Newton Heath LYR v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Legion]

Available Tuesday night.

[mal]

Bah.

[Rigadon]

Can't concede sloppy first minute goals there and expect anything else than a beating.

Makoun looks quality.

Bent did what Bent does.

[Olneythelonely]

Defensively awful, but going forward and in possession we looked good I thought.

[dean saunders left boot]

The way i'm looking at this is that utd are unbeaten in the league this season and have only drawn one at Old Trafford, so for us to have got a result, even a draw, would have been massive. The Fact that we've lost is no massive surprise, and definitely not something i'm too worried about, we've not put in a dreadful performance, and i'm sure we can get back to winning ways against Fulham.

[Holtenderinthesky]

Shot ourselves in the foot by conceding at the worst possible times.  1st minute, stroke of HT and immediately after we scored to get back in it.  Not good enough.

[Risso]

Far too comfortable for them.  This 4-5-1 thing just doesn't work, and hasn't worked all season.  Can we try something else please?  Oh and Dunne is back to his fat, shit worst after a brief respite.

[Goldie.7]

I've seen better tbh.

If it weren't for Brad the scoreline could have got embarrassing!

[Ger Regan]

Beaten by the better team, but plenty of positives to take out of it.

Another goal for Bent, one clear cut chance, one goal.

Makoun looks the real deal. Very classy on the ball, a few more games and he could be some player.

Plenty to build on.

[Grande Pablo]

We weren't awful, but their quality showed.  Not embaressed - let's move on & keep winning.

[hawkeye]

it looked like we were beaten before we got off the coach

[Risso]

And why Bannan wasn't brought on, I will never understand.  Shocking.

[hipkiss92]

Not surprised we lost tbh, but I would love to know why we spent the last 5 minutes passing it across the halfway line over and over again as if we were defending a lead?

[Jimbo]

Was never in doubt from the first second, never mind the 54th second. They were in complete control for all of the match. We had absolutely nothing to worry them and they toyed with us like a sick kitten. When we did go close to redressing the balance, when they needed a goal, they merely plucked it from the trees. They never broke sweat and they made us look like what we are, lower mid-table chaff.

Positives: Makoun had a good game. He looks like a clever player, with vision and the ability to keep hold of a football.

Bent's goal gives him a 1 in 2 ratio, which is nice.

Wholly expected result and now the hard work continues of avoiding relegation.

Makoun played well.

Dunne, Petrov and Downing were cack.

Need a win Saturday.
