Villa away

[thompsonsnose]

Right.

That last 10-15 minutes was a perfect example of how we need some more bollocks/muscle/control in the midfield.

Mr Lucas disappeared kids.

 

Great half an hour, but its there for all to see.

[James Dean]

Didn't seem prepared when Villa upped the tempo a bit. Need a kick up the backside.

 

Edit: I hope we keep trying to hold on to it, killing the tempo as that's what Villa thrives on.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Nervy end, but we are away to Villa, who gave both Arsenal and Chelsea very tough games. We are controlling things, which is exactly what I wanted in the first half, we are a goal up, and their star striker has been limited to one shot, which our keeper saved.

 

It's a decent start, but Aspas needs to get more into the game. We need to up the pace.

[Dr. J]

This where Chelsea almost blew it, get up 1-0 and relax. Hope we come out fired up for the second half.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Amazing goal.

 

Lucas and Gerrard played v well for 40m.

 

Aspas hasn't been very good.

 

Can't let them build up a head of steam, need a second but generally need to stop sitting back. Sturridge needs to be told to hang between their centre backs and run the channels as an outlet.

[JermainePennant]

When we were on top we were excellent on ball, we have two centre backs as good on the ball as some prem midfielders.A few teams are going to get battered and not see the ball at anfield this season.

Do we ever? We just get comfy and look hurt when the other team try and get at us. We never respond by upping the tempo ourselves.

[Gym Beglin]

Coutinho jumped on everytime he's in possession, to be expected though.

 

Aspas quiet, would like to see Borini or Sterling brought on.

[Red House]

Shitloads of possession, yet, they've had as many attempts at goal as we have. We really need a winning mentality instilled into this team. Attacking is truly the best form of defense in our case, every time we don't have possession we do look vulnerable.

[lebron]

Right.

Or when one player doesn't work as hard as the other 9 outfield players. Lucas probably our best player so far. Football, eh...

 

Great work by cou, Enrique and Sturridge for the goal, let's pick it up from the start again 2nd half. Thought we were really good for 35 mins!

[JermainePennant]

Also as I said before season toure even though an excellent signing for us is not the answer to big physical teams just look back at problems arsenal had when he was there.We still need a commanding cb in the hypia mould to deal with long ball teams.

[Anubis]

Come on boys. Put this to bed.

[magicrat]

Aspas was onside for me

[Anubis]

No fucking way!

[polymerpunkah]

How is that free kick?

 

Get your head in the game Clattenberg, you tool.

[Jhinge Machha]

the longer it stays 1-0, we will shit ourselves..really really need ot score soon

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I'd like Sterling on now. For Aspas.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Villa far better this half.

[Anubis]

Second to everything. Fucking wake up.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Lowton is a prick.

[polymerpunkah]

Vicious stamp there on Coutinho.

 

Clattenburg really is shit.

[ZonkoVille77]

Ref is a cunt.

This has a touch of the inevitable about it.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Look at how high their line is ffs. Get sterling on

[Anubis]

Lowton subbed because otherwise he'd probably be off.

[Bobby Hundreds]

C'mon liverpool this is poor.
