No.

Well you dont know what you're talking about so why are you trying to tell us how negative we've been?

We have absolutely dominated Villa all match(well until the goal anyway). They got their first from a defensive error and the second was an own goal from a Mellberg cross which went in off Aurelio's hand(maybe Arbeloa). Villa didnt have a look in the first 70 minutes, we just couldnt put it in the net. Far from negative.

Crowd must have sung themselves out in the first half:(

That was crazy, he left Babel standing. Never seen anyone do that to him before.

Crouchy 2-2

GET IN!!!!!!!!!

dc69

crouch,get in

Mental Mickey

Maybe not in this particular match, but at other times when I've watched them this season, they have been excrutiatingly boring to watch. Honestly, if Rafa doesn't make a serious attempt at winning the league soon, he'll be out the door.

Guy:Incognito

Crouchinho.

All about the lay off from Carra.:D

Have to say though, poor far post defending from Larsson( or Mellberg?) the ball never should have gotten as far as Carra.

emc2

peter you beauty.....now lets win this!

Chardee MacDennis

crouch.... thank you!!!

god dammit, my fantasy football is ruined as well; reina, carra and Laursen all in my team, sigh....

PHB

Crouch gets the goal, nice goal!

Jazzy, I gotta stop predicting that Liverpool could pull it back :P

Surprisingly poor from Laursen.

BrookieD

Come on Crouhcy. please one more.

Chong

The big man saves ye .

oobydooby

crouchie vindicated! Come on, another one!

Brando_ie

Great finish by Crouch

Melion

What a finish, great goal.

Now, lets get the winner

Unearthly

Nice finish that

Well we have been brilliant tonight apart from a mad 10 minutes so at least watch the game before you start talking about it.

If you read my last post again, you'll see that I wasn't talking about this match in particular. I meant in some previous matches we have been awful to look at, and that's down to the manager.

Also, we really should be beating teams like Villa if we have aspirations of winning the title.

Melion

Skrtel has looked good in his run-out tonight.

Chelsea couldnt beat them a few weeks ago

You'll get an assist for Carra tough.

indeed,was just about to say that

PHB

Villa really threw that game away, I'd said O'Neill is fairly pissed off. Liverpool let them get back into that game, they utterly dominated them in the first half but didn't do anything to put that domination into goals, infact they didn't even put that domination into decent chances.

Dave!

He looked like he was going to kill someone for tackling him at one stage....he could be a great signing.

That's down to the manager's tactics.

only one team threw that away

If we keep going the we we are we'll be lucky to make 6th, and that is a serious assessment.

Shocking the way we cant close out games. We are miles away from the top 2!

sweetie

just. not. good. enough.

Brando_ie

Mascherano really does wear his heart on his sleeve when playing for us. It would be a backward step not to secure his services. Players of his age and caliber are few and far between

Poor result but somewhat of a relief in the end. Will have to look to the off-field mayhem for some solace.

oobydooby

Misery. Im afraid I'll have to join the realists now and admit that we won't win the English league this year. Next year is our last chance to keep up our record of winning the title every decade since the 1950s...

Kudos to Martin O'Neill, he's done well with Villa. Hope someone will upload some phone footage of the chants early on. More misery...

Exactly. We're just not clinical enough. Too many average players. And - I'm afraid to say - an average manager.

The worst thing to happen to Benitez - in my opinion - was winning the Chumpions League in his first season in charge. The guy thinks he's invincible.

Masch was outstanding tonight!

Guy:Incognito

At least we have a banker on Saturday. We should play 2-4-4 and give them a hammering. Dont reallly like that sort of thing against a small club but **** it, it mite wake everyone up.

Tusky

Bitterly disappointed. Villa very lucky to get anything out of that game. What a horrible two & a half minutes.

your an idiot,the man has won the fa cup,the championsleague,got to another champions league final and when he came he was left a shocking team and has constantly been rebuilding,you can only do so much if your lacking quality

PHB

You gave Luton a hammering but it didn't make much difference for today.

Four interesting and tough games coming up

West Ham Away
Sunderland Home
Chelsea Away
Inter Home

West Ham are flying high and will be tough at home, and Sunderland I think is likely to suffer from a weakened squad, in order to be prepared for Chelsea then Inter.

very interesting Gerrard interview.

So a fan who'd perfer we didn't win things and that doesn't watch us play. I can believe that you'd call Rafa average...that my friend is a joke.

I'm an idiot?? Nice grown up remark there. :rolleyes:. Thanks. At the start of his time in charge, he was able to realise when he'd bought in s***e players(Pellegrino), and got rid of them quickly. Lately he's brought in some rubbish(Kuyt to name but one), and doesn't realise it.

Didn't Steve Heighway and Paco Ayesteran both leave over disagreements about the way Rafa was running the club?
