Aston Villa v Manchester United Post-Match Thread

[Ger Regan]

Good performance, that

[Concrete Tom]

Better. Could have had all three. Young is still a cock.

[TonyD]

Good work. 

[richard moore]

Once we have Hutton back, we have a core of 5 or 6 decent players who should now see us comfortably mid table

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Not sure about a good performance, Ger but a decent result and credit to the lads who really stepped up a gear and put in an extra shift after Gabby was sent off.

[Deano's Mullet]

Got to be pleased with a draw after that sending off. Still wish Lambert was a bit more positive and its yet another season without beating United at home but at least we didn't lose. One defeat in seven although still only two wins from the last thirteen.

[Toronto Villa]

Given the circumstances that is a very good point indeed

[Tom_Mc9?]

I think they did well. Lambert hasn't done enough yet to say he's turned it around by a long stretch, but he's done well today.

Yep, we need to find a way of creating more chances, which is why we've been so woeful at times this season.

[Boz]

Why didn't Lambert play Bacuna instead of Lowton? But a well earned point by the lads they played very well when down to ten men

[Jon Crofts]

We retreated after half time which was a shame but we looked reasonable at times, gave them way too much respect and space, Lowton looked the weak link and showed why he's not getting a place.  Overall reasonably happy with that, players coming back will only add strength to the side.

Ashley Young really is a COTHO.

Apart from the first 10-15 minutes of each half we looked pretty good and almost all of our lot played well.  Benteke continues to create and score his own chances and we just have to get the ball to him as often as we can.  Gabby's sending off wasn't a red in a million years and not even a yellow 99% of the time but the ref had a shocker.  Oddly though we played a lot better after he went off and came a lot closer to winning it than Man U did.  Given the circumstances, a very good performance and a good result.  Well done.

Man U look very ordinary, by their standards.  Rooney was their one outstanding player.

Congratulations to anyone who had 'innocuous 50-50 challenge' in this week's How Will The Ref Find A Bemusing Way To Reduce Villa To Ten Men Raffle.

[PaulWinch again]

Sounds like a good result and we played well at times. Good stuff.

[curiousorange]

A creditable draw. Don't really feel pissed off about it, which shows how low expectations against these lot are. Ref did his best to get them the points, but they were a poor imitation of United sides of the past. Strange, really, considering they had Michael Carrick playing.
