Manchester United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Nastylee]

No point getting too down, we all expected nothing and we got it. Still doesn't change anything as far as the bigger picture is concerned.

Thought Lichaj did ok considering. Would honestly consider playing Heskey up top for a few games simply to give us a base in the opposing third as the ball just doesn't stick with Weimann and Gabby.

Notwithstanding injuries and illnesses, we have become a very poor side. Today's defeat was no more than expected, and I still think we'll stay up - just. Next season however....

[Fergal]

Sadly we got what we expected, thrashed by a team that never broke sweat.

I'm going to let Darren Woolley speak for me on this. I didn't see the game, I don't know anything about it and I don't want to.

No complaints in many ways I actually thought we were unlucky. Never a pen, unlucky defensive error and a deflection-each time we were beginning to play well and they score.
Promising display from many of the youngsters but clear gap in class was what we expected really.

[Displeased]

Worst I've ever seen us. Changes has to happen or we will drop like a rock. Question is whether Randy places his ego higher then the club?

[rob_bridge]

Fucked over by a team who didn't break sweat. Training game for them/

No heart, no passion, no quality on display from us.

How good are our players - well we need a decent manager to give us a real baseline because the last 2 have been shit, the latter absolutely so.

Positives?

We didn`t concede from a corner

[levico]

Actually I take back my earlier statement - would we have got a point at Sunderland yesterday?

[markeeeebeeee2005]

In the words of Fergie - well done McLeish that was 'remarkable'!

[andyh]

I only caught the last 20 minutes or so. The only positive O can draw is the youngsters look confident and the experience they have gained this season should be an asset next year.

We can't progress with this manager though.

IV, my biggest concern is that what AM is doing will kill thse kids.
There is some real talent there, but he is not developing them, he is exposing them to failure, pressure and blame.
He is going the fuck them up if we are not careful.

Time to drop Gabby and take Gardner out of the firing line?

Well done to everyone who traveled up there. You have my respect.

[regular_john]

It's never going to get any better is it? Short of getting Man City type money we're never going to be capable of competing for anything. The difference in class today between ourselves and United was heartbreaking, we're not just a long way behind the top clubs, we're barely playing the same sport.

edit: Whose fucking stupid idea was the 'post review' that pops up when others have posted before you've sent yours? I've just had to resend this post four times because new replies had been added to the thread while I was typing. What fucking muppet thought that would be a good idea on a busy forum??
