Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Villa Park hosts the Champions



Adrian starts in goal for Liverpool in this evening’s Premier League encounter with Aston Villa.

A shoulder injury sustained in training has ruled Alisson Becker out of the contest, so the Spanish ‘keeper deputises at Villa Park.

Diogo Jota begins in attack in the absence of Sadio Mane, while Jordan Henderson is named among the substitutes.

Starting XI: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita, Jota, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Henderson, Jones, Minamino, Origi, N. Williams.

What injury does Alisson have anyway!?
Good luck Adrian.
Everyone else as expected.
CMON BOYS!!!!!!

Shoulder

I just want the three points and move on. It is the result that is essential!

Shoulder

Without stating the obvious  that is a bad one for a GK just hope the two week rest is enough

CORY

10 days will probably do it.

Hopefully so

Gutted about Ali, good to have Hendo available again.

Just get the 3 points and we can get some players back after the break

Shoulder

Cheers, I prob should have read the OP !

Good luck to Jota too, getting his chance in first XI earlier than expected.

Shoulder is a nasty one as Mo will attest to.

Landed on my shoulder last year during preseason and was told it was a grade 1 ligament tear. Still struggle with certain movements/exercises. Thankfully Alisson has the benefit of slightly better medical care.

10 days will probably do it.

Hoping he will stay in UK now and not leave for Brazil squad.

It’s a good enough starting lineup. Everyone knows what they’re supposed to do. Even for our new guy, he’s familiar with pressing. We can win this.

So that’s:

Alisson
Matip
Tsimikas
Hendo
Ox
Thiago
Mane

All out of action. An early test of our squad depth.

Bench looking a little bit light and this is obviously why. Good to have Hendo back at least.

Yep I did mine at Cricket couldnt throw the same after which was fine so dossed in the slips

Come on red you Tez? 😁

Excited

Two captains on the bench.
Still a very capable bench.

Just come on(not menstrually) noticed  Ali missing is it his shoulder ? Heard he hurt it in training, good test is this, Villa stronger than last season but then we are too, except we are without Mane & Ali, kind of gives them a wee mental boost, but they will need more than that to get the better of us,

We will miss Mane and the threat he provides but I’m looking forward to seeing Jota in a role he’s not unfamiliar with, like Robbo, I think he’s better than we think + Jürgen will get more out of him playing in his system, anyhoo, this is not a easy match by any stretch and Villa will test us no doubt about that whatsoever, which is making me a bit nervy if I’m honest,

Last season they parked the bus if I remember and we’re missing a couple of key players, so be interesting if they come out and play tonight, I hope they do, we could see a goal fest if they do.



1-2 Champions





Mon Redmen  !

Three points please, thank you.

Holy brittle Alisson batman!

Still a very capable bench.

As I said good to have Hendo back for sure.

On the plus side, Ali won’t be involved in internationals!
Nor Sadio, Still pretty confident of three points, as long as we all do what we go best.
They’ll park the bus I expect, but we can muster an early strike, they will be chasing it and we can cut them down 😊👍🏻 Come on you mighty red men !

Hoping he will stay in UK now and not leave for Brazil squad.

Me thinks that might have been the “plan”.

The price paid to keep him from the Brazil squad is to not play him against Villa.
