December 76 was the day before my 19th birthday I'm now 62!
That Villa team was also far better than this one, and went on to finish fourth., which makes it even more unbelievable.Tell you what mate I was there in 76 but this one was far better cus this Liverpool team is far better than that one
Really don't know mate is it Shaky has Deano found a magic wand that performance came out the blue I bet Klopp is still trying to work it out but lets just hope this is us returning to the big boys table.What a night and you have to say, especially after watching the analysis on MOTD, our tactics were spot on. Smith gets the full praise for that. I also wonder how his new appointment Shakespeare has fit in and helped as well. Said a few times he might prove one of our best signings and again, that has to be down to Smith being big enough to bring in good coaches to work with him.
Half 3 before i sloped off to bed pissed out me headI struggled to sleep last night too. Was still so hyped up for hours after the game finished.

It looked like the fucking Alamo to meYes looked like a 4411 to me or 424 at times
That was the difference last night in Barkley we have someone who is just as influential as JackIsn’t it great to see a formation that you can’t really tell because it’s so fluid? On a much lesser scale, we did this against Everton last season where we had several options and players would move about, then for some reason we lost confidence, looked very rigid and only jack became an option.
Yes, they were able to get up enough to win League Cups, but not to sustain it over 42 league games.It's always struck me as funny that the wonderful team of the late 70s never really did anything. I went to every home game and it felt like we always won 3-1 and had 2 goals disallowed every game. But they never really succeeded.
It took the genius of Saunders to break the team up and build the one that conquered Europe to get the success.

That's the only thing that spoiled things not being there Villa Park would have been really special last nightI was there and took a Liverpool fan. He got up and applauded our first two goals then didn’t see or hear anything from him after that.
Five up at half time and could have had seven that night. I remember Emlyn Hughes leading Pool out for second half, chest puffed out , proud, running out, a real battler but to no avail, a special night for us. If only we could have been there last night!
Yes, that was a golden era to be a Villa fan, especially in light of what was to come.No-one who watched that team will ever forget them. For me their play was better than the 1980's team...any team!

Enjoy the moment Wurzel, it will only last until the first defeat.Dean Smith out coached Klopp tonight. Is he good enough now?
Because now we have a forward line every team will fear Iv'e said this before somewhere but last season every team came to VP looking for a win except Burnley and thinking about it Newcastle but now the lesser teams will come and put a wall up.The better teams will still come expecting to win but we have the pace now to get behind these teams.Don’t get me wrong, that was levels above last season. It was more the philosophy that didn’t stick last year, when we stopped playing a high tempo high pressing game. Seeing three forward players closing down the Liverpool players virtually in their own box for the first goal was great to watch, haven’t see a Villa side play that aggressive for a long time - if ever in my lifetime
