Comments on: Liverpool 2, Aston Villa 1: final observations http://liverpool.theoffside.com/fixtures/premiership/liverpool-2-aston-villa-1-final-observations.html News from Liverpool football club Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:47:19 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Brian http://liverpool.theoffside.com/fixtures/premiership/liverpool-2-aston-villa-1-final-observations.html#comment-6411 Brian Tue, 14 Aug 2007 18:49:24 +0000 http://liverpool.theoffside.com/fixtures/premiership/liverpool-2-aston-villa-1-final-observations.html#comment-6411 I agree Matt, there are definitely right wingers with more ability, pace, and imagination than JP, but he carried us at times last year and I just think he's having some issues right now. He'll iron them out soon enough, last year he didn't really look comfortable until late November. As for Babel, he's going to be ridiculously good and has shown vast improvement with every challenge Benitez as put forth to him. The most amazing part is that he's supposed to be a left winger but you wouldn't have known from Saturday's match.

If Gerrard wasn't off, he would have had at least one assist and if Stevie-G was on, he would had at least two. I think I accounted two total turnovers for him the whole match, which he was double-teamed throughout. It was pretty obvious that O'Neill's plan was to prevent Pennant from bringing the ball up the flank, which they did well, but credit to JP has to be given to the fact that he played well with what they gave him.
