Villa v Pool. 13:30

Enrique should be shot for that clearance. Almost cost the game

fullstop

He blows it up after exactly 3 mins after Henderson rolling on the ground for
a minute??

Nice one, 3 points away and no yellow for suarez. Now out for bank holiday sunday

Delighted with that. Wasn't expecting 3 points at all.

Hope Villa stay up though.

rolled around?? the villa player caught him on the knee and was lucky not to be given a red card.

FT 1-2

That was just about the least convincing win this calender year, but I'll take it. The half time talk did appear to make a difference with everyone a bit sharper and more decisive.
Villa certainly helped though, no real fight once they conceded

Should have been a red.

Shocking tackle.

Red all day long

Thank god it wasn't the other way around or all hell would break loose here.

It should have. But there should have been another 45 second added for it.

They won't though if that performance is anything to go by.

Happy enough with that after going behind.

Still feel our centre backs are our weakest area.

Be a shame to see Villa go down. They've got some very promising players but don't have the mentality yet. They were never getting back into that after the equaliser and if Suarez had his shooting boots on it would have been a lot worse.

Did we not come from behind against West Ham this season? (Sky saying first comeback since Dec 2011).

Think we went ahead in that game first though

Yorke : Benteke has been a revolution this season
Redknapp : I think Dwight has hit the nail on the head there.

We're among giants people.

TurtyTurd and fullstop, cut it out.

I did say promising.
A bit more experience and the addition of a couple of older heads and they would be well equipped for the top flight.

I think the stat was only referring to when we were behind at half time.

Afaik, we haven't won a game this season before today when the other team has scored the first goal. In the league.

Good away win after an international break. Always difficult.

Thought we were decent but not spectacular and our defensive frailties were all too clear again. Also we really need to look at our game plan going into the last 15 minutes when a goal up. We seem to do everything to let the other team back in it. Didn't keep the ball well enough in this period.

Also thought Suarez should've been subbed off for the last 10 or 15 for Sturridge, he looked dead on his feet.

Benteke is some player. He's only 22. Can't think of a better 'big man' in the Premier League. Apart from being incredibly strong he seems to have really quick feet and obviously knows where the goal is - 14 league goals in a relegation side is impressive.

Sky are really scraping the barrel for 'stats'.

Agreed, a totally stupid stat.

They are over reliant on them.

4 out of 3 people don't understand them any way.

I had to laugh at the whole not beating a top ten side when we had beaten West Ham who were in the top ten at the time we played them. Beat Swansea and the following week its a top 7 side, what a ridiculously arbitrary figure to choose. Beat Spurs and what now we haven't won against a top 2 side?
What was todays not coming back against a 1 nil deficit in the first half in the league. I wonder how often we were one nil down at half time since the last time we came back.
I wonder what the next damning stat will be that sky trot out.

OwaynOTT

Oh and the level of bull crap spoken by the commentary is staggering. 'Look at Paul Lambert with PL on his shirt, that's where he wants to be next year in the premier league.'
Guaranteed he got a big thumbs up from Alan Smith for that pure genius observation.

Also what is up with the thumbs up gestures from the Liverpool side. Rodgers, Downing, Suarez, Johnson and a few others today were at it all day. Never seen a side do it as much.

If you're so concerned with the stuff Sky say, why do you bother listening to them? They're irrelevant. Never understood why people have any kind of interest in pundits at all, or commentators for that matter. How do you guys manage when you go to games and have nobody to tell you what's happening?

I never claimed they were in anyway relevant but when your watching a game on tv their there so its very difficult to ignore when they say something shockingly stupid.
I don't watch the build up, half time or any of stuff.
If I was at a game and someone I was with said something stupid id discuss it with people who might have an interest or those that where there. Considering I wasn't at the game and the vast majority here weren't either and more than likely watched it on tv, I cant see why discussing what the commentators said gets treated with such disdain by yourself.
When I'm at a game Im all at sea obviously without someone telling me what's happening becuase thats what tv commentators do, ah no wait they dont really do that now do they? The really are just background noise and talk about the players.
Now a radio commentator describes what is happening all right.

To each other. I just never noticed a team to do it anywhere near as often as Liverpool. Also I might have been rambling.:pac:
