A lot threatening since Darwin went off 

 

I do get the impression you're a bit of a Nunez fan.  I like him as well.  It would be good to see him get a run of a few games.

Dominik is an absolute dreamboat that scores shit pingers with his weaker foot. 

Gerraway, bitch, or I'll scratch your eyes out! I saw him first.

Fantastic performance all round, but Villa were poor.

 

No press, didn't create much from the few chances they had on the counter, and didn't have any clue how to deal with the press.

 

Nunez creates so much havoc, even if he doesn't score, he creates goals (Diaz taps in the second if Cash doesn't get a boot on it, header going wide but Salah is there, etc).

 

Slobozlai's goal reminded me of Thiago's vs Porto.

 

Instead of playing more defensively in the absence of both starting CBs, Klopp went the other direction. Good choice.

 

Impressed with the referee who managed to do his job without inserting himself into the match.

Been a while since he's pulled up any trees

We should have brought Justin Timber in as cover.

I think we need to show more still, Villa did some weird stuff; they weren't really pressing and at the same time there was some space in behind, but there are some good signs.

 

I've always said that the easiest way for a team to be called shit, is to lose to us.

They have only failed to score in 2 games since Emery took over. With Gomez and Matip likely to start together combined with Villa's pace out wide, i do have a slight worry about tomorrow. Fancy a high scoring game, so hopefully Mo and Darwin have the shooting boots on.

Comfortable against Draculas minions.

Nothing like a Brummie-bumming on a sunny Sunday.

There really are some leaders on that pitch. A bit of a cliche, yes, but it's more real than it has been, and for such a younger team, that's great. Very pleased with most of those performances, but a special shout out to Gomez and Matip who defied quite a few dire predictions. As for Szoboszlai, he's REALLY promising!

Schmeichel saying it didn’t feel like a 3-0 game!!! We fucking battered them.

 

He's right. We should have scored 5 or 6 before 60 minutes

Haha, I get what you're saying, but I think Emery might have misjudged that. We still played well, though.

I think my favorite phrase applies here.

 

Two things can be true!

They were lucky to be nil.

[Dicko]

I think when in doubt, put the ball in the back of the net.

Do that more than the team you're playing and you'll have a chance.

I feel we did that well today.

[redinblack]

Well I've had a couple of beers, and I'm having a couple more while watching Arse v United.  And that Havertz just miskicked in front of goal, what a cunt we dodged a bullet there. We should batter both of these.

Scan for TAA.....usually leads to bad news.

 

Trent Alexander-Arnold will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury he sustained during Sunday’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa.

 

The full-back was forced from the field after 71 minutes at Anfield after picking up a suspected hamstring issue, with Jarell Quansah replacing Liverpool’s captain for the day.

 

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Jürgen Klopp revealed Alexander-Arnold was optimistic the problem wasn’t a serious one, but the No.66 will require further assessment.

The manager said: “I don’t know exactly. I asked him, he said it’s [his] hamstring.

“'Not too serious’ is his opinion, but we obviously have to wait for the scans and then we will know more.

[TheHowieLama]

4-6 weeks. Shite - thought he just got stepped on.

[Anubis]

Gomez right back and Quansah in the centre.

Where's that from?

Great idea not bringing a defender in!

Experience.

So... a guess, then.  From what we know now it could be 4-6 days or 4-6 months.  Either way, it's a shitter, because I thought he did really well today.

[Megadrive Man]

Knowing Trent he probably just wants to miss the International shite.

Not sure there has ever been a hamstring scan that said four days but - you can hope. Same with 4-6 months.
