Aston Villa v Manchester United Match Thread

[boboonthecorner]

Our defence is absolutely fucking shit, it really is. I thought McLeish specialised in defending???

[ez]

oh well

[citizenDJ]

What the hell sort of defending was that?! How long are these two/three going to be allowed to continue?

[Astral Weeks]

Fucking hell, great marking. Who thinks we'll score at least twice now?

[Risso]

Another shocker from the central defence.  I absolutely cannot wait to see the back of that pair.

[TonyD]

Jesus that was easy for them.

What we playing 4.5.1 or 4.4.1.1??

[JUAN PABLO]

Cant see any of the game ....      not a set piece again was it

He does. Just think how fucking terrible we'd be if he tried to get us to attack.

[kippaxvilla2]

Never mind the defending what is the fukin point of playing such an attacking line up and once again sitting back.  Have they ever not scored against us at Villa playing this method....tosser.

[TheSandman]

We've picked a more positive line up but we're still being quite negative on the pitch. The defence really is not very good at all, sadly and that's what tends to cost us.

[Archie]

Hutton, Dunne and Collins, well done!
And Clarke on the bench. . .

[paulcomben]

Hutton AWOL to let the cross get in.

[Astral Weeks]

Jesus that was easy for them.

What we playing 4.5.1 or 4.4.1.1??

Anybody's guess.

[Fergal]

Why can't Carlos get a game?

[ian c.]

Sitting back and defending and hitting teams on the break is a decent tactic if you can:

a) defend
b) pass the ball quickly and accurately forwards towards the opponents goal.

Unfortunately we can do neither.
