Senderos must be wearing an invisibility cloak today.

Lallana is nothing bar a nearly out of fashion haircut

Again

Villain

Villa doing to Mario what pool did to him when he was at City, I wonder has he matured to deal with it

Patser

Villa currently 2nd in table!!

I'll enjoy the next 30 seconds I've just jinxed.

5starpool

It's all very static from Liverpool. No space available with Villa playing so deep as well.

artanevilla

Cleverley has been quiet enough. I can see Sanchez coming on for him in the early 2nd depending on how things are going.

Utopia Parkway

Villa looking like they are sitting in for the afternoon and will look to spring Agbonlahor and Weimann on the counter.

Vicxas

Lambert must have found out there's a new park the bus button option in Fifa

djPSB

Diamond and Sterling.

This is chronic.

martyos121

Henderson is providing all the class so far.

I am pie

getting closer

Good block from Senderos. Think that might have been going in.

hadepsx

That's more like lads.build the pressure.can't keep it out forever

Even if it was on target, not enough power I'd say.

Utopia Parkway

Ballotelli getting some treatment. Bit high from Hutton there.

Ref is fcking terrible

dogbert27

If it stays the same at half time I see Sterling coming on for Markovic

Keeper was on the ground. Think it would have sneaked in the far corner. Would need to see a replay from behind though.

niallo27

Where is the goal coming from. It's all aimless at the moment.

hadepsx

Balo gonna have to get used to this treatment. Every club in the land is gonna dish this unsportsmanlike treatment on him.

Harry Palmr

I'd deffo throw on Lambert and remove one of Lallana/Coutinho/Markovic and switch formation. Then Sterling on for the 2nd half.

5starpool

Corner = automatic goal chance for Villa. At least we are a goal better off than in this fixture in January anyhow.

super_furry

I know the trip too and from Brazil during the week can't have helped but Coutinho's been an absolute pasinger.

Bounty Hunter

Think this is one of those games where I worry about the effect half time could have, from a villa POV I don't want a half time to let Rodgers get his lads reorganized and motivated while villa most likely would come out extra defensive

One up top not working. Surprise surprise

Hangballlouie

This is really poor. No penetration, very lethargic. We need something to happen to create a spark cos this half has just went along at a pace that suits villa.

stiffler123

Can't see Liverpool getting a positive result here without Sterling.

Vicxas

No fluidity so far, nobody making runs or anything.

Patser

I remember when Villa were terrible at corners. Couldn't defend them and never did anything with the ones they got.

Seems like only last season....

A-Train

Liverpool are terrible today so far, don't look like scoring at all! System not working at all, really really aimless so far.

razorblunt

Coutinho has been muck, walking around with the ball. They all need a serious kick up the hole at half time.

martyos121

Has Markovic done anything but give the ball away so far?

klose

Fairly disjointed performance so far, plenty time to turn it around though

Anytime he has the ball there's 3 lads around him

Massively overrated player for me, great to watch but not that effective and wouldn't make my first choice 11 and probably wouldn't make Brendan's either.

delw

Very poor show from liverpool so far,really lacking up front,Balo getting a rough time up on his own

Patser

Villa stringing lovely 4 pass movements together, pity they always try a 5th.

artanevilla

Parking the bus? 6-4 in shots. 2-6 in corners and possession 60-40 which is fine for home v away.

Harry Palmr

Villa have done very well to smother Liverpool, its going to take it own toll mind you as energy levels start to sag in the later stages.

He is the new Jamie Carragher so!!

martyos121

Class defending from Villa. We won't score unless it's from a set piece or penalty.

daRobot

Well that was depressing.

niallo27

Worst half of football at anfield since hodgson.

super_furry

Poor performance from Liverpool. One up front isn't working at all and the midfield hasn't offered nearly enough.

Utopia Parkway

Ugh that was a probable tap in for Markovic there.

Villa defenders getting blocks in has saved them 2 goals.
