Don't see anything special with them to be honest , average but only average

Should be a good game hopefully, but I'm nervous about our soft centre vs Benteke.

Ronan Raver77 · 24-08-2013 5:24pm

Villa lined up for an attacking game...could be a 4-3 lads to the Villa of course..Delph hopefully has gotten over his over enthuastic challenges and is stepping up a gear.The clips of him at the Arsenal and Chelsea games showed this and he is still young..

Stevie G should grab a goal i reckon* money back on first goal scorer if he does with paddy power. Have a tener on Beast Benteke first goal scorer 11/2

mon villa

If Villa maintain their performances from the first 2 matches they'll have a strong chance of the 3 points.

I predict a high intensity game.

Should be very intense alright. Can see Liverpool getting an early goal though, given our penchant for making work for ourselves... though maybe that's Lambert's plan. Instead of conceding late on, we'll do it in the first 10 minutes and get it over with :P

please Pool.

I don't think I could bear next week in the superthread if we lose.

Have to agree with you there. Westwood in particular I think is a very tidy player. Has a very understated style of play that possibly causes him to be overlooked by some. Very good at keeping things ticking over, and very clever distributer of the ball.

Quite like the way he draws players towards him when on the ball, and then places the ball into the space vacated by the oncoming players so that runners have a clear channel to attack from. Not comparing him in terms of quality, but how he does that is very similar to how Alonso used to create space for himself/teammates when at Liverpool.

Another bad simple pass from Gerrard, noticed a couple last week.

Turtyturd · 24-08-2013 5:36pm

Aspas took the wrong option...but Gerrard had no right to blame him for that.

Kess73 · 24-08-2013 5:38pm

confident start from Liverpool

mike65 · 24-08-2013 5:39pm

He had Lucas square 10 yards away!

they'll have a LOT of the ball in this game. Villa had less than 40% possession against arsenal and chelsea. suits the counter attacking, but far from ideal. someone like city will murder us
