Aston Villa vs. Liverpool

Same teams, Sterling instead of Borini and Ibe instead of Gerrard.

PLEASE DO THIS BR

-------------Mignolet-------------
--------Can-Skrtel-Sakho--------
Markovic-Henderson-Lucas-Moreno
---------Coutinho-Sterling---------
--------------Borini-------------

Bench:Ward, Williams, José Enrique, Lallana, Lambert, Ibe, J. Manquillo

Liverpool XI vs. Aston Villa: Mignolet; Can, Skrtel, Sakho; Moreno, Lucas, Henderson, Markovic, Coutinho; Sterling, Borini.

ffs BR, Borini starts again.

I like the subs a lot.

Ward, Enrique, Lambert, Manquillo, Lallana, Ibe, Williams

Raheem in, Gerrard out

Probable Liverpool starting XI

-------------Mignolet-------------
--------Emre-Skrtel-Sakho--------
Markovic-Henderson-Lucas-Moreno
---------Coutinho-Raheem---------
--------------Borini-------------

seems like Balotelli injured Borini

Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Baker, Cissokho, Sanchez, Westwood, Delph, Cleverley, Agbonlahor, Benteke

Art, thoughts on the line up? Doesnt it look too cautious line up like just to frustrate us and not allow much space for Coutinho and Sterling

Williams who!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, @HMR what's with the bold thing????????????

their midfield, I have no idea who is the creative one in that midfield. For me all seem to be like tough EPL midfielders but lets see if they dominate the midfield.

I think that is Jordan Williams, the midfielder from academy...seems like BR is introducing them just to motivate the academy players, first Rossiter on the bench and now Williams

Decent first-half. Missed the goal. Raheem missed an easy one. Defense as usual gives jitters. Must put the game to bed by hour mark.

Well in Borini, he played well in the first half.

Were doing good so far but we need to score more to kill this game, sterling missed a siter, his brain's still in Jamaica.

Sahko has to be the most un-co person in the world, how his managed to become a footballer is beyond me, the fact that his actually good just trips me the *bleep* out. When he goes in for a tackle, you think his going to give away a foul every time, but then he does a near perfect challenge.

I think we are playing well. Our defenders are also defending good against Benteke and Agbonlahor (I needed 5 minutes to think and 2 minutes to type it ). Sterling is still on the beach, every now and they lying the grass there. Borini could have at least hit the target with the chance he had. Hendo as always making good runs and wonderful cross that was.

So I'm an authority on PL teams' line-ups now? x)

Yeah, you don't have to be me to tell that that midfield of Villa was put there to take space away in the middle of the park. Lambert has probably thought, perhaps rightly, that we don't use much width in this 3-4-3 and he's looked to flood the center. I wouldn't say it has exactly worked, although...


... it was a pretty even first-half. We're leading, though, and have the steering wheel. Should punish them again now that they are going to have to attack in the second-half.

Sterling's finishing is still abysmal at times. What a half-hearted chipped effort when clean through. Guzan saw it coming from Raheem's body and feet position all the way. I hope Sturridge would give Sterling some lessons in finishing.

seriously, true words about Sakho he looks like that cowboy from deep South of America bossing around on the Wall Street

True words by Mr69 indeed.

Sakho would probably be the most entertaining CB to watch in the PL - if he didn't play for us. Now he only makes the top-5.

Tbh, the move to the goal, did result because we could use the width because of Markovic. So are playing attacking wise really intelligent.

I think we are really mobile when Gerrard is not playing and I like it that no has got to hide under his shadow now !!

I don't know about mobile, we're creating so little. Villa are putting a lot of pressure on us right now (68th minute).

Villa suddenly with 12 attempts our midfield has disappeared again m no shock there for me

2-0 Lambert

We have two strikers
They both score the goals in the same match

I know

Lambert's goal was class, though, none of the LFC players on the pitch would have been capable of the same. Because that was a goalscorer's goal.

Okay 3 points, well in boys.

but let's just say if we vsed a team capable in front of goals we might of been 1-1 at one stage, but then again if we were capable we could of been 2-0 or 3-0 up.

A win is a win

My MOTM is Can. He's so good.

Mignolet made a couple of good saves. Not that he looked convincing throughout the game, but made a couple of good saves.

Lambert's goal was class. Right at the post.

Ibe looked like he's ready to play in this companion. Such a shame he's cup-tied.

Not a dominating performance, but those three points sure taste sweet

6 wins in the last 8 games. Good job Fraudgers with your awful 3-4-3...oops I forgot during these runs its only the players
