[blue whippet]

Dilithium crystals do have effect

If only the defence could switch to warp speed.

Showed a lot of character to come back from 2 down, and could’ve have had it won but for Zouma having the game of his life.
Terrible decision letting Mahrez take the pen, too obvious where he was going to put it, and ballsed it up in a big game against Liverpool. Why didn’t Kev grab hold of it? Always found ot strange that he’s not out Penalty taker.

on another note has Taylor ever given us a penalty without going to var?

 

[The perfect fumble]

I watch the Lpool/ Villa game and Villa looked shocking. Get our A game going and we will be fine.

This.

Villa were awful, that's not through blue tinted specs, they were poor, very poor, in all departments.

In truth Liverpool weren't much better.

Ake. If he's warning up, he is fit enough to play.

I also think Walker might chuck himself in like Stones did against Real ;)

Watkins' pace up against Fern, Laporte and Zin, is not something I want to see.

I hadn't realised Villa are playing Thursday night?

That's a big advantage now.

Salad, Robertson and Van Dijk won't be risked against Southampton, not with twinges after yesterday.

Reckon both Salah and VVD play vs Southampton.......they have a chance to put us back under pressure...klopp said both injuries were not serious

Wouldn't rule out one or two back for Villa. Pep is a WUM.

 

[Pedestrian]

You said “we needed Foden”. Grealish and Jesus were our biggest threats in the second half, taking them off would have been daft and Foden has almost never played as a RW for us. If we were crying out for anyone as you suggest, it was Dias and Walker. Sadly they weren’t available.

If you don’t think we needed subs in that game then we’re done debating.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

It was a fucking shocker

No it wasn't. Fabianski guessed correctly. That's right - guessed.

 

[BolinCell]

Hopefully everyone has calmed down a bit.

Beat Villa and we win the league.

lets hope we don't allow Gerard a get out of jail free card for that slip.

 

[hilts]

Wow so you think it was a good penalty?

There is a huge bit in the middle from a great penalty to a really terrible one.

Calling it a fucking shocker is hyperbole from yourself borne out of frustration.

Kev missed a vital pen vs Liverpool last season and he has said that he isn't that confident in taking penalties. For the rest of this season we don't have a 100% reliable penalty taker.
