Massive game. Really concerning now that Barkley is not involved again.

Going to need a lot of running tonight so I can understand the decision to bring Barkley back. Don’t want to push that hamstring
Title: Re: Manchester United vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: CT on January 01, 2021, 07:04:32 PM
Come on boys!

On another note, I wish they’d just be honest about injuries. If he’s out with a 5/6 week hamstring injury, just say. It’s not the first time.

Anyway, just smash these Home Counties twats.

Surely have him on bench though.

This should certainly help us negotiate a more reasonable price for him

Post by: brontebilly on January 01, 2021, 07:08:04 PM
Agree with general comments on Barkley, for what was meant to be a relatively minor hamstring injury he has missed an amount of games

Was really hoping to see Jack up against AWB tonight so bit disappointed than Barkley isn't back

Somewhat cautious Man United selection, will be interesting to see where Pogba lines up

Post by: Astnor on January 01, 2021, 07:14:13 PM
They seems to have changed their formation with the inclusion of Pogba, probl diamond with --Fred def and Fern up front and to up top. Migth try to hit us in the middle, good Mings is back then. Might then be easier on the flanks for us.
Title: Re: Manchester United vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: Risso on January 01, 2021, 07:21:32 PM
Where the actual fuck is Barkley? Smith said he was due back after the Wolves game.  He's of no use to us if he's going to be a permanent sicknote.

Very harsh decision to drop Hause, let's hope Mings doesn't drop one of his customary bollocks.

I don’t envy Dean having to pick between Mings and Hause. Bit harsh to drop him as he’s come in and been rock solid, cannot ask for more from a reserve to step up and I’m sure he feels hard done by not to keep his place.
Title: Re: Manchester United vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: SoccerHQ on January 01, 2021, 07:47:00 PM
They've gone very narrow.

Surprising as would've thought they'd have started Telles as Shaw is pretty verage going forward. Wan Bisaaka also struggles to get decent crosses into the box.

Looks like OGS shown us plenty of respect by playing 3 cms as he'd likely have started Greenwood v most other teams.

Post by: Villafirst on January 01, 2021, 07:48:12 PM
Barkley will probably play in the Liverpool match on Friday. If it's still not right, you can't risk hamstrings; again it's also pretty cold tonight which doesn't help.

Quote
15 - Manchester United have lost just one of their last 43 Premier League games against Aston Villa (W31 D11) and are unbeaten in their last 15 since a 0-1 home loss in December 2009. Devilish.

Made me realise we're due a win against them.

I know we play on the counter but it can only work for so long before the pressure will tell. And they have way too many good players not take advantage. We have make better use of the ball when we get it. So far it’s been really sloppy and we are dropping deeper and deeper. That only leads to trouble.

McGinn can be frustrating. His first thought is always to shield the ball and activate his arse as if he doesn't have the confidence in his ability to beat a player. It means we often lose the impetus of a turnover when possession is gained.

Actually don't think it's as bad as the other night, Man. United are pretty good at the quick one touch combinations between 2-3 players that can open up space quickly.

Decent performance considering we weren't great in the opening 10. Agree with Gary Neville though, for the amount of set pieces we've had it's just been floated nonsense bar the first which De Gea had to fist away.

Have to do better if we get same amount in second half.

Better side on the ball. Lacking that final pass.

McTominey has committed 3 fouls on Jack now, he has to go in the book for the next one. We need a little more belief in the final 3rd, as when you turn their defence, they're so ordinary.

Points in this for us Villa.

Let’s not forget, our expectations have been seriously raised. It’s been a magic season so far. We are playing against a side and squad that really relative to what’s been spent on it over the past few years has massively underperformed. But they are all still individually very good players, some with tremendous experience. If we lose, it might just be that on the day they were better or took advantage of our mistakes. We have to seriously over-perform to win against the very best and we have proven we can do it. But it’s a lot to ask to always play to that level a season removed from almost going down.

Fucking Pogba decided to turn up.

He has the look of "who the fuck do these guys think they are" about him, so he's also taken the piss a bit.

Mings is a better all round player than Hause. He was always going to come straight back in.

Working well that so far.

Hause is a good blocker but gives the ball away far too often

You’re probably right but not much incentive when you’ve come in and perfumed admirably.

Post by: BC Villain on January 01, 2021, 09:07:30 PM
Hause must be really pissed off.

I'm guessing you may not be happy with Mings?

I can see what he’s saying though. If you earn the shirt you should keep it.

It does seem to send out the message that Mings is untouchable when he's fit and available.

Hause must be really pissed off.
Been absolutely rock solid since he came in, but dropped for the ‘bigger name”.
Agreed. I'd have put Mings on the bench and told Hause to go out and keep his shirt.

Would be a great sub for last 30 minutes. We lack anyone really on the bench to strike fear into Man. United but Barkley certainly would as he's scored a couple past them in his career.

Next time we play them we need to put someone on edge of the box for corners, Pogba scored one like that last season.

Tripped himself up.
Ridiculous decision.

When are we going to get something from VAR?

Unfortunately not " a clear or obvious error"

Except it was in this case.  Exactly the kind of thing VAR was introduced for.  Matic just scythed down Grealish and no yellow.

Nothing against the lad personally, and of course I hope he sticks it down my throat, but when he comes on I know we’ve run out of legitimate options.

When the margins are this small and when you're playing 12 men, you need to score the chances that come.  That is now our biggest issue to moving on from where we are (upper mid table) to where we belong.  We need a top quality goal scorer.

Last twenty minutes looked like the players were starting to be a bit tired, with some loose passes. Also think we need to be direct on the counter attack at times.
FA Cup brings a chance to rotate a few players ahead of a number of games in January.
