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 xD

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.

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.

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

Totally agree. 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.

I’d get Wesley on though try to grab him a goal give him some confidence 

I'm surprised he didn't play from the start given his need for goals.
