Villa- Liverpool; A sneaky feeling

It doesn’t get much tougher than this does it?
Liverpool are in my opinion, are the best side in the world at the moment and I firmly believe they’ll win the league.

So after sticking a fiver on them to beat Spurs (and losing), I think they’ve probably just had their worst run they’ll get for the rest of the season.
I know, they dropped two points is all.

Still, it proves that they are not totally invincible and you can get something against them.
We do have it in our favour that we only got beat 1-0 on their turf last time out and I don’t need to mention the major arse-kicking that we gave them, so maybe Klippety will be more cautious than usual?
Then again, I doubt it. He doesn’t do that, does he? and it’s probably why Liverpool are everyone’s favourites from the top however many clubs.
They play cracking football.

Squad news and on our part, Jacob Ramsey is still out. I’ve already said I’m not bothered by that. Is it a coincidence that we looked miles better without him on Saturday?
Kortney Hause is also out, as is Leon Bailey, our latest sicknote.
Gerrard has said that the squad will be very similar to that against Burnley.
Which makes sense. Why change what worked well?

Liverpool have Klopp moaning as per usual about the squad, but the actuality is that they’re in good shape and Roberto Firmino might well make it after being out for a good while. Otherwise, they have no issues.

Liverpool might look a bit down and out now they lag Man city for the title race and they have a cup final at the weekend, but I don’t think for one minute they’ll play a weakened side. Even if they did, it would still be seriously strong and probably enough to beat us.
Even so, I have a feeling and that’s all it is, that we might actually beat them.

I can’t back my feeling up with anything at all.
Liverpool have by far the better team and should beat us easily.
But it doesn’t always work like that, which is why we all love footy, isn’t it?

I’m going for a hopeful 1-1 as my realistic prediction, but you just never know.
I think I’m going to stick a tenner on Pool to win. Well, it’s a numbers game isn’t it?

Here’s hoping and UTV!

    He’s an absolute disgrace

    Liverpool on top as the half wore on – we need to keep the ball better.

    Coutinho not really having any influence on the game; would like to see Buendia on.

    Doesn’t help though given the assistance the ref is giving Liverpool.

    Even the BBC are banging on about the poor reffing.

    Some of the worst refereeing I have seen. He might as well wear a Pool shirt second half. Mings with his usual blunder to gift wrap their equaliser. Ings should have buried his header but overall not the one sided affair I expected. You get the feeling that they will dominate the rest of the game though.

      We’ll come out quick out the blocks but fade and they will dominate.

    There is a fox running past my lounge every 3 minutes, peering in at the TV then trotting to the kitchen door and back again. The wife asked what he is doing. I said “Either waiting for you to put some food out or for John Moss to spot the Scousers fouling”. Either way he is in for a long night.

    How does that ***t get matches involving the big Lancashire clubs? He is known to be biased. Arm round Henderson’s waist at one point – perhaps he isn’t straight off the field as well.

    Even Jamie Redknapp ex Liverpool player said the red is struggling.

    This is an understatement! Firstly a ref need eyes, unfortunately this ref can’t use them as he’s too fat to get around the pitch to see what’s going on.

    Ps I am overweight so can identify with another fatty! But at least I acknowledge I can’t run around a football pitch refing a premier match.

    Fabhino quitting to allow Henderson on has changed the dynamic.

      Even Liverpool fans are agreeing with the poor standard of refereeing – tbf on Villa’s side of the arguement.

      John Moss should not be an EPL referee.

    This Jack Daniels going down well, second half to come must stay sober, Moss as always been a shit ref and its his last year in the game the fat slob. I bet he undoes us in the second half just for spite, the swine.

    John Moss. Didn’t he used to be an ex of Boy George back in the early Culture Club days?

    Luiz with his usual mistake costing us a goal. I’m sorry I know some like him but for me I hope he gets replaced. Ings there with another goal scoring opportunity. Archer scores that for me.

    Carragher is doing my head in.

    And Ings has been poor

    The last act of a desperate man – put Traore on! 🙂
