TERRACE TALK: Liverpool - Don’t get carried away: It’s just Aston Villa

“Be careful what you wish for.” That’s what they told us.

If they meant we’d end up like Randy Lerner’s Aston Villa, charge us whatever you like. Anything but that… The FA Cup’s gone for another year. From the night Klopp picked the kids and nearly got sliced ‘n’ diced by Exeter, it’s been a question of when, not if.

They didn’t actually deserve to lose to West Ham. Some of the youngsters did well, not that you’ll be seeing much of them ever again. Suppose that depends on whether our Somme-style casualty rates continue.
