Premier League Gameweek 31

[Cheech Wizard]

Sums up Mane lately at the end there, obvious decision is to square it to Jota and decides to go himself.

Anyway, that's a relief and gives us hope for top 4. It was getting beyond a joke not winning at home, had to nip that in the bud.

 

[Wayne's World]

Delighted Trent scored, keeps him in the team and makes Madrid massive favourites to rip him alive again and score a few goals.

If he didn't play well today, Milner would have played and been a better choice defensively

 

[FootballHQ]

Please send Barkley back a.s.a.p.

Him not shooting when he was central and 20 yards out was a disgrace and then Liverpool score 30 seconds later.

Despite having 3rd/4th defence best defence in the league we're still going to finish bottom half ffs. That's the closest I'm getting to trusting xG anyway.

 

[RashyForPM]

For a team with John Terry on it’s coaching staff, the lack of commitment by Villa’s players to get out to TAA and block that shot was unbelievable. Did they not watch the way Leeds put every fibre of their being into ensuring City could not score in the early game on the dressing room TVs or concourse or something? Cowardly by Ramsey and El Ghazi.

 

[BusbyMalone]

I believe his name is Ross, not Brian

Not sure why it autocorrected to that!

 

[always_hoping]

Like a Liverpool win from last season. 1-0 down less than convincing performance then they go on to win in injury time

With their easier run in they have no real excuses to not finish at least 4th now.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

I thought Villa were rubbish up until it went 1-1 and then actually they were the better side.

Feel sorry for the keeper, two great saved rendered meaningless seconds later.

 

[big rons sovereign]

Greatest strike in the history of the sport. La.

Villa players were fecking knackered to be fair. They gave everything. Liverpool wore them down like they do to most teams, except this time we decided to score some goals too. That's a novelty from us.

 

[crossy1686]

Liverpool winning with individual brilliance, no one jumping on that? No?

Well, as long as Chelsea and West Ham keep winning then it won't matter hopefully.

 

[MetoTTT]

The sad thing is we all know there will be newbies spouting shite on here also next season

Thanks!
Fortunately there will always be people who know feck all about football to open our eyes.
Another transfer mess this summer incoming.

 

[GaryLifo]

If you'd offered me in November/ December when they were top that they'd be scratching for 4th on April 10th I'd have bitten your hand off.

 

[Bulldog United]

I'm not.
I'm sure TAA was a guaranteed start. Milner wouldn't add much to their atrocious defence anyway.
A bit more courage from Villa and they could easily have won that.
Madrid won't be throwing away their advantage next week.

 

[calodo2003]

Another great save turned unlucky.

You sure do have weird standards for jokes.

This result masks over your failings. Your back 5 looks woeful. If Arsenal has a forward like Watkins you would have conceded.

The sad thing is we all know they will be better than us next season. I'm praying for bad results, sack Klopp and bring back Slippy G.

Bore off.

Yep agree with that. We were poor first half and it was daylight robbery to go in ahead. Liverpool had a brief flurry start of second half to get to 1-1 and then barely had another shot until the TAA goal.

Annoying with the Trez shot hitting the post and he also should've gone straight down as he would've got a penalty. Then Barkley acting like a clown with the late counter attacks we had.

Very frustrating not to get a point but Liverpool were well overdue a home win.

Unbelievable really. He had another poor game today and was unlucky not to concede a penalty. That's off the back of getting spanked by Real.

We all know he's good going forward but the issue at the moment is he simply isn't very good at defending at all.

 

[Nero]

I think Ross Barkley is one of the worst players in the league. Certainly one of the thickest.

 

[duffer]

Dude scored a great goal from left wing but that's no reason to pick him at right back.

 

[Deery]

Thomas Tuchel instead of calling it Palace he says “here at Crystal”..

 

[SilentWitness]

It’s bizarre really. England are blessed in the attacking department. Having TAA won’t elevate that so much that’s it’s worth having his defensive issues too.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Is Grealish ever going to play for Villa again or will he just be ill/injured until he leaves.

Won't get European place, won't go down, Euros coming. I'd be tempted to be cautious.

Issue will be wanting to play, get match fit and show Mr Beige he's worth a place v rushing it, getting another injury

Nice bit of PR

bookmarked when the inevitable postmortem where Southgate gets torn apart for sticking with Alexander Arnold

 

[Dumbstar]

Bore off.

Only 8 points behind with you playing Spurs tomorrow. Then a six pointer between us in a few weeks. I'd say we're almost already better than you even before next season.

 

[Ramshock]

Well, as long as Chelsea and West Ham keep winning then it won't matter hopefully.

we dont want chelsea winning nor leicester. If they both drop points before our match tomorrow it takes the pressure of us.

Aw bless

He’s training on the bike to try and get fit, I’d say he’ll be back before long..

 

[Chairman Steve]

I didn’t realise a defender scoring a goal suddenly makes them a good defender. Is this fecking Garth Crooks Team of the Week logic or something?

 

[GifLord]

Where's Timoo?

 

[dwd]

He's Ted Lasso

We all know he's good going forward but the issue at the moment is he simply isn't very good at defending at all.

Even when going forward though, he spams so many crosses that the majority of them are really poor. You look at that game today and most of the time he's not finding his man. He's actually quite wasteful. I just really don't rate him. Obviously he struck the ball well for the goal.

And yeah, defensively he's really not good. Which is what Neville was saying I think. He wasn't criticizing the attacking aspect of his game. So not sure what that bizarre outburst by Carragher was about.

 

[mancan92]

I mean it's a fantastic goal. Trent has had a poor year as have Liverpool but the guy is a generational talent don't why so many on here get so upset. Some of the best full backs of all time have also gone through periods of questionable defending. Calos, cafu, maicon, evra etc etc all have looked poor defensively at times. But Trent's attacking play is a far bigger influence. Just make sure you have a couple good cbs which Liverpool have none at thr moment.

 

[BusbyMalone]

Yeah, I didn't say Leicester. I want Chelsea and West Ham winning though.

 

[Real Name]

Aw bless

He does like a nice wum.

 

[SwedishFish]

"England must be bold if they want to progress"

Yes because not being bold has been the problem, not hubris

Never change English journos.

Also got to laugh at Lineker treating Trents defensive liabilities as a mere inconvenience.
