I thought the Villa lads played very well. They ran out of puff by the end, but certainly tested Liverpool in the first half.kancutlawns wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 8:51 am Sorry sub, I didn’t express myself clearly. Wasn’t expecting Klopp to put out a reserve or junior side, he had no obligation to do so. It’s the complaints that he (and other managers of major clubs) makes about fixture congestion when he has the advantage of rotating his sides and he’s still trying to have five subs per match which makes it a very unlevel playing field.
That said, Liverpool played the game without rubbing out faces in it and conducted themselves with dignity so no complaints whatsoever with the players. That includes James Milner’s interview after the game.
Milner is an honest bloke, and I'm glad he said what he did.
