Liverpool too weak. Benteke is a beast but need to be dealing with him better, or if not him, the supply into him.

The goal was amazing though.

Liverpool getting openings on the break...but it's just 2 players up there.

Suarez in acres of space in the box and Johnson crosses one out to the back post instead of making the cut back. I just hate seeing that.
 
Yet another joke of a defensive performance against a strong, fast striker. Lucas has been absolutely woeful, and should have been booked. Suarez playing well, but back to last season's norm in terms of finishing. Coutinho bright again, should have had an assist.

I think suggestions that this is a repeat of the Sunderland performance, or of the last Villa game, are wide of the mark; generally its been quite even with both teams having their share of chances. Suarez doesn't seem to have his shooting boots on which has hurt Liverpool quite a lot.

The main problem for Liverpool is the physicality of Villa which they have no real answer for, everyone is getting pushed around. Its been a problem for a while now, hopefully as the game goes on players will tire and be less physical. Suarez is quite isolated up front, presumably Sturridge will come on sooner rather than later. Henderson, bizarrely, has looked less involved in the centre than he has when hes played on the left, he just seems to get the ball more often. Everytime he has been involved thus far has been good but I haven't seen enough of him.

The man in your avatar has been pretty good. As have Henderson and Gerrard.

It goes without saying Enrique is the perfect footballer :)

Henderson has been alright. He just hasn't seen enough of the ball.

We can't keep hold of the ball after defending an attack. We either try to counter straight away without enough numbers or the second ball from the clearance ends up going to a Villa player.

Why is it that nobody knows what are players names are or where they come from.

v QPR Match of the Day they said Bennett came from Chesterfield. He didn't.
Guardian think Westwood is our right back.
Redknapp just called Westwoof Ashley Williams.

Benteke is class, proper monster. Whoever gets him will improve tenfold. There's no way he's staying, even if Villa survive relegation. Villa aren't a bad team, though, they just make silly mistakes born out of inexperience.

Defensively we've been woeful. Far too fluid and its piss easy for Villa to get the ball and key players into dangerous areas.

Have a feeling Spurs will make a bid. He'd thrive at Dortmund as well if Lewa goes.
