When the dust settles that's an amazing result for us

It is. Feels like we dropped 2 points but the Mings challenge, potentially penalty shout. On another day we lose that.

My 90 mins in 5 words:

Gutted. Elated. Nervous. Disappointed. Relieved.

sorry, my 109 mins

If I’m being hypercritical I thought in the second half we could have breached their high line with a bit more care and bravery but that’s extremely extremely critical on my part.

Close but I’m sure in days of old we’d have lost that one at the death  .. maybe without 2  LB injuries we see that one out .

 

I challenge any fan to watch that performance and come up with the boring mantra that Mings is shit , he was everywhere today and deserves his own segment on defending on match of the day … instead I suspect we’ll get a segment on how he should have had a red card and VAR got it wrong 

we get this summer window right and next season it will be 3 points for us

Surely the referee isn't the one adding on the time?!

He does. He communicates it to the 4th official.

Am I correct.  If we win next weekend, we are guaranteed 7th and possibley(less likely) 6th, no matter what else happens.

[Sulberto21]

Also in nearly 4 halves of football we’ve limited livarpool to just ten shots. They’re normally up at 20+.

Yes.

[BleedClaretAndBlue]

Incredible effort from everyone. Thought first half we were very good. 2nd half we were disrupted with injuries and looked tired but to come away with a point at Anfield when they’ve just won 7 on the spin is commendable.

Tyrone MOTM, he was everywhere again.

It's explained in his post, we now need to beat Brighton rather than draw.

Assuming Spurs beat Leeds.  But bearing in mind how ropey Spurs are and that Leeds nearly beat Newcastle and need a win to stay up, it's  not a given

Yes, beat Brighton and Spurs cannot finish above us and 7th is ours!

No we haven't ! 
We need to match Spuds to finish above them and we need to match Brentford to finish above them. That may mean needing to beat Brighton but it can also be achieved by losing if the other two lose aswell !
 

I’m not sure how us and Brighton can both lose the last game?

Were not mid table mediocrity anymore,when they show the table on TV you can see the Villa rising up the table as our continued progression scares the crap out of the " big boys ".

I love a good Unai defensive shithouse masterclass but didn't particularly agree with the idea of the back 6 and give up all play for the final 30 odd minutes. We had the upper hand on Liverpool but then just invited them on at every opportunity and felt likely they'd break through at some point. 

Still though, a big point and puts us in position to do the job next week. 

It's a shame Moreno got injured as I reckon we would have been really dangerous on the break with him down the left.

This is probably a fair enough assessment, but I'm just not going to criticize him at all. It's incredible the job he's done here in a pretty short amount of time. I love him.

Kin hell wish some reading was done before posting . 

[Ouchmefoot]

We need Brighton to drop points against Southampton (v. unlikely) and Man City (likely) for us to have a shot at sixth next Sunday

[Talldarkandransome]

Might even watch MOTD to see what Danny Murphy has to say, no doubt Villa were lucky and didn't deserve anything.

You are forgetting Brentford.
