Liverpool v Aston Villa 5.30 KO

Harry Palmr

The game is on Sky Sports 1

Villa have not lost at Anfield since 06/12/10 when the home side ran out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from N'Gog, Babel and Maxi which is a pretty shocking thing to realise!

This game last season was almost handed to the visitors as Rodgers had one of his rare tactical off days - playing a high risk 4-2-4 against Villas 4-3-3 Weiman, Benteke and Agbonlahor having plenty of freedom to run at a creaking back line. Things only looked more equal when Rodgers switched formation and brought on Lucas for Coutinho at half time the game ending 2-2.

Liverpool's injury list is suddenly twice was it was with Sturridge, Can and Allen joining Johnson, Flanagan and Škrtel on the sidelines. Given the rush of games to come over the next few weeks rotation will come in to play at some point - maybe tomorrow? Lallana and Balotelli will surely both make their Anfield debuts.

Meanwhile Villa apparently have doubts over Vlaar with Benteke, Kozák out while ex Liverpool loaner Ali Cissokho should start for Villa and Joe Cole might be on the bench!

Markovic has been pretty bad. Possibly the worst player on the pitch but there is alot of competition among the Liverpool side.

Think Coutinho has been worse to be honest. At least Markovic was involved. Countinho has just been anonymous.

Lallana off?! This is some kind of sick joke, Markovic was rubbish!

Lallana? One of our better players today.

Lallana 23m off, Sterling 500k on.

I thought Lallana was one of our better players today.

Coutinho is horrific offers nothing

I am pie

coutinho far worse than markowicz. at least he is trying a few things, coutinho has been cowardly.

Alan Hutton is the most disgusting footballer since Roy Keane.

Strange change.

Thought Lallana was doing well, surprised he's off.

Hutton is very reckless with his tackling. He went high on Ballotelli in the first half as well.

Keane has obviously been having words with the Villa boys

PhiloCypher

Can't believe he took off Lallana instead of Coutinho, he's been absolute muck.

Not a great game from Markovic. Time to haul him off, bring on Lambert and go two up front.

Lallana is a poor mans Nick Barmby. Another over rated English player.

Markovic is fukken useless, take him off

This is Lallana's first game after being out for a couple of months, so I'd say the plan either way was to only give him 60 mins. We have plenty of the ball but still not looking dangerous at all.

Well he added a second yellow there.

martyos121

That must be the first time one of our players turned a defender all game.

Did Liverpool even test the Villa keeper?

kingshankly

Villa extremely comfortable here

JPA

Might see Sanchez for Cleverley in 5 minutes and Grealish for Richardson in 10.

Peist2007

I cant see how Balotelli will ever be a good signing for Liverpool. These are the games he disappears in, when things arent going well for the team. Rodgers summer business is not looking good today.

Pass the ball Coutinho
