KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum AWFUL v villa

Guys, we lost. Our performance actually was not that bad, Gerrard's and Markovic' especially. We weren't bad, but Villa were outstanding in defence and when a team is outstanding in defence, we have to be outstanding in attack, which we weren't. We were good, but not outstanding. Don't forget the post denied us an equalizer, Mario was being punished off the ball and couldn't react to it for fear of a red card. We were missing Danny and Sterling along with Skittles.

We will improve. IMO, our main problem is still a commanding goalkeeper. MIGs has moments of absolute brilliance but his inconsistency could cost us in the long run.

We'll better improve, losing against Villa at home is at best mid table performance and at worst relegation performance.

Again it seems some on here lack the intelligence to realise you can criticise players performances based on their history and the history of similar players without precluding the possibility that they will improve. The desperation on here to suggest marko was anything but completely average against villa is also apparent. Lets hope he settles soon because he clearly hasn't yet.

We were poor against villa with hardly any chance creation. Thus far the summer signings have been exactly what the vast majority of the football commenting community have suggested they would be, and that's bang average and the wrong profile. The season is still very much in it's infancy, lets hope an improvement comes sooner rather than later, losing momentum will cost us dearly with the improvement of other top 4 competitors. Fortunately whilst Rodgers has systematically shown a complete lack of ability in purchasing the right players since his early acquisitions of Sturridge and cout, he does seem to be a good tactician and man manager. Lets hope the latter two attributes are what we are talking about in the coming weeks. And not 70+ million of new attacking 'talent' failing to do anything of any note for 90 minutes

And some people thought that we can take Suarez's loss in our stride. How naively optimistic!!

lol..what a player tho hey..even when he was sh1te he was brilliant

There will of course be those ‘supporters’ who wearily harp on about Luis Suarez, and how much we miss him. They were out in full force on Saturday evening, I’m sure, groaning with unnecessary scorn and vigour into their beverages.

If you are one of those people, I implore you to wait and see. You may not have picked up on the positives from Saturday, but they were there I assure you. Anyway, Suarez wouldn’t have improved us at all yesterday. I guarantee you. I can guarantee you because he’d have been watching from the stands, suspended.

i declare balo sh1t...after 2 games and a 6 yr career where he turns up for 1 game in 10. he is sh1te and lazy

He said the same about Danny and look what happened there. He also said that we'd get done in our first three games last season and guess what happened there too. Record isn't good so I'll ignore what he says as it's mostly wrong,

the chances of mario changing his ways are zero...home debut in front of the kop and he doesn't break a sweat. I see a loan move to stuttgart in his near future.hopefully jan.....really really poor and lazy transfer from us...nobody better I hear people say? pffttt...if u can't find better than a lazy sod then something serious wrong with ur scouting dept...i think the committee pushed this one on BR.

nobody mentions the things i was right about however..which was praticially everything else lol, and I was in part motivating danny and the predictions were also reverse psychology ....just to be 100% clear on this mario is a total baby and will never ever ever ever ever be a a success here and anywhere where the going is tough . eat my hat if he is
