Great game last night at Villa Park.

Was gutted to see Garcia make such a silly error for their first goal, he's been brilliant during his few couple of games for the club and played great last night bar that one silly moment.

Great attacking intent from both teams and a hard fought point.

Must say, when you see the passes that VVD and Trent spray around the place with pure precision its quite something, Liverpool need to keep those guys.

Villa undefeated at Villa park since August, need to keep that record going for the rest of the year.

One final thought - who had Villa going further in the CL this season than City? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
If they show you less ,you have less to criticise.😉
Exactly.

That goal Villa scored (the second one disallowed), it looked incredibly tight with Robinson on the far side. But, the VAR check seemed to be almost instant, and we never saw the lines. Sure, I'm all for quick decisions. But, how did they get that one so quick when at other times it takes them about 5 minutes? Is the tech much better now? Are the VAR officials much better? Or did the VAR officials do a quick check, say he was clearly onside as they only looked at the central Liverpool defenders, and they missed that Robinson was further back on far side of pitch?

At least the lines gives fans the comfort that the process is consistent and the officials actually based their decision on the correct players. Not showing the lines, I suppose they are less likely to be held to account if they make a mistake (which has been known)

Would you prefer a VAR highlights package instead of watching live football:D
