Aston Villa v Liverpool FC - Premier League - Tue 10 May @ 20:00

[Gethin]

Onwards, gotta keep plugging away and hope we get Schröedinger's Villa - s***e against us, boss against City.

[Case]

The trickiest team selection of the lot.

 

Milner, Tsimi, Joe, Matip, Curtis, maybe Divock all start, surely…

[Cam]

Don't draw again, don't lose, just go back to doing that winning thing. That has to be the main tactic. 

[Dan]

Get Bobby on the pitch please.

And replace him with Origi when he gets a bit tired 

[Bogman]

Chelsea play a day later, and they are in a precarious position as we sit here now.

They can’t go easy neither.

Yeah, would be great to have the option of his availability ahead of the FA Cup Final and Champions League Final

I think he was close yesterday wasn’t he? Reckon he’s on the bench Tuesday.

Yes would like to think so. There was a proper genuine debate about which 3 of the 5 started against City away after Bobby came back and scored away at Arsenal in the league and then went on to get 2 against Benfica. Without him its 3 from 4 and Jota is ranking 4th at the moment probably, which is strange to say given his goals earlier in the season.

Would be beneficial to have all 5 available - even if there is not competitive tension, at least allow for more subs to reduce minutes on other players.

Boss last time we went there, same again Tuesday.

3-3 after being 3 up at half time chasing goal difference?

Salah in tears at the end, Henderson pushing the camera away, Salah turns up at the World Cup and bites Garth Crooks.

I hope Gerrard picks those kids we battered in the cup

Empty, we didn't go

[Gerrardrules]

I think he will go with:

Alli, Gomez, Matip, Virgil, Kostas, Hendo, Keita, Milner, Salah, Origi, Jota

[Ripley]

As mentioned already elsewhere, Heeeeeeres Jonny!!  (Moss, that is)

When the f*** is he retiring ? 

Why can't we have that Aussie ref who explains his decisions and behaves like a professional ref, not some jobsworth traffic warden

[Ripley]

Jared Gillett and the other newly promoted refs (Salisbury, England, Brooks) have all had a gentle intro to the PL. Not sure we’d get Gillett as he’s doing/done his doctorate at John Moores. Brooks is VAR for Villa.

Can see us going full strength, as we should , City could easily drop points away at West Ham or Wolves

totally

 

this end to the season is why we've not been going at full tilt in matches since January. Sure we've been winning but we've not been doing it pedal to the metal for 90 mins every match. Energy has been conserved. It's time to bring that to the fore and unleash hell.

wouldnt mind a 7-2 for us this time

We need to be going strong and trying to rack up a few goals. Suspect they'll be bang up for it too. No way Stevie would want any kind of accusations about them not being prepared/motivated enough given his personal ties.
