I don't feel good about that back four. Was really hoping Pau would start.

We rushed Torres back too soon last time. Still 14 games after today so no point taking any unnecessary chances.

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

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.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Man United Match Thread
Post by: Percy McCarthy on February 11, 2024, 03:58:07 PM
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.

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.

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?
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Man United Match Thread
Post by: Baldy on February 11, 2024, 04:04:08 PM
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.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Man United Match Thread
Post by: markeeeebeeee2005 on February 11, 2024, 04:04:50 PM
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.

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.

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.

Post by: Lastfootstamper on February 11, 2024, 04:24:32 PM
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
