Liverpool 1 - 3 Aston Villa

On paper Liverpool should win this what with the­ quality ion their line-up. Yet Liverpool, this­ season have looked at times like they are flying then­ they come back down to earth with the kind of result­ they had at Southampton and West Brom before that.­ Progress is like that sometimes. Also Villa won at­ Anfield and are fighting for the PL lives. However,­ if Liverpool give it 110% they should prevail otherwise­ a draw or defeat is a more likely result. 3-1­ Liverpool my prediction.

reina is bad change or sell him

..... And I don't think Rodgers can do that. As­ "Neville" #193 wrote: He just makes excuses­ week after week.

A work colleague remarked that if we carry on churning­ out **** results like this, our star players - Gerrard,­ Suarez - will soon get itchy feet. I think he's­ right. WE DESPERATELY NEED TO TURN THIS INDIFFERENT­ SPELL AROUND.

I was shocked by this result especially when you look­ at the team sheets and Liverpools quality players. ­ It would be interesting to know where the Reds would be­ right now in the table if Kenny wasn't given the­ premature sack? But Rogers needs time to work with the­ team and complete his work which like anything wont be­ without the occasional setback. I did though feel­ some of his pre match comments could have been more­ positive and believing when he said that it would be a­ close match and praised the Villa manager and his team.­ Perhaps Brendan should have praised the Villa manager­ but concluded something like, 'However I am ­ confident about my teams quality and the advantage we­ have playing at home at Anfield.' I just­ worried that Rogers didn't do enough in the pre­ match build up to give his team the best vision and­ belief going into the match.

When rodgers used that envelope trick, i am sure the­ envelopes all had his name in them because he has let­ us down with all th erubbish players he has bought­ none have done anything positive for us. playing­ downing at left back, keeping suso and wisdom on the­ bench, we need quality players in to improve the squad­ but Brendo is looking at average players in january,­ sturridge and Ince , cmon sturridge can't get into­ Chelsea squad and ince would be another borini moment, ­ our scouts are no good either if these are players we­ are getting. Brendon­ said we would fall in love with Allen & Borini, i­ can't see that happening. We where around eighth­ position with Kenny last season, Allen was supposed to­ be like a spanish type player i cannot see where Brendo­ saw that comparison. I have lost faith in him already.­ i would rather we played like Villa and get the 3pts­ than dominating play and come away with nothing. we­ need quality players not average let sturridge stay at­ Chelsea and find someone like Ba, Michu or Benteke.­ Rodgers if you can't then you r not what we need if­ you cannot bring in quality let us find someone who can­ without making excuses every week.

Roy Hodgson looks good now !!!!!!! HOLTENDER

Hmmm. That Roy Evans. Only second or third in the­ league. Let's humiliate him by having him make the­ tea for the frenchman. that should bring back the glory­ days. Let's spend some more money on players that­ the next manager doesn't want. And now the only man­ from Valencia who doesn't know how to smile.­ let's give him even more money. After all "he­ won the euro cup" [didn't stevie g play a­ small part?] Oh dear, now we are lower down the table­ than we were with roy evans. tell you what - we'll­ go backwards and spend 35m on a player and then not­ give him the service that his particular talents­ require. Better get shot of him then and play with one­ striker and hope he doesn't get injured or­ suspended. That man knows his onions - we'll give­ him to WBA. What on earth are they doing? Maybe they­ should put Paul Merton in charge. He has a good brain­ and a sense of humour - couldn't do worse. How­ about some primary school kids to liven up the­ directors' meetings. I despaIr. Robbie said he­ would jog back from singapore to be in the squad. How­ many of the current squad feel like that? Stevie and­ Jamie and the tea lady - don't know any more.

aiming for a possible top two? the man should keep­ quiet and concentrate on keeping his job.

everyone criticizes man united for poor defending,­ liverpool's defense is #$%$ full stop

12th in the league, 7 pts above relegation., its not­ hard to predict this kind of outcome, judging by our­ very 1st game this season against wba.

We are so negative in midfield with Joe allen the main­ culprit. We have no cutting edge and will always have­ no chance against a team like Villa who were well­ prepped for the game. They have a power house striker­ and a young, fast and positive midfield. Why are we­ continually playing this system WHICH is not proven, it­ only proves at the moment that it DOESN'T work, yes­ we dominate possession regular but what do we gain from­ it. I still hope Brendan will turn us around, but at­ the moment is he a clever manager who needs another­ midfielder and a striker to put us right or is he just­ a power mad clown who really believes what hes doing is­ right whilst all the stats say he actually is not­ right. By the way Brendan get rid of Allen, he would­ not have got in Swansea's team this season- FACT.

Lets talk da truth always games and lucky are going the­ same, for more that twelve games played by­ LFC,,,,,,,,,, while leinar is in, LFC going to lose.

dont worry...they have Norman Wisdom as a­ substitute....he might play next week.

Rodgers is a great improvment on Kenny .... LFC is­ flying and looking like a small club a.. Utd fans dream

Everton used to be a big club in English football too!

What happened guys, you were just starting to make­ progress :( . Where were Villa before this, about­ 16th?

lets be real we should be scoring goals from m/field­ not just up front,everybody goes on about the fact we­ only have one forward,having 29 goal attempts and only­ 8 on target is not good enough the midfield have to­ bare the blame for this we need a lampard plain and­ simple

I couldn't believe BR's midweek comments about­ finishing 2nd this season. Why put your head on the­ block. I honestly can't see Liverpool finishing in­ the top half of the table. Nightmare result today.

May be we can still cnontinue to compare ourselves with­ United since we aonly 20 points behind them
