Aston Villa v Manchester United Post-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

I don't have the energy to be negative tonight, so I'll be as positive as I can.

We are completely inept in almost every way.

That's way to positive.

We are completely inept in every way.

I disagree because I'm not going to include Bent and Gabby in this. They are two very good forwards who are receiving no help at all. I also excuse Given. The rest very much including the management team are hideous beyond words.

The sporting equivalent of watching paint dry. A squad of players so disjointed and so clearly poorly coached that they were incapable of stringing more than a couple of passes at a time together. A lone quality striker left like a boy lost whilst the players are camped miles behind him.
We are just horrible, horrible to watch.

AM is killing this club. His negative, bland football is simply an insult  to all those who pay to watch.  I can't stand seeing him on the touchline representing Aston Villa Football Club. At no stage in that game did we try and take control. I've seen some crap football over the years at Villa, but none as boring and almost impossible to watch as that under AM. The only surprise is that Man Utd only scored once. Truly shocking!

This is becoming the depressing norm now,we didnt expect McCleishs team to play like Barca,but at least i expected them to have fight and organization.

Just dont see what our game plan was or is,he's making an average team look really woeful,and he's gonna be here for a while.

Truly the poorest attitude to games I have ever seen from a Villa team. There is no passion, no idea, no spark, not a fucking clue. McLeish has to go. He is more inept than any manager I have ever seen. Totally and utterly fucking gutless. The manager is wrong, the tactics are wrong and the whole atmosphere is rotten. Relegation could be a blessing come may, clear the decks, because there are very few players who are good enough in this squad, and the spine of the team is so poor it is rediculous.

Gabby - Play him up with Bent, give them a chance, he is not a left winger and is our biggest threat!!!
Dunne/ Collins - Please sell them both ASAP, they symbolise all that is rotten, buy a top right sided centre back or play Clark and Cuellar, they can't be worse.

Warnock - I would pay to never see him in a villa shirt again.

Hutton - no comment.

Heskey - Oh dear.

Jenas - clearly a good player in him somewhere, but stupidly injury prone and not a wide man, and seemed way too left today.

The rest are worth keeping and building on, but the spine, core, heartbeat of the side is all wrong. Getting the ball to Bent is a must, and we are totally clueless of how to achieve that.

[Lambert and Payne]

That was absolute shite. We never looked threatening, we never looked comfortable in possesion, we were fucking woeful. I really don't care right now. A bunch of tossers on 40k a week coulnt be arsed today and its nothing new.
I was one of the few who defended the appointment of McLeish, but the last few weeks have been shite, we play shite football and were uninterested. I know it was against man u, I didn't expect to win but I expected some fight from us
Merry fucking christmas

I really do fear we are for the drop as I cannot see how AM can turn this boat around.  Lets face it, he hasn’t exactly got a good track record of keeping teams up even when they have just won a cup.  The club has hit rock bottom but Alex is still digging.  ManU will not have an easier game for the next 100 years.

[Brian Taylor]

Well it wasn't a cricket score..more an open sore.

[The Man With A Stick]

I've only just got back from the cinema, did we win?

[curiousorange]

I had a great time. I spent most of the match in bed with the missus.

[Goldie.7]

Over a month and no goals or wins not to mention the last win was dubious to say the least!

[ozzjim]

Kevin Keegan spot on - most disappointing home display since ESPN have been covering football. Even Kevin Keegan, with all his tactical ineptness, can see how shocking the tactics are going forward.
