LFCMike 3,009 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Would have been nice for them to have kept a clean sheet second half but never mind. They didn't disgrace themselves and as already said, 5-0 doesn't tell the whole story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference between the two sides.... strikers. Keepers as well. Nyland made some really good saves. Kelleher... not so much I'm impressed with the overall performance though, and really excited about Harvey Elliott. He looks a serious talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,378 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2019 Nyland did the best for Villa, I think. Liverpool had some decent chances and actually threatened to score on more than one occasion. Some great reflexes from Nyland to keep them out. 5-0 flatters Villa I'd say!

Fairy In Boots 607 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 In fairness we were playing in a low gear all second half. Anyway not to detract as I thought Liverpool’s kids did well and showed heart. Would like to point out though that both Dean Smith and John Terry went into the Liverpool dressing room after the game to praise the kids and offer some encouragement and advice for their careers. Smith does this on the reg, but JT takes pelters in the media but is a really nice bloke in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,184 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Actually surprised John Terry has done something nice and gone and praised the kids after the match. Seems well out of character. Congrats to Villa on the win, and well done to the kids for trying to give it a go against people who've gone on and made first team careers in football.

Terry paid for all academy players driving lessons at Chelsea and their haircuts. After we lost the playoff final and Terry left us I saw his message to Grealish it was encouraging and full of fatherly advice to a young pro. It’s partly why we wanted him on the coaching staff he was/is a top bloke to have at your club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue 971 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Seen the first half and later the highlights. The results seems too high, not stating that Villa deserved less but the young Liverpool side deserved to lose by less considering all the chances they had.

Administrator Stan 18,378 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted December 18, 2019 Reckon we go out tonight. Everton seem to have galvanised somewhat under Ferguson and I think that's enough to see them through. It's frustrating as well because this is a great chance to go on and win it if we win tonight. Also our record when reaching quarter finals in Cup competitions is disgustingly bad. Whenever we've reached a QF since winning the League Cup in 2000, we've lost them all (9 times). Most in the last few years to Man City or Chelsea Think players like Justin, Choudhury, Ward, Iheanacho, Albrighton, Perez, Praet, Fuchs all play today. Especially given we have Man City at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given we have Man City at the weekend. I was going to ask what sort of team Leicester will field tonight. I'd definitely be worried if it was set to be a full strength Leicester side. We'll be fielding a weakened side through injuries rather than choice by the sounds of things. It's a huge opportunity so really I think you should be going all out as well. I'd fancy either of our sides to have a strong chance against either Villa or Man Utd over two legs in the semi finals. You obviously want to avoid Man City. If you do rotate the squad and we get a couple of key players back from illness/injury then I do fancy our chances at home, as much as it's possible to as an Everton fan.

Can't see our regular starting XI playing again. We've looked a bit leggy in the last few home games so change is pretty much a necessity. Plus we've got Man City away at the weekend on Saturday - just makes logical sense to switch it up a bit. It's definitely a huge opportunity for both clubs. 28 minutes ago, Teso dos Bichos said: Nice try. He's right though? You, with a full-strength side, struggled literally this weekend just gone against a an Everton side which had 1 fully fit central midfielder and other key players out. As for us, you only have to look at the league table and general performances to say we'd have a good chance of beating you (or Villa) over 2 legs. Not to mention we just smashed Villa 4-1 earlier this month. What's your logic? Something that happened a few years ago? A 1-0 win all the way back in September which even the most ardent (and proper Man Utd fan) would say they were lucky to get away with? Nice try.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted December 18, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted December 18, 2019 Big atmosphere tonight. All set up for a Moise Kean winner in the 93rd minute while Ancelotti and Zlatan watch from the stands and Big Dunc runs onto the pitch, throttles Vardy and then headbutts Brendan clean over the roof of the Park End in celebration. Up the Toffees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted December 18, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted December 18, 2019 Painful lack of pace on show between this lot. Our only two legitimately speedy players are both up front. Killing us against a team of sharp and quick players. Iwobi has been particularly poor. No cohesion of any type to our attack in general. Massive uphill task in this second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
