...If ever there was a corner that needed to go right in 'the mixer'...

He must have almost got an assist for the second?

[McDermotX]

If we are fielding suggestions, then may I propose crucifixion.

Drawn-out, messy, but hugely effective if performed correctly, and gives by far the highest ratio of death/painful torture that will also satiate many Liverpool fans' desire for recompense.
We just missed out on Easter, plus it's a wee bit barbaric, but it'll send out a message to all those average footballers to eke out a living elsewhere.

To be fair, that was that arrogant, unfit, waste of space Sturridge.

correct. this is the whole purpose. make sure the other part timers can see it as they drive in and out of melwood in their big phat cars,
no passengers at Anfield, that'll learn em

[Tee]

I genuinely thought he would come on, do something unexpected and get us back in the game.

[Phoenix07]

I was expecting a Macheda moment, but after that corner, I realised it'd probably be the last time we'd see him playing for us.

[vlahka]

I almost walked off when I saw him coming on because he really isnt good enough. But I stayed and willed for him to pull out a triple somersault bicycle kick goal. All I got was that corner.

[Exiled_red]

I think the move to bring him on was pure desperation, there was a lot of that in the second half. I don't think he was particularly good or bad. The corner was the main thing that everyone can remember and he's getting a lot of stick for it, most of which IMO is over the top but is was a frustrating situation and people are looking for a scapegoat and he's an easy target.

He's not suited to us or the league and he'll be gone next season. I don't have a problem with him like I have with some players we've had.

[McDermotX]

It was a magnificent moment.

Years from now, assuming 'What Happened Next ?' is still going on a Question of Sport. That kick will feature highly.

[Mostar]

He almost had one as his pass to Sterling led to a pretty decent chance.

That said his corner was beyond terrible.

Have no idea what he saw.

[Exiled_red]

He has to have been aiming for whoever is about 30 yards out (I can't make it out who it is in the gif posted on the previous page), but the pass is ~12 yards short

He is on a different level than the rest of them out there. That's genius for you.

I've seen many corners like that, just none on that magnitude and with such meaning.

Everyone's played football and laid a simple pass off to see that the one you were passing too wasn't on the same wave length. In all fairness Iago was probably sat on the bench watching us waste corner after corner, and waste the ball with countless crosses to our not so giant attacking players and though, **** it. We'll go for the simple pass to creat a better angle or shooting chance and see what happens.

Despite all the evidence of that particular option having failed during the match, he should still have put it in the mixer, as you never know. But I just can't comprehend the type of discussions had over it, as though Iagos corner was the main reason we failed to avoid defeat. At least he came on and created one decency opportunity, more than most the rest had managed in 90 minutes they had.
