Utopia Parkway

FFS Naby. Any decent contact and it’s a goal. Complete air kick.

Charlie19

That ball should've been played out wide to Timmy.

eigrod

Ah ffs Naby

Fromvert

Ah Naby!

Vicxas

Naby, my WORD. What were you at!?!?!!

martyos121

Had enough time to take a touch there and then hit it, did Naby.

Ken Tucky

Keita ffs...Sunday league stuff

Charlie19

My stream is so behind:)

~Rebel~

Oof, Naby!

Still, hard to be too harsh when he created the chance himself with his dribbling just before.

Trent’s final ball is back on tonight thankfully after it went missing for an hour and a half on Saturday.

citytillidie

Ref is being influenced now by the home fans because he has been bad with his decisions for both teams

SM01

True, but to me it looks ominous. Just based on my own personal experience of multiple grade 1 tears (my best guess from the sidelines), I'd be incredibly surprised if we are him play again for a couple of weeks. And if he did appear again before then I'd be anxious he'd aggravate it.

martyos121

That going off and then being beckoned back on the pitch by the ref has to be the most ridiculous rule in football, and there are a few of those to be fair.

Utopia Parkway

Diaz getting booed for getting an elbow in the mush.

Ikozma

Trebt is awful yet again tonight

rob316

Awful game, lads know the title is gone, real end of season feel to this.

His jaw could’ve fractured Digne’s elbow, very dangerous play from Diaz.

martyos121

Jones really doesn’t strike me as a “Klopp player”.

This is brutal stuff. Has Jones shown any signs of development this year?

Ken Tucky

Such a scrappy match..really could go either way

Playing a little better as the half goes on. Have to say I'm bricking it when one of our lads goes down...

machiavellianme

Diaz has some control.

That is all.

mightyreds

Villa not great, could have put up a score on them but the match Saturday has put a halt to that

martyos121

Klopp won the race to the dressing room, bodes well for the second half.

eigrod

clumsy best describes much of that half and that includes the officials. I think a lot of ours are minding themselves for cup finals

~Rebel~

Much like a lot of our away first halves this season to be honest. It's always the second half we step up away from home, so not feeling too bad about it.

amber69

Should be 2-1 up. Kieta missed a sitter

theoneeyedman

We got this.

Much more stable since Henderson came on, created a few chances.

Just need to put some of them away.

Ya he's developed the amount of wild shots he takes per game. I'd rather we were playing Harvey instead of him.

Don't think Jones is going to make it.

I don’t understand what’s going on with Elliott, there has to be something keeping him out of the team apart from his footballing quality, because he’d have racked up a decent amount of appearances since returning from injury if everything was well with him.

Infoseeker1975

Jones is good but not good enough for this Liverpool team. If you put Thiago and Salah on for Jones & Jota around the hour mark, assuming it is still 1-1 then we are far more likely to win this game, fingers crossed re Fab that he is at least available for CL final and that it was a tweak and nothing else.

martyos121

The game has gone mad:

Man Vs ManUre

I don’t think Curtis is up to our standards, at least not for the starting 11. I think I am right in saying, whenever he starts we are fairly average at best. Let’s hope Fabinho is not out for long.

Was a fairly horrible injury... I'd say it's taking time to get over the niggles. Might even be some psychological effects from it too, being a bit afraid to trust it fully. I mean, feck, his foot was facing the wrong direction, it's bound to be very hard to get beyond the PTSD of something like that even.

For Jones... he's obviously a very good footballer, I'd be reluctant to write off a fella at 21 years old. Could do with a year out on loan to play regularly though, and get more match experience in tougher grittier situations. Who knows if he'll make it at Liverpool, probably not, since most don't. Plenty of quality there though, which just needs to be polished with experience. 21 is just so bloody young, i think we lose sight of that a bit since he's been around for so long, with expectations just being waaaaay too high.

I’ve always been optimistic about Curtis Jones and a supporter of him getting games, but the fact that he still isn’t improving his biggest weaknesses or learning from the same mistakes makes me worry for his future at the club.

Hendo telling TAA to use his **** head.

Yeah that's why I mention a loan... he's just never had any sort of real run at senior football, and that's where real development comes in. A year or two out on loan playing every week will produce a completely different player - whether he's ever good enough to be a Liverpool regular, who knows, but it's hard to judge much before he's actually gotten enough proper real game experience into his bones.

As an example - Harry Wilson has developed hugely since leaving for his loans. Looked to be stagnating with us at the same age as Jones, but is now a proper player that impacts games throughout. Not good enough for us still, but it shows how much more development there is to come from playing regularly in your early 20s. Same with Ryan Kent.

SM01

Bobby doesn't seem to be getting a look-in these days.

theoneeyedman

These Villa lads are going to hurt somebody, likes of McGinn and Konsa, Douglas just jumping into lads and being reckless.

Agent Coulson

He's been injured for pretty much the last two months this is his first game back.

martyos121

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119043367#Comment_119043367

Only just back from a foot injury, most he could be fit for is the bench still I’d imagine.

Bobby has been put for a few weeks with a foot injury. This is his first game back.

If Jones goes on loan at this stage he's never coming back. He may be 21 but he has over 50 appearances for the senior team now. There's nothing for him to gain from a loan other than establishing himself at another club that he'll ultimately end up joining permanently.

bdmc16

We pass and pass the ball around slowly edging into opposite 1/3 and the build is so slow and space is so tight we constantly giving the ball away with sloppy passes . Villa literally getting into better positions in fraction of the time on the break.

Trent seems to have reverted to his covid no fans in stadium form where he’s just relentlessly giving up possession. It’s very frustrating - don’t look like scoring at all.

Konsa was the one who let out a big scream when nothing happened to him as well

martyos121

Doesn’t look like Mo’s coming on tonight, still sat on the bench not warming up.

eigrod

Frustrating. Can’t get any rhythm going at all. Game is full of niggly fouls, slow set pieces and stupid officiating

martyos121

Not convinced that Thiago works well off the bench.

awec

Beautiful goal. Diaz is some signing, lovely ball in.

Thank **** for that.
