It was like the Alamo in the second half.
Liverpool battered them
Correct it was. Fail to see what more the guys could have done out there today.
Must have watched a different game to some.
Hit the target maybe?
We played good football in the second but Villa had 10 men behind the ball, something that always flatters the attacking side's stats. Given was actually tested twice (the second being to bat away a ricochet off the post), and we scored one. 3 useful shots in 90 minutes? That simply isn't good enough against relegation strugglers at home. We had 2 penalties waved away, true, but if you're good enough to get into such positions you should be good enough to repeat it unless it was luck that got you there the first time.
Quite frankly the main reason we posed a threat was because Gerrard moved out of the middle, though his free kick delivery was no better than Adam's. I think we have a confidence and coaching crisis (quite apart from a team selection and strategy crisis - once again 4-4-2 was proven as the correct formation after specifically not starting that way).
At least there were some positives to take from the game - usually we're just dire.
