I don't feel good about that back four. Was really hoping Pau would start.
-
The team we wanted, minus Digne and Pau.
-
Confidence has fully dropped. Oh well, come on Villa.
-
Good to see Digne and Pau back in the squad, shame they're not in the starting 11 though.
-
Gutted about that back four. Never good enough for today.
-
Hmmm. That centre back pairing is rubbish.
The midfield needs to play better, also. No fucking about please, Bouba
-
FFS!! Was praying for Pau to start.
-
Our defence does worry me.
-
Time for a positive statement performance from us. The dip in form is over. Come on you Villans.
-
And their 20 ******:

-
We rushed Torres back too soon last time. Still 14 games after today so no point taking any unnecessary chances.
-
no mention of our injuries in the back 4 on sky , oh well
-
We have indeed 14 games after today to gather up 7-8 wins. I would rather not rush Pau back than risk losing him for another lengthy period.
-
Their two CBs are every bit as dodgy as ours. We have to attack them. If we come out and give them the ball we will be fucked.
-
That back four is already giving me kittens.
Hope I’m wrong. Just doesn’t feel like today will be our day.
I’m trying to stay positive so think midfield will be key - all four of them need to be at there best
-
Same back 4.....
-
no mention of our injuries in the back 4 on sky , oh well
We start to sound like whining Spurs fans with things like this.
-
Well I was confident until I saw that back four.
-

Oh it gets dark...
-
Lots of bench options at least.
-

Totally agree - we need to exploit these two frauds.
-
Mings, Konsa, Buendia and Duran aren't available, yet look at that bench. It's some squad we have these days.
-
I’m staying confident, we’ll win this. Come on Villa
-
I know we all want CL football given the season we were having thru December. But the depth of quality in the top 3 is really showing now. Clubs that have built over many years with CL level talent. It’s going to be a bit shit finishing top 6 now from where we were in December, but in reality given where we were 18 months ago top 6 is great progress. Man U have the most depth to catch up to 4th if they go on a good run.
Our depth as a squad will continue to be improved over the summer so we are consistently competing near the top every season. And with FFP it makes it that much harder now. But we’ve still come a long way very quickly and that should be recognized when we reflect on it all.
-
I’m confident for the rest of the season, if not today. That squad with Konsa back is capable of a good run from now on. Would take a draw today to maintain the gap. West Ham are finished.
-
What was the point in Torres being on the bench last week exactly?
-
at least we have pace in that back line to deal with the likes of Garnacho and meals on wheels

We are ahead of schedule to some extent.
The issue with that TV is that if we don't make Top 4 this year it's harder to persuade the likes of Douglas Luiz and possibly even Martinez to stick with us. FPP puts even more pressure on us to sacrifice one of our sacred cows. The game is not set up for upstarts to continue building.
Chelsea, Newcastle and Yanited -for most of the season - haven't been at the races.
One or two of them might misfire again next season, ofc. But you get an opportunity this you have to take it.
-
What was the point in Torres being on the bench last week exactly?
Maybe he is about 80% fit and they don't want to risk him. But an 80% fit Pau is better on the bench if somebody (God forbid!) gets injured than some rookie?
-
If Pau/Digne not fit to play 90 minutes, I would prefer they come on when we are 2-0 up!!
That West Ham result today puts us in a very strong position for EUFA Cup qualification at the very least. Today is almost a 'free hit' for the Champions League. Might ease the pressure a bit. Read somewhere this week, it is approx 75% certain that 5th spot will qualify for Champions League.
Come on Villa.
-
I trust Unai to get the very most from the squad that he can. If Pau needs more time to have the most impact over the season, so be it.
Would really like a win today but I don’t feel confident, and we’ll find out if the players do. They look like they’ve had the stuffing knocked out of them a bit and the ability to bounce back will decide if they can become great players.
-
What was the point in Torres being on the bench last week exactly?
no idea
-
I guess he’s not quite there due to his conditioning but could be used in a pinch, with a degree of risk that his rehab could be slowed or set back.
-
Am fully prepared to have the end of my weekend spoilt.
Please Villa, put in a performance against these lot, I’d take a 0-0 draw right now though.
Luckily I have plenty of chilled Sauvignon Blanc to numb the impending pain.
-

We tried that before, and then he was out for another two months. Just put them on the bench when they're actually fit enough to play. Absolute shoeing incoming.
-
I’d also guess he’s managing the current team’s morale as he knows he will need to use them again.
What’s worse for morale getting spanked or dropped. I don’t know.
-
I dont care if we scramble 3 points in the most controversial, sky analysed for 7 days, rat face crying to the referee, Alex Ferguson shaking his head, Man U manager sent to the stands etc, etc.
Just fucking win
-
Good to see JJ starting, if he can find his old form, will be a huge plus for us.
-
I dont care if we scramble 3 points in the most controversial, sky analysed for 7 days, rat face crying to the referee, Alex Ferguson shaking his head, Man U manager sent to the stands etc, etc.
Just fucking win
Yes. Yes indeed.
-

Just fucking win
If we can't pummel these sugarbags 6 or 7 zip that's the next best option.
-
Interesting back four.
-
There's a rainbow behind the witton corner. No idea if that's a good thing, mind.
-
Would be great to see Ramsey rediscover his form, he’s scored in the previous two editions of this fixture, fingers firmly crossed for another today.
-
Just got home from South Africa and knackered after 22 hours travelling and delayed connecting flights, not sure I can stay awake for this one. Especially as I have an early flight out to Holland.
Think we will win this one, Emery will be wanting to atone for the last time we played them.
-
I have Diego Carlos/Lenglet as our tenth choice central pairing. Any combination of Mings, Konsa & Pau are our first three, then six of any one of those three with one of the incumbent two. Corking.
-
Fucking Neville on co-commentary. Great. Twunt.
-
Totally pessimistic about this. We're going to get humped again.
-
United with military style jackets!
-
That mascots wink... Lol
-
Fucking Neville on co-commentary. Great. Twunt.
And Peter Drury :(
-
I feel physically sick.
-
They will get some controversial calls as usual, already angry at them
-
Who will take the Manure penalty??
-
so they mentioned Martinez is missing 135 times but not Konsa and Torres
-
United with military style jackets!
Stone Roses inspired, apparently.
-
I don't like our forwards not pressing their defence, I think we need to harry them
-
I think I’m going to get drunk
-
They will get some controversial calls as usual, already angry at them
They haven’t needed to in the last two away games.
-
their first break after us fucking up for no reason
-
Just got to the pub a few minutes ago. We're looking composed but need to be faster and more direct. Trying to tikitaki it on there led to a fast break for them
-
Garnacho totally unmarked.
-
Midfielders not exactly breaking their necks to get back there, were they?
-
We are going to have to outscore them because there is no way we are going to keep a clean sheet.
-
Sounds more like Torres Clint, not that I would expect you to be insightful of how anyone outside the Big 6 is setup and what we are missing.
'Villa miss Konsa'
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
Clinton Morrison
Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Aston Villa fans were saying to me that without Ezri Konsa, they have struggled because he is the one who is the most comfortable on the ball in defence and has the ability to start the attacks, which has been lacking without him.
-
I’ve seen continents move more quickly than Lenglet.
-
I’ve seen continents move more quickly than Lenglet.
He’s quite pedestrian. Our entire team can be at times. I hate when we play like that.
-
luis you fucking muppet
-
Sounds more like Torres Clint, not that I would expect you to be insightful of how anyone outside the Big 6 is setup and what we are missing.
Konsa has only been missing for what, 1 game? It's 8 weeks since Pau started for us.
-
Could you just not see that that was going to end in a mistake from us...
-
This is terrible, all over us.
-
I don't care what your philosophy is, if your 2 centre backs cant play you can't paly out from the back. It is asking for trouble.
-
Sounds more like Torres Clint, not that I would expect you to be insightful of how anyone outside the Big 6 is setup and what we are missing.
Konsa has only been missing for what, 1 game? It's 8 weeks since Pau started for us.
I expect he heard we were missing a defender who plays well out the back, then googled which defender was out injured and Konsa was the top result.
-
terrible pass there on Villa break
-
So much space on our left.
-
Dreadful start. Expected a reaction
-
Ramsey again wastes a promising move
-
Sigh, Ramsey's timing is still off a bit
-
Ramsey keeps making the wrong decision
-
Shit pass there from Ramsey
-
We’ve had the ball but we just don’t look confident with it. Certainly not the confidence that flowed for so many games prior to the end of 2023.
-
villa keep making the wrong choices
-
Don't want to see the game settle into one way traffic towards our goal.
-
At least Ramsey's playing with a bit of energy.
-
Good to see JJ having some good runs down the left.
-
Here we go....
-
fucking joking
-
Dreadful goal all round.
-
There was one to the clowns. Was offside before for corner
-
Oh well. Here we go.
-
There was one to the clowns. Was offside before for corner
Yup.
-
Super wank defending yet again and the beanpole scores against us again. Fucking sort it out.
-
Poundland Haarland again, FFS. And that, my friends, is probably that.
-
Dismal defending, fucking inept.
-
That was way too fucking simple for them
-
Kamara marking Blakey, twice it’s been a problem but we keep the same set up.
This is just stupidity.
-
I know we're missing Torres, but we didn't even have him last season and we were better than this.
-
Game over
-
It’s so nice that we have breathed life into his PL career.
-
We did have Mings though
-
Maguire has been all over Kamara at corners, so let's leave Kamara marking Maguire at corners. Fucking moronic football. What the fuck do they practice all week, how many goals is that from set pieces we've conceded lately? Shit.
-
Right let's do something with this corner
-
There was one to the clowns. Was offside before for corner
thought that too
-
Watching something else. Hate watching us gift goals like it's still fucking Christmas. And to the ****** yet again.
-
They’re a counter attacking team. Perfectly set up for them. Well done Villa.
-
Nailed on as soon as they got a corner from from that mot called offside.
-
Maguire has been all over Kamara at corners, so let's leave Kamara marking Maguire at corners. Fucking moronic football. What the fuck do they practice all week, how many goals is that from set pieces we've conceded lately? Shit.
it was so fkin obvious.
-
be good to see bailey touch the ball
-
Maguire has been all over Kamara at corners, so let's leave Kamara marking Maguire at corners. Fucking moronic football. What the fuck do they practice all week, how many goals is that from set pieces we've conceded lately? Shit.
it was so fkin obvious.
Even the BBC have said that.
-
Our defence is white without Konsa
-
Ramsey - having another nightmare.
-
Sell him.
-
Our defence is white without Konsa
Carlos isn’t white. Just sayin’
-
OTT reactions in here. We don't have our first choice back four available.
-
Our defence is white without Konsa
Carlos has a bit of a tan.
-
How many times have officials cheated us in this fixture?
-
Have we ever in anyone’s lifetime come back fro 1 down against these ******?
-
I’m assuming he meant shite.
-
Our defence is white without Konsa
The typo led joke writes itself
-
Sell him.
???
-
Going into this with the same back 4 and same system after the Chelsea and Newcastle games is ludicrous
-
Joke Alex before you attack me again.
-
Our form isn't great but are we just going to ignore the fact that our key defenders are out injured which isn't fucking ideal
-
excellent shot
chance again ffs
come on
-
Well this is better. Pressing them a bit at least
-
Joke Alex before you attack me again.
Tf
-
Same game as against Newcastle , nothing learned
-
Going into this with the same back 4 and same system after the Chelsea and Newcastle games is ludicrous
Konsa and Mings are injured and Pau has been out for two months. What options does he have? Chambers? Hause?
-
got to be scoring here
-
Move the ball faster ffs
-
Joke Alex before you attack me again.
Tf
Trevor Francis?
-
Better from us.
-
Good shot SJM.
-
get up ya cnut trying to slow us down
-
Great effort SJM
-
Joke Alex before you attack me again.
Tf
Trevor Francis?
Terry Fenwick
-
ollie a bit slow there ?
-
Watkins was onside so of course didn't finish
-
Just replayed the free kick. Poor call there
-
It’s just basics though, you don’t put a small bloke on a big bloke when the big bloke has allready won 2 in the air from corners.
We just gave them the lead.
-
Jeez how many chances do we want?
-
how many chances
-
We're cutting them open at least
-
Joke Alex before you attack me again.
Tf
Trevor Francis?
Terry Fenwick
Trevor Ford (one for the kids there)
-
The goal keep was laughing then, he’s not hurt
-
Ramsey you are ....
-
they get a shit goal
and we have had about 4 bloody good chances
-
Joke Alex before you attack me again.
Tf
Trevor Francis?
Terry Fenwick
Trevor Ford (one for the kids there)
Terry Felan oh that doesn’t work.
-
We’ve played very well since the goal. I fully expect them to get a second and wrap this up.
-
We’ve played very well since the goal. I fully expect them to get a second and wrap this up.
And a third, and a fourth probably.
-
Thats the spirit
-
Moreno far too casual.
-
whys diego do those passes
-
This ref is a ******
-
Fucking rubbish Carlos, fuck off.
-
wtf ref u wanker
-
i mean kamara should have passed to moreno but must have been fouled 3 times
-
Ref is an utter twat fucker.
-
We are having chances.
-
Bailey is off it today...
-
very good response since the goal, but we don't particlarly look like scoring
-
sonic gets booked
-
We are having chances.
They are giving us space, but we just keep running into them or our final ball is terrible
-
We are having chances.
I'm only following on the BBC site whilst trying to work, but it sounds like it's all one way.
But. No. Goal
-
Man utd don't look all that good
-
We’re playing well. Best in weeks. We can win this.
-
Casemiro booked at last.
-
This is crushingly predictable- concede a shit goal, miss some chances and then gift a second. As an aside JJ’s shooting is dreadful of late.
-
Can hear that champions league music fading away
-
Did Varane get booked for that shove on Ollie?
-
Cash is awful as well
-
Did Varane get booked for that shove on Ollie?
Nope
-
Man utd don't look all that good
They are not, hence they have not been a top 9 side away from home in over a year. We need to keep up the tempo and sharpen up with the final ball and we can win.
-
hit the fucker just not falling for us
-
Fuck me, MacPhee can collect his P45 after tonight.
-
Kamara beaten by Maguire again. Have to change the markers.
-
rat face bastard
-
Smack that FFS Leon.
-
Cash is awful as well
He really is crap.
-
We are just not going go score.
-
This ref is dreadful.
-
Cheeky, John
-
Rat face fucker. Send the twat off.
-
Anyone know why ratface isn't booked there? Or why Varane got away without one earlier?
-
manure have been awful to be fair
-
Shit refereeing. Varane and Penandez both with bad fouls, no action. Casemiro gets booked for not making contact with Cash.
-
Anyone know why ratface isn't booked there? Or why Varane got away without one earlier?
No
-
We’ve played well. Just not clinical enough sadly.
-
We’ve played well. Just not clinical enough sadly.
We never have a whole squad performing... now it's 31/41 that are the missing link
-
Very frustrating, we've played ok. Just the final ball missing.
-
why boook him and not ratty
-
why boook him and not ratty
Professional foul
-
why dont we ever shoot
-
why boook him and not ratty
Professional foul
i get that but Rattys was dangerous . both bookings
-
Lenglet booked for what?!
-
We can still win this.
-
I'm actually encouraged by this performance. Apart from a poor goal conceded we've played very well.
-
Lenglet booked. Bring on Pau.
-
Neville is a twat. Didn't think the ref wanted to book him but it was quite a dangerous counter attack. WTF?
-
Lenglet booked for what?!
Was unfair that they had 2 yellow and we none
-
Good last 20-25 minutes. Manure just playing long balls now and we’re controlling the tempo.
We can win this.
-
I thought we have played very well, considering it’s against 12 men. This ref is atrocious.
-
why dont we ever shoot
Frustrating innit. We have played the better football. Man U are shit and have given us acres. And this keeper is no great shakes, let's give him more work to do.
We need to be sharper second half because they will be tighter
-
Lots of huff and puff, but you can tell we won’t score. They’ll spawn a second or we’ll gift it - like the first. We just look very incoherent going forward - if Pau is fit get him on.
-
Needed a goal before HT because we have our custom, trademark, patent pending goal within 5mins of the restart still to concede
-
We either score or conced in the first 5 minutes after the restart and that will decide the game.
-
I can't believe we have not scored. It is not falling for us at the minute, where it was earlier in the season.
The good news is they are are shit and we will keep getting chances. The bad news is Utd will score again.
-
On top for most of the half but not decisive enough in front of goal.
-
We’ve been great aside from the final ball/ shot. There’s no ‘thinking’ for Emery to do. There is only winning. COME ON VILLA. FUCK THESE FUCKERS INTO NEXT FUCKING WEEK SECOND HALF.
-
We've played well there but lacking a bit of composure in the final third
-
We either score or conced in the first 5 minutes after the restart and that will decide the game.
This is precisely what will happen. It drives me nuts, it’s so predictable.
-
Lenglet booked for what?!
Was unfair that they had 2 yellow and we none
Waving an imaginary card. So yes, basically.
-
Looking good until the final ball. If we can equilize we will win.
The ref is an absolute twat.
-
Neville is a twat. Didn't think the ref wanted to book him but it was quite a dangerous counter attack. WTF?
Yes why because he is lickle? plonker
-
There is nothing to like about Man Utd. The ref is also dreadful We will win this
-
I can't believe we have not scored. It is not falling for us at the minute, where it was earlier in the season.
The good news is they are are shit and we will keep getting chances. The bad news is Utd will score again.
I wish they were shit but sadly they’re not, and putting in a good away performance, solid at the back and dangerous on the break. In fact, if I was a neutral and not filled with irrational loathing for the opponent, I’d be saying it was a very good football match!
-
Surprised by the comments about Ramsay - looking a threat I thought
-
Apart from the gift we gave them we have played well, good to see Ramsey on form although his finishing is off. We're killing them down the right with Moreno but have to get the ball into the box quicker.
-
Lenglet booked for what?!
Was unfair that they had 2 yellow and we none
Waving an imaginary card. So yes, basically.
How the fuck was ratface not booked? Shocking decision.
-
Surprised by the comments about Ramsay - looking a threat I thought
I think the final pass is missing from him at the moment, but he's getting closer to full fitness and it will come.
-
Playing well, Ramsey looking back to normal, their central midfielders on bookings, attacking the holt second half. I think we’ll win this
-
Lenglet booked for what?!
Was unfair that they had 2 yellow and we none
Waving an imaginary card. So yes, basically.
How the fuck was ratface not booked? Shocking decision.
Wonder if VAR looked at it as reckless?
-
Kind of same as against Newcastle, we playing some nice football, they have big CB that we dont manage to come through and those CB s help them to score on a corner. We are not lost though as feared but if nothing changes second half they will have a second goal from corner and we will play nicely and produce chances but no clearcuts or goals. Seems to me though that we ve not been able to change anything lately so still pessimistic.
-
not a free kick and potential offside - what a fucker
too much wrong choices , poor final ball passing and not shooting enough .
Ill take a draw but should easily be 2 0 up
-
Surprised by the comments about Ramsay - looking a threat I thought
I think the final pass is missing from him at the moment, but he's getting closer to full fitness and it will come.
He’s looking dangerous, lacking a little bit of final product but generally gives us far more balance.
-
We either score or conced in the first 5 minutes after the restart and that will decide the game.
This is precisely what will happen. It drives me nuts, it’s so predictable.
Yep and I suspect it’s the second scenario. We’re conceding some crap goals at the moment, and look ponderous when looking for the opportunity to shoot in attack.
-
Just cut the corners out and we can win this.
-
Think we've played pretty well there. Tempo been much better and played some good stuff.
As for the ref, it's the same story as it's been for decades against these. He's let them get away with time wasting at every opportunity, given them very soft fouls and only given us decisions when he's absolutely had to.
Just need to keep up the tempo in the second half and I think we'll get a point at least from this.
-
We're the better team, but we knew that beforehand, and when has that ever made any difference against these twats?
-
I've counted numerous strange decisions by the officials so far.
Regarding the non booking of cuntface, the mind boggles.
It's a toss up to who I'd feed first to an army of leaf cutter ants - him or the ref.
-
Lenglet booked. Bring on Pau.
Ideal opportunity but think he would have started Torres if he was in any way fit. To be fair despite all my criticism of him before the game Carlos has stopped two goals. Watkins at fault badly for their goal.
After a very ropey first 15 mins, we dominated the next 35. Playing our best football in weeks. Watkins dominating Varane, Luiz all over Mainoo, Ramsey causing a lot of problems despite poor decisions at key moments. McGinn much more involved in that 10 role than he was at Old Trafford. Most players miles better than during the week. Ollie missed the big chance but Bailey and Ramsey could have done better with other half chances.
Their two holding midfielders are booked and Maguire can't play out from our press. Big opportunity for us.
-
Kind of same as against Newcastle, we playing some nice football, they have big CB that we dont manage to come through and those CB s help them to score on a corner. We are not lost though as feared but if nothing changes second half they will have a second goal from corner and we will play nicely and produce chances but no clearcuts or goals. Seems to me though that we ve not been able to change anything lately so still pessimistic.
Huh? It’s night and day from the Jaudis game. We’ve been way more like our true selves this evening.
-
They will go ultra defensive and look to hit us on the break.
-
Surprised by the comments about Ramsay - looking a threat I thought
His running with the ball is causing them huge problems, first touch a bit ropey. But our left flank looks so much better today than it has in weeks.
-
Surprised by the comments about Ramsay - looking a threat I thought
I think the final pass is missing from him at the moment, but he's getting closer to full fitness and it will come.
He’s looking dangerous, lacking a little bit of final product but generally gives us far more balance.
He's looking better each game. He needs a goal for his confidence
-
Shaw gone off for Man Yew.
-
Can't help but feeling that those last twenty minutes were when we should have at least equalised.
-
yu have to be scoring that
-
We’re not scoring here.
-
Fucking hell Watkins, that's truly dreadful.
-
watkins is having a mare
-
Watkins with the first touch of a shire horse.
-
3times he has just lost the ball last 3 mins - watkins
-
Was that Ramsey giving it away and not even bothering to track back?
-
Fuck's sake Watkins. At fault for their goal, and how now misses a sitter. Having an off day.
-
FFS Watkins.
-
We need to get Bailey into the game
-
watkins has to score now after being so shit
-
Pressure getting to the players making us sloppy
-
pen all day long
-
How is that not a penalty
-
How is that not a penalty
Because it's them
-
Why was that not a pen?? Holding Carlos?
-
It’ll be lovely, just fit once to come from behind to beat these, but you just know it won’t happen.
-
why didnt var look at it
-
Watkins having one of those days
-
Cash you pillock shooting from there.
-
ref is giving us fuck all
-
Cash you pillock shooting from there.
yet when they in the box they dont shoot
-
ref is giving us fuck all
Yep but they get an offside goal and deny us a nailed on pen.
-
another one missed
-
How is that not a penalty
Because its at the wrong end.
-
Again again again. Frustrating is putting it mild
-
Sigh.
-
So fucking careless with our chances - which is why we can’t score.
-
Dreadful in the air according to the stats 27%-73% for aerial duels won
-
Ramsey and Watkins woeful.
-
We've lost all composure in the final third. I think there are some players seriously feeling the pressure at this stage of the season.
-
Rashford is having Cash on toast.
-
It’ll be lovely, just fit once to come from behind to beat these, but you just know it won’t happen.
Did I see a stat at h/t that said that they have never lost a P/L game where they've been winning at h/t?
-
That's truly shit Luiz.
-
They’re going to pick us off.

It’ll be lovely, just fit once to come from behind to beat these, but you just know it won’t happen.
Did I see a stat at h/t that said that they have never lost a P/L game where they've been winning at h/t?
Not since 2014 I think they said.
-
Not kamara.

8 of last 9 games.
Edit. 8 thinks that's won.
-
Cash booked for that, cuntface not booked for...oh what's the point.
Come on Villa!
-
Lenglet is a Barcelona player. Hahaha.
-
how we are not 5 up
kamara injury?
-
Right, time to make a change Emery. Let's not leave it until the 88th minute eh?
-

Since Wilf McGuinness left.
-
That mistake from Ramsey looks worse on replay
-
That’ll be Kamara out for the season.
-
That’s the midfield gone now.
-
FFS Villa just be fucking accurate. If he can play get Pau on
-
diabys first touch and does a watkins
come on villa
-
Any other club would have scored by now.
-
It's oh so frustrating to be behind to such a soft goal from a corner, but whatever the result of this game I'm more encouraged for the rest of the season than I was before it.
-
Get in
-
Oh great. Another injury. Cos we haven't had one of those in a while
-
Why dont we get a goalscoring coach
-
Dougie!
-
ywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
-
It's oh so frustrating to be behind to such a soft goal from a corner, but whatever the result of this game I'm more encouraged for the rest of the season than I was before it.
Think I'd rather play shit and nick 1-0 wins thanks to bad refs.
-
DOUGGIIEEEEEE!!
-
Yessss, get in Dougie.
-
How long until it’s VAR?
-
It's been coming. Constant pressure from us.
-
Oh yeah
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Come on me Villa babbies!
-
Right get a second because we’ve got no midfield now.
-
Yesssssssssss! Fucking finally
-
Had to be Douglas, one with the mentality
-
Let’s win this
-
Long bloody last
Commentator: Man U have got to do it all again... Everything is presumed on a win for them...
-
Get the fuck in!
-
Very nice
-
I love Douggie xx
-
Snapping into tackles now.
-
I hope Diaby and Bailey don't get in each other's way, Bailey looking dangerous down that side.
-
Diaby you have to do better there.
-
Giving the ball away stupidly again.
-
I love Douggie xx
An Aston Martin
-
dougie chance
-
Bailey off?!
-
FFS Luiz...
-
I wish someone would snap that shaved eyebrow in half.
Dangerous little fucker.
-
Really surprised by both of those subs?
-
Best we’ve played for ages against a decent side.
-
Strange taking Bailey off if he isn’t injured
-
Doug you had all day.
-
Bailey off?!
He's not been at his best I don't think. Final balls poor
-
Maybe Unai happy with the draw?
-
McTommy and headers...
-
We’re the better side now. It would be such a colossal boost for us to find a winner. And especially against this lot.
-
Strange taking Bailey off if he isn’t injured
Tired? Come on Youri
-
Best we've played since the City game, without a doubt.
-
Why did the ref stop play because Carlos beat Hojlund to a header? He didn't take a blow to the head so there was no need to give thme a breather.
-
another chance
-
Drury is a truly terrible commentator.
-
Oh Doug!
-
Luiz should have had a hat trick. Nice ball in from Diaby, he's looking better.
-
My god Doug.
-
God this lot are crap COME ON!
-
We get so many chances... so wasteful, and we are one of the most scoring team... boggles the mind
-
Can't believe we're not winning. But we all know the script.
-
Goal coming soon hopefully
-
Can't believe we're not winning. But we all know the script.
This 🥲🤧
-
whats diaby doing
-
Just saw Unai mouth 'Moussa'...
-
That is so bad!
-
Drury is a truly terrible commentator.
Isn't he just.
I muted him on 3 minutes
-
whats diaby doing
Tends to not look up
-
has to put luis in there
-
FFS DIABY!!!
-
He's been excellent since coming on but he has to put Doug in there
-
We’ll get suckered here, we’ve wasted so many chances.
-
Wonder if Drury shouts 'Garnacho' whenever he's on the vinegar strokes...
-
We've complained in the past about Diaby not shooting. Think we can see why now.
-
20 shots, 8 on target. 54% possession.
-
Maguire. Useless as always.
-
No advantage and no yellow
-
Maguire not booked for that. Criminal. FFS.
-
Bring on Z
-
emery having at go at watkins there
-
Diaby getting the hairdryer from Unai there.
-
Are we playing better than the other night
-
Unai animated
-
Diaby getting the hairdryer from Unai there.
oh diaby thought watkins but im red wined up
-
wtf
-
Seems we lost something taking Bailey off
-
Are we playing better than the other night
We are playing well, not sure which other night though?
-
typical villa
-
Unai desperate to make us understand what it takes to win at this level. Going berserk.
-
Are we playing better than the other night
Absolutely. Counts for fuck all now though
-
Chelsea
-
Absolutely predictable.
-
Ffs
-
Oh ffs
-
Cash. Useless.
-
Jinxed that then didn’t i
-
Fuck right off, fucking ******
-
That's a fucking sickener.
-
As per usual. FFS
-
Cash is shit
-
Carlos doing an impression of a statue
-
Only got ourselves to blame. Chance after chance spurned.
-
McTommy and headers...
🤬🤬🤬
-
Fuck off.
-
Been the better side and that happens. It always fucking happens.
-
Same old.
-
Absolute fucking wank.
-
Lost control after taking bailey off. WTF was cash doing there?
-
Fuck off red filth. I fucking hate this bunch of twats.
We've had chances though and that's what happens when you don't take them.
-
Cash. Useless.
-
We just never want to beat these do we. Shocking.
-
Why the fuck would you take our best player in Bailey off? Madness.
-
Not sure I'd have taken McGinn off
-
diaby 50 million oh well
-
We’re miss 10+chances, leave am man free to finish unmarked….. what else can we expect
-
Rubbish Diaby.
-
Not sure I'd have taken McGinn off
bailey too
-
Just fuck off, Villa.
-
For fucks sake. It's horrific.
-
Just soul crushing
-
McTommy and headers...
🤬🤬🤬
8-1 to have a shot on target when he came on on Sky bet. Easy money. Fucking prick.
-
how can we lose against a shite manure team
-
This is on Emery, absolutely shit decision to take Bailey off.
-
Why did he take Bailey off FFS
-
It was a cracking cross. If only we could deliver one like that
-
Poor subs by Emery today.
Not impressed at all by his tactics of late.
-
Flattering to bloody deceive again.
Why do we do this?? Always the same bloody story.
-
Not sure I'd have taken McGinn off
bailey too
Indeed
-
Watkins dreadful again today
-
How can that shower do the double over us?
-
Bringing Diaby on was a waste of time
-
We don't win these games. That's who we are.
-
Watkins dreadful again today
Yeah he's been hopeless. I expect it'll be the fans' fault.
-
Get off you zit face little twat
-
Its about mentality, we are a young team. But same as Newcastle game ; a couple of headed goals against make us being at the loosing end
-
Taking Bailey off doesn’t make the difference as to why they scored.
-
How can that shower do the double over us?
(Poor decision making, not taking chances, gifting easy goals, bad subs) I really have no idea
-
So fifth it is this season
-
speechless
-
Nice try Matt
-
Bringing Diaby on was a waste of time
He's looking like an absolute dud, sorry to say. Can't figure out what's the matter with him.
-
Taking Bailey off doesn’t make the difference as to why they scored.
It took the wind out our sails.
-
We don't win these games. That's who we are.
We have though. We just don’t win them consistently.
-
They've definitely got some voodoo over us. Just fuck off back to London you gurning glory hunting wankers.
-
Tielemans is shit.
-
Its about mentality, we are a young team. But same as Newcastle game ; a couple of headed goals against make us being at the loosing end
Hardly, Martinez, McGinn, Carlos, Moreno, Lenglet, Watkins are all 28 plus.
-
This is the first time Ten Hag has won an away game at a team in the top 9 apparently. Always rely on Villa.
-
We don't win these games. That's who we are.
We have though. We just don’t win them consistently.
No, Man City and Arsenal were free hits. We needed this.
-

(Poor decision making, not taking chances, gifting easy goals, bad subs) I really have no idea
all of the above
-
It went wrong deciding to sit back after equalising. I appreciate Emery is a manager and clearly I’m not but we’ve seen so many Utd games where they’ve picked up a late winner. Seasons ambling in a very typical Villa way. Overachieving early on meant there would always be a chance we would run out of steam which leaves everybody disappointed.
-
So fifth it is this season
6th unless we get defence back
-
Get, that Diaby. FFS.
-
Still have a lot of winnable games this season though. It ain’t over yet
-

Yeah, fucking shite all round.

To be fair, it's bloody United. We always lose.
-
Carlos good game. Cash back ti his usual useless self after some promising signs this game so they put Garnacho over there after Rashford went off
-
diego carlos was rated 80 million once - could he pass then?
-
Carlos you are truly, truly fucking shite.
-
Bollox...
-
Why do Sky let that's like Neville by a co commentator in Man U games. A fuxking apologist for their crimes and an arrogant twat when their cheating pays off
-
Carlos you are truly, truly fucking shite.
I reckon he'll be out the door this summer.
-
It’s on us looking at stats. Can’t piss away that many chances. Ah well. Nice while it lasted and least we are safe
-
Fuck off.
-
That simply isn’t true. I’ve read so much stick for Carlos on here and it’s totally unjustified. There have been far worse players.
-
Fuck off.
Was that aimed at me or in general?
-
nice to see the ref having a friendly chat with the manure manager
-
There's more than a couple of players who are just not good enough. We can't expect to win these type of games carrying so many.
-
Its about mentality, we are a young team. But same as Newcastle game ; a couple of headed goals against make us being at the loosing end
Hardly, Martinez, McGinn, Carlos, Moreno, Lenglet, Watkins are all 28 plus.
A young team in the sense that we are noe used to play as a top 4 team. Also subs did weaken us as; we are having thin squad in regard to top level players
-
Carlos you are truly, truly fucking shite.
I reckon he'll be out the door this summer.
Doubt it unless we pay a load of his wages.
-
Fuck off.
Was that aimed at me or in general?
Life mate!
-
Sliding doors game and we just went through the ‘typical Villa ‘door. We’ll fall away now and drop back into the Europa league spots.
-

Life mate!
It’s shit but fuck manure
-
Fuck off.
Was that aimed at me or in general?
Life mate!
It feels like that! We deserved more out if that.
-
Soooo fucking predictable.
-
So frustrating and so strange.
I’m afraid that one’s on Emery!
-
The Villa Park fortress is collapsing faster than a sandcastle on the incoming tide.
-
I really don’t understand the strolling around the pitch chasing the game. Finally getting back into it then sitting back again. Poor decision making by the coaching staff. It’s frustrating that Emery decided to think that we could see out a draw at home against a team who were 8 points behind us.We’re definitely not ready for the Champions League and that’s become obvious over the last 6 weeks. If we can get 6th it will be a huge achievement and massive porogress.
-
Shattering result that was so important. Neither onwards nor upwards .
-
Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. I expected this result at before the start but we played well enough to have won comfortably.
-
I'm fuming. Not because of the performance, which was largely good after their 1st goal, but for that fucking pathetic decision to take Bailey off when they couldn't cope with him. Emery has been largely brilliant but this is on him today.
-
Fuck off.
Was that aimed at me or in general?
Life mate!
It feels like that! We deserved more out if that.
You get what you deserve. We had enough chances to win half a dozen chances.
-
Sounds like we could and should have won that comfortably? Very frustrating if so.
I tend to think I don't mind losing if we just have a good go. But really it's just as bad.
