Liverpool have lost 9 out of their last 12 games. Their worst run of form since November 1953 to January 1954.

This is after spending £450 million on new players between May and September of this year.

Meanwhile Villa win in the last minute against Arsenal and it is 3 clubs separated by 3 points.

9 wins from 10 by Aston Villa in the league. Last time we achieved that was December 1919.

Very happy days.

Is that about as good a group as the All Whites could have hoped for? Looks to me like one that you could at least dream about qualifying from as the 4th seed, unlike say, the German or Brazilian group.

There was a reason Bournemouth fans shouted "stop the comp" when we reached second.

Some key players already prepping for their new summer teams. Bees always a bogey team, but confidence is down, Evanilson cant hit anything, Petro is a shadow of himself, hoping Dennis is called in and Paulsen called back from loan. Senesi and Semenyo already playing for their new sides. If anyone wants Tav happy to see him go. Thankfully 2 teams already looking like they're down and suddenly we're back in the third race
