Topic: Half time: Liverpool 0-1 Aston Villa

[TheShanklyGates]

Bit of a reality check so far against the first decent side we've played since Arsenal. We're really struggling to create anything and the old defensive frailties are there for all to see.

We'll need to up our level massively in the second half if we're going to get anything from this.

At least Everton are losing

[Caligula?]

Wow, we've been absolutely rubbish. It doesn't look like we're chasing anything

[stevieG786]

How that isn’t a fucking red I’ll never know

[MJD-L4]

Haven't turned up.

[Gazza-LFC]

We've been rubbish. The refereeing has been worse.

[kennedy81]

getting fucking robbed here.

[Wool]

We’ve been shite but the officiating has been far worse. Mings should be off and we should have had a pen.

Not sure what Jota’s done to lose his place in the team.

[jckliew]

Sterile attacks. Don't think Martinez had a save to make.

[Chakan]

Utter bullshit the way we’ve been treated. So tired of playing against 12 men every single game.

We really need to get our final 3rd play better though.

[Clint Eastwood]

That half really boiled my piss.

That's a red. If he hit his knee it would be a red, so why not his sternum?

That's a penalty too.

We were terrible for 40 minutes to be fair, front three need a kick up the arse.

[Seebab]

They have bypassed our midfield so easily time and time again. Villa are set up well.

[TheShanklyGates]

How that isn’t a fucking red I’ll never know

Same way Jota's against Spurs wasn't I guess. I await a similar week long inquest in the media about this decision.

[Samie]

We've been shit but we've got a shit fuckin' ref AGAIN.

[DelTrotter]

Fucking sickening from the officials yet again but that's completely normal in our games. Would be nice if one of these "inept" officials gave us a decision one day.

We've been woeful mind, having no midfield is a bit of a killer. Not massively convinced about this attack either, hopefully there's posts laughing at me at full time!

[PeterTheRed ...]

The sooner we join the European Super League, the better ...

[shank94]

This ref is on drugs

[Adam_LFC]

We’ve been bad but this is the worst refereeing I’ve seen all season.

[Funky_Gibbons]

Villa playing through our press too easily except for once.

Looked toothless up front.

[kloppismydad]

If this wasn't a red, then not sure how can anyone expect a red for the foul on Gapko.

Same way Jota's against Spurs wasn't I guess. I await a similar week long inquest in the media about this decision.

Agreed.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Much better last 10 minutes after an appalling first 30.

A certain red card and probably a penalty not given.

63% possession but only 6 free kicks to their 10. Every game the same trend.

[Clint Eastwood]

We’ve been shite but the officiating has been far worse. Mings should be off and we should have had a pen.

Not sure what Jota’s done to lose his place in the team.

And who gets his head on the ball just in time to prevent Salah scoring from the resultant free-kick? Mings

[gemofabird]

How that isn’t a fucking red I’ll never know

We had one with Jota that didn't see red, so fair enough a suppose

[Fromola]

Wow, we've been absolutely rubbish. It doesn't look like we're chasing anything

Thursday night was the last hope realistically. Villa desperate for Europe, we're pretty much finishing 5th.

We're not getting anything from refs after Klopp went for Tierney.

[Coolie High]

They have bypassed our midfield so easily time and time again. Villa are set up well.

We still lack a huge physical presence in there.

[rocco]

Villa defending very well to be fair

[RyanBabel19]

Poor from everyone except Alisson

How that isn’t a red I dont know, love to know what bit of the ball the villa player kicking henderson got

[Kopenhagen]

Another corrupt refereeing performance by this gang of idiots.

Ramsey is a fucking rat.

[RedSamba]

How that isn’t a fucking red I’ll never know

same way it wasn't a red for Jota the other day

[Andy82lfc]

Haven’t been great but another VAR gives mings a red and Hendo a pen.

Must be that luck of the draw thing again, also see ‘it’s all evens itself out’ etc, etc.

[[new username under construction]]

There comes a point where the fans have to do something about the Ref's in this country, the FA and PL will never do anything

[Agent99]

Looks like the pressure has got to us a bit today. Ref is another absolute cockhead though.

[red mongoose]

Load of fucking shite from Brooks, the stupid bent c*nt.

We'll have these in the second half. Fuck Villa. Up the Mighty Reds.

[RyanBabel19]

Emery extremely underrated tactically

[DonkeyWan]

refs have been punishing Liverpool since the Klopp incident.

[The Test]

If this wasn't a red, then not sure how can anyone expect a red for the foul on Gapko.



Agreed.

Mings was last man.

[Clint Eastwood]

Another corrupt refereeing performance by this gang of idiots.

Ramsey is a fucking rat.

Weird celebration. Who the fuck is he?

[Schmidt]

Livarpool.

[lgvkarlos]

Mings has to go, lots of huf and puf at the end but 2nd best for the rest.
Really not sure why our players think slow obvious passing is going to break down a decent team.

[CornerFlag]

We're like we're playing in treacle, there's no real zip nor end product with this.

Oh, and massively going to go against the grain, but I think a yellow card was just about the right decision in all honesty.  After the touch Mings got on the ball you could see the leg retract, as it looked from the ARE anyway. I'd have been annoyed if it was a red roles reversed.

Some of the other decisions have been shitty though, thought the Hendo penalty was nailed on, he took the standing leg out.

[Paisley79]

Week after week after week, the threshold for it to be considered a foul on one of ours is so much higher than for the opposition
