It’s obvious the plan is to hold back the most talented options in Eze and Edouard, play tight for 60-70 mins knowing full well we aren’t scoring with Mateta and Schlupp in our attack, then try and nick it. Big problem is this isn’t working! 8 games, 0 wins, 4 goals and averaging 2.75 shots on target per game. A what point do we just play our strongest available XI and attack the game from the off? Last night was an opportunity missed. At home against a Liverpool team in poor form and sandwiched between their champions league fixtures. "A Liverpool team in poor form",although they did beat Newcastle away the previous week!!

We should have pressed the Liverpool defence more in the first half. When we did TAA made a mistake and Mateta should have scored. He cannot start at Villa Park as he is lazy and couldnt score in a brothel with a £20 note behind his ear.

I think it's a little hard to say he was lazy, in fact I think he tried his best, it is that he just lacks the skill and pace required at this level and its more down to the fact that he is trying to step up to a level that is way beyond his actual competency level. Therefore the fault is with the person who identified him a PL striker and bought him in when clearly he is not able to offer the necessary skills to score goals!

Mateta is lazy. He was strolling around in the first half instead of actually moving his f**king arse and pressing the Liverpool defence. Why dont PV bring in his mate Ian Wright who can actually teach our forwards to finish and time runs properly.

For all his faults I think if we still had benteke playing for us we would have won tonight his heading ability and hold up play is far better than mateta , can’t believe I am saying this but with Olise supplying good crosses he is exactly the front man we could do with Sorry but you really are clutching at straws here. Benteke was on a similar wage to Wilf and was given plenty of chances to come good but never did. Getting him off the books was a great result. Has he been snapped up by a big team yet ? No he is stealing a living in the US.

This is certainly a very fair assessment and yet once again it is a very fine example of the decision making quality at this football club by extending players contracts when they are either injured or not performing!

I can't help but think it shows that they could show a bit of spirit after a terrible performance, highlighting our inability to.
