Well that was a pretty odd old game. Liverpool had just one effort on target, and Villa didn’t even need to continue their first half policy of kicking the opposition up in the air to get the job done. They were excellent in defence in the second half, snuffing out whatever mild threat Liverpool offered with a good deal of efficiency. Paul Lambert’s men are second in the league, and unbeaten. What a world. Cheers for joining us for this one. Until next time.

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Aston Villa are still unbeaten. Not a typo.

90 mins + 3: Brendan Rodgers has his arms crossed. Brendan Rodgers is not happy. And he’s right not to be, because his team have been pretty awful.
The Aston Villa supporters start to celebrate as they known that the impotent home side won't score in the remaining injury time.

90 mins + 2: More slightly impotent dilly-dallying from Liverpool eventually results in a corner, but summing up their performance rather everyone watches the resultant kick sail over their heads and to irrelevancy.

90 mins: Sub for Villa - Darren Bent comes on for Agbonlahor, who makes a hell of a charade of handing the captain’s armband to Delph.
19:16
88 mins: Villa are sitting awfully deep and inviting Liverpool pressure on them, but the home side just aren’t incisive enough to do any damage at this stage. Coutinho gets the ball around 30 yards out and tries a shot, but that one will still be rising in a few days.
19:13
86 mins: Call of the search, we’ve had the stupidest offside of the season, as Manquillo takes a throw deep on the Liverpool right, Henderson returns it to him but the flag swiftly goes up. Ach.
Meanwhile, Carlos Sanchez replaces Tom Cleverly, and Matthew Higginson’s been back on: “Arses. you mean it was just a typo?”
Sorry, flower.

84 mins: Lambert sort of sums up Liverpool’s evening when the ball falls to him just inside the box, but he can’t really get the ball from under his feet and he ends up looking like a fragile foal trying to control a medicine ball.
19:09
81 mins: Oh! There’s something - Coutinho, who’s had a slightly frustrating game, cuts in at pace from the left and, when he reaches the edge of the area spanks in a fine shot, it takes a slight flick off a defender and thwacks against the post. The rebound falls to Sterling, but his shot hits Henderson, in a moment of low-level slapstick.

80 mins: Possible that Matthew Higginson is being sarcastic here: “I liked the ‘Brendan Rodgers are deep in conversation’ line. Beautiful in its brevity and accuracy, it captured the preposterous Rodgers with stunning clarity: the allusion that Brendan Rodgers is so utterly self-obsessed that he might actually be seeking the opinion of renown football expert Brendan Rodgers was one of the sharpest pieces of writing I’ve seen in this paper’s pages for some time. Bravo.”
Nothing of much note is happening in the football at present, so you’re not missing owt.
