LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Villa's strength and experience showing through now. Hope this doesn't get too bad, it's really not good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,185 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Brutal for the kids tbh. We should have been allowed to withdraw rather than waste everyone's time with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMike 3,009 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Shame they didn't take one of the early chances. 4-0 is harsh as it stands and can only see it getting a lot worse unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Those first half stats shown on Sky are pretty impressive from our youth/u23's to be fair. Villa scoring 4 goals from 3 shots on target We've had more shots, more shots on target, more possession and more successful passes. As me and @Ricksaid, Brewster plays instead of Longstaff and we possibly could still be well in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,185 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Just now, shut up said: Why are Villa playing their B team? I know they're 4-0 up, but thought they would have taken this game seriously?? Because they can? It wasn't exactly a secret that we'd be putting out a very young side today. This gives the main players at Villa a chance to rest and their squad players an opportunity to play. Granted, it's not really a great experience for them that tells Villa anything meaningful about playing the squad players here - given that they're up against a youth team. But it's probably decent for their match fitness, but at very least it gives Villa players a chance to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf 7,161 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 In the grand scheme of things I don't think Liverpool will be bothered by this at all, Just a chance to let the younger players have a run out and if they won then great but if they lost then no real issue except for their pride getting hurt a bit.. pool have got far bigger fish to fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was absolutely no pressure on these lads tonight and I reckon the Liverpool management (U23s and Klopp etc) would be more hurt if they got smashed in another U23 game as opposed to this one.

Fairy In Boots 607 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 It’s decent for Nyland, Jota and Chester to get 90 mins as all coming back from injuries. Chester’s first game since Jan. landsbury also needs game time, I’d get Wesley on though try to grab him a goal give him some confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,380 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2019 Decent chance for Kane. Could have headed it back across goal and a team-mate gets on the end of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2,276 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The young lads did very well. They can be very pleased with themselves. The score line doesnt tell the full story, as the game was much more even than it suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
