osmark86 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Dumbass mistakes in defense and we should be lucky we're only down 2. Looks like we can't score so game over I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Early second half goal needed desperately. Get the ball to Bailey as much as possible. Need to work harder off the ball. Edited December 26, 2022 by birdman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Dougie hasn't been good, Ollie has been able to beat the defenders but finishing is not up to standard. McGinn's been fairly anonymous. Buendia has been all over the pitch (not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing). Olsen hasn't been bad eithert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Too easy for Liverpool. Yes we created a couple of chances but they could have scored 4 or 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted December 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2022 Why can't we score? Why? Watkins with two opportunities. Sitter for Bailey, McGinn header far post. Bet our xG for that half is well over 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Didn't think that was the terrible. We had some chances. Luiz totally off today and the high line not pragmatic against Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted December 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2022 This game could easily be 4-4. Watkins and Nunez each trying to be the worst finisher ever to play a PL game. They have been more clinical and their first goal was very good football. I don't think we've been too bad and have created a fair few chances. Unpopular opinion - I don't think Buendia is ever going to be great here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Dougie not at the races today, Young struggling, Watkins.. well. Triple sub please Unai, those three off, Dendoncker, Cash and Ings on at HT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steero113 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Enjoying the game, we should have scored 2 at least which is disappointing and would have given the game a totally different feel. Anyone who thinks we somehow have a right to be matching a side worth around 500m more than ours are funny on the inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2022 We've been totally outplayed. Don't let the couple early chances fool you, we've been horrid. Unai's high line is a disaster with these players against Nunez and Salah. Our defenders are as bad as they can be. High line not helping. Luiz is terrible and so is Ollie.

striker Posted December 26, 2022 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2022 Not sure it’s the right tactic to play such a high line against a counter attacking top four team? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Pretty bad first half but if Watkins wasn't so useless we might still be in the game. Saying that though, Nunez has stopped this from being about 4 going into half time. This high line against Liverpool is just absolute suicide. All I really hope from the rest of this is we just keep the score down because Liverpool don't even look as if they're really trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Was really looking forward to Villa again but the early goal really set the tone and old habits kick in. Trent has been allowed to dictate the play. Lets see what a HT Emery teamtalk brings in the 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner's Driver Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 We definitely look better organised and can at least string a few passes together and create few chances... But... we still balls it up with poor defence and weak finishing. They just have better players. Simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
