Aston Villa v Liverpool Official Match Thread | Saturday, 24th August | KO: 17:30 |

Villa are a sleeping giant at the moment. Can see them storming the 2nd half.

 

Lol, crosses, corners, anything in the air and it's cover your eyes, squeeze everything time.

 

How can Gerrard be offside from there! Looking across the line, he should be able to stay on.

 

Goal before half time lads, kill 'em off

 

Lucas trying to take a man on there... 1 minute till half time, just knock it down the line

 

Final 10 minutes were a bit rough. Villa have done well shutting down the front three, apart from the goal they've all been a bit quiet.

 

Not the greatest game in the world but were 1-0 up and winning the possession game so can't complain.

PS...watching it in Russian

 

Scared of another yellow card for Aspas Rodgers should replace him.

 

Can all next week in training be spent defending set pieces please?
Papa/Sahko/someone big and strong as soon as possible please.

 

First 40 minutes were good, very controlled.

Enrique looks up for it.

 

Liverpool contained them very well.

 

Aspas very quiet today.

 

Found the Sky sports channel

 

on the club site they have a graffic shoowing each players average position.

Aspas is just behind Sturridge like a second striker, Coutinho is slightly left of Aspas and Henderson is out wide on the right.

Toure and Benteke's tags are in the same place. Marking tight!

 

"339 - Liverpool have completed more passes in the first half of this game than 17 teams have in a full 90 mins in the PL in 2013/14. Groove."

BR will be happy

 

Does Hyppia have any kids? How old are they now?

 

Not at half time. See how the game progresses.

Get Sterling or Borini on later if the concern is still present.

 

First half to Liverpool. No contest. But if Villa gets the next goal, they'll win the match.

 

Havent seen much from him yet, but hoping he will have an impact in the second half.

 

Pervert .
