big big chance for moreno there :/ hoped we'd do a chelsea, score at 45 and go on to win the game.
it's painfully obvious how much we're missing sterling. villa have it down tactically though - they're way too physical for us so they're winning almost all aerial battles. plus they're going in hard on balotelli to try to injure or anger him.
i think deshi summed it up perfectly though; villa haven't even been that good, it's just that we have been bloody awful.
only half way though, let's see what brendan can do.

if you dont go on to win this, could this be considered the first casulty of having a CL campaign as well as a league?
Surely last year if you did not have a mid-week game, stirling would not need to be rested?
Villa have only been threatening at set pieces, they are happy to just defend and get something from set pieces. Meanwhile Liverpool are just passing sideways....
Moreno should have taken the shot himself considering he scored a cracker against Spurs....

Should have just passed to Markovic sooner, he'd have buried it.

Sterling would not have improved our set piece defending, plus Liverpool don't play well in this 4-3-3 formation even with Sterling, we look better in the diamond.
Saying that, Sterling would of injected some energy and pace into our game, the players out there look happy to just pass pass and pass....
The football we're playing is ****. No intensity, just content to pass it around at snails pace. Taking the piss.
Such a **** first half. I hope the players speed things up in the 2nd half, the amount of touches they took in the 1st half was ridiculous and no one was making any runs at all either. Rodgers needs to light a fire under their arses and make them get their fingers out.

I wouldn't say so really.
We just haven't properly got going as a team - 6 new players all playing at once isn't going I have an instant chemistry. Although that still doesn't excuse such a poor display.
Regarding Moreno, he should've either passed sooner or hit it as hard as he could at goal. Unfortunately he made the wrong choice which is a real shame, although it's nice to see him getting forward well.

Who do you even have that can speed play up? It was all about suarez/sterling/sturridge, 2 of whom are unavailable, one permanently.
