Liverpool beat Villarreal 2-0 at Anfield on Wednesday evening.
It was the first leg of the Champions League semi-final and The Reds made light work of their visitors.
They took the lead in the 53rd minute through Pervis Estupinan’s own goal before Sadio Mane doubled their lead two minutes later.
Liverpool dominated 74% of the possession and registered 19 shots in comparison to Villarreal’s one. Most viewed Unai Emery’s tactics as a necessary evil given Liverpool’s sheer firepower.
But not TalkSport pundit Jason Cundy.
Speaking after the final whistle, he labelled the Yellow Submarine a disgrace for setting up in the way they did at Anfield.
He said you could have played a fan beside Virgil van Dijk in Liverpool’s defence and it wouldn’t have made a difference.
Questioning Villarreal’s merit to make the final four of Europe’s elite competition is interesting given they beat both Juventus and Bayern Munich to make it that far.
😡 “Villarreal are a disgrace. That was a disgrace to the #UCL .”
😬 “You could’ve played a fan next to Van Dijk, they were that bad.”
😳 “I’ve no idea how they’ve made it this far. They were pathetic!”

Everything he said is true. They are pathetic. Bayern and Juve are even more pathetic if they allow themselves to be beaten by this team.
