Liverpool v Aston Villa - 3pm - Not on TV

    Might this be the last game of Brendan Rodgers reign at Anfield? Things aren't rosy for Tim Sherwood and Aston Villa either, but it's 5 years since tey lost at Anfield so should be very hopeful of being able to get a positive result against a Liverpool side who haven't scored more than a single goal in a game since Early May.

    It'll probably be a dour enough game, but if Liverpool can repeat the improvement of last Saturday against Norwich, and not the shoot from 30 yards display against Carlisle there might be a long overdue positive result for the home side.

    There won't be more than a single goal in this I reckon, but I'll go a pretty optimistic (all things considered) 2-1 home win to ease home tensions a bit, but put pressure on Tim. Rudy Gestede though is the type of player that Liverpool haven't been able to handle in recent years.

    Rumoured Liverpool starting lineup: Mignolet – Emre Can, Škrtel, Sakho – Clyne, Milner, Lucas, Moreno – Coutinho – Sturridge, Ings

    Hopefully a large contribution from Liverpool to the Aston Villa relegation campaign.

    There was still tickets available for this game today. Can't remember the last time I seen that for a league game at Anfield, particularly this early in the season.

    Last week vs Norwich there were tickets available a couple of days beforehand as well.

    2-1 to Liverpool to ease the pressure on Brentan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,059 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    1-1

    Liverpool to play like strangers, Villa score on the counter.

    1-1. The current and potentially future Liverpool manager in competition for an interesting game. Rodgers to begin the long recovery for Liverpool by picking up a valuable point against Aston Villa.

    So you reckon Sherwood will get the job after Moyes then?

    If Rodgers doesn't get a win here there's surely no better time to get rid

    If he's still in the job after a draw or loss you can assume Klopp or Ancelotti aren't the ones waiting in the wings to replace him, otherwise he would be gone

    The game sold out in the July sale. The reason why there are so many tickets on sale is the season ticket holders have had enough and selling their match tickets.

    2-1 home win to be followed by the usual, well thought out "RodgersOut" posts.

    Villa usually hand us our arses at Anfield and we're even worse than normal these days. Villa win and throw Rodgers in the Mersey.

    I've seen us play Villa twice at Anfield in the PL in the last 6 years and we have lost 1-3 both times, they are definitely a bogey team.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,083 ✭✭✭Panrich


    Can't see us keep a clean sheet at Anfield so the best we can hope for us a score draw I'd say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,044 ✭✭✭✭machiavellianme


    Either 1-0 or 0-3. Depends on which Aston villa turn up.
    A dour game in any case.

    Liverpool win.

    Despite the fact that we are in a desperate run of form & we don't have a good record, I see one of those bizarro land type results.

    I was at one of those games as well. The one where Gerrard scored near the end. Depressing day.

    A win shouldnt make a difference imo.

    Villa's form is shocking too. Sherwood is a spoofer. Two managers in trouble today.

    Do you think a win should change the RodgersOut" 'campaign'?

    When was the last time a manager was sacked immediately after winning a game?

    They might get a draw but can't see them winning. Your better off waiting until liverpool are 1 nil up and then lay them.

    Ye it was around Christmas 3 or 4 years ago, I had left the ground by then.

    This may sound weird to some Liverpool fans, but i really want Liverpool to win this football match.
