And yet I am compelled. I have no idea who Hill is. Have never heard of that person.

I felt the same way watching United's MD5 Europa league game.

 

[Live in the Now]

I don't know who any of the subs are either.

I fully expect to lose massively but I've seen senior teams play far worse than we've started here.

One advantage of playing the kids is that you absolutely know they're going to give it their all. Won't be any lazy plays out there.

Encouraging first 10 minutes by the kids

Aston Villa is completely being outplayed by a reserves team full of players we couldn't loan out to the lower leagues.

Villa scored the first half decent chance they got lol.

Liverpool's keeper is due to gift them at least 3 goals though.

Edit: lol the timing.

 

[Live in the Now]

Lol. Two very goofy errors there.

 

[Burner Account]

lol

2-0 AV not even 20 minutes in. Wish at least Jones had played this one.

 

[Live in the Now]

Elliott is really good for his age.

 

[Savant]

Elliott probably best player on the field.

Thought Elmo’s celebration was really unnecessary

not really a whole lot to say. LFC really isn’t embarrassing themselves here. Obviously an academy team though.

 

[Savant]

Van Den Berg might not be good.

 

[YNWA14]

Van Den Berg might not be good.

He certainly hasn't looked that part since moving to LFC.

Liverpool clearly trying to play everything through Elliott; this game a very clear example of 'men against boys' even though I'd say Liverpool have controlled the play better overall.

I think that’s fair. Elliot is the only one who is impressing me on either team today. Score line is flattering AV a bit. They haven’t really done anything either, but they have taken advantage of some school boy errors. Because they are playing against an academy team. They can’t defend at all.

Not arsed at all. This competition sucks. Every year I hope we go out before that ridiculous 2 legged semifinal. Really glad we have other attainable priorities nowadays. When we won this in 2012, it did absolutely nothing for us.

 

[Chimaera]

Woof this may get bad

 

[hatterson]

What I've noticed in the first half is that Elliot looks dangerous, the Villa attack against Liverpool's defense is men vs boys (it literally is, but it also looks like it), and Liverpool's keeper just straight up isn't ready for this level, he seems to cover less of the net than any other keeper I've seen.

This is literally the youngest ever starting lineup for Liverpool in a competitive match with an average age of 19 years and 122 days.

Don't know if anyone saw this, but thoughts on this? I actually like the competition and saw a Facebook comment that teams playing in Europe would be left out of the competition.

It's not true as none of the English teams want to go along with doing that to the CL.

But I can't believe that prick took over and still didn't delay this game.

I don't really think that's a bad thing to do. The only time that one of the big 6 hasn't been in the final in the last 15 years is in 2013 when it was Swansea vs Bradford. 4 of the last 5 years have been two big 6 clubs facing each other.

Eliminating teams who have continental competition would not only increase the chances of lower league teams advancing or mid/bottom table premier league teams winning, it would also prevent teams doing what Liverpool has done the last 2 games and roll out a u23 roster

I'm a United supporter, but Liverpool should never have been put in this position. Completely unfair that Liverpool has to do this.
