Aston Villa v Newton Heath LYR Pre-Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

well we will obviously play as the away team playing on the counter attack . I think we could start off ok but will drop deeper and deeper and deeper .

So expecting 0-4

or 2-3


give Albrighton a go - got to be better than andi . Get Lowton RB , throw Herd in midfield .   Is Ron fit , lets hope .

I hate this game

[JUAN PABLO]

p.s  we will need 3

2-0 Villa (Sylla, Ashley Young OG)

Can't see anything other than a Man U win here. We're largely crap at home, they have lost their last two and have major players back from injury and suspension, while we will probably still have a few out.

[rougegorge]

In the last 18 years, we've had many much better sides than the current one and they've all failed to beat them at home. Since 95, won 1 drawn 9 lost 25 in the league, not to mention all the cup defeats. A dreadful record and I can't see us bucking the trend.

That record is pathetic

brilliant. nicked and has been used elsewhere. Will only assign credit accordingly if life is threatened.

You have to think one day it has to start to change. That is terrible though.

Mrs TV bought a vase the other day and I looked at it and it reminded me of Man U, sat middle of the table.

FWIW, I dont think Big Ron returning would make a fat lot of difference in this one. As is often the case, I fear we'll be on the arse end of a backlash, especially from Rooney, who will almost certainly score. Twice.

As others have said, they do look soft in midfield and our best hope might be to focus on that battle and see what pans out. Seeing as Herd and Sylla are our only fit midfielders prepared to put the boot in, I'd play em both, with KEA. Then stick Bacuna on the right and Gabby on the left. Benteke up front.

Back four prob Lowton, Clark, Baker, and whoevers fit enough.


Albrighton and Weimann could have impact off the bench as the game goes on perhaps? Both lively, and their defence looked short of pace V Everton.

[Nastylee]

United are playing poorly losing two on the bounce. What's the tonic for any team suffering poor form? Play the Villa! As such, expect Moyes to go home smiling.

[PeterWithesShin]

It is worth remembering that Manure are so poor that two weeks ago they spanked in 5 away to Leverkusen, who I am pretty sure are a lot better than us.

[Steve kirk]

Don't think we will get battered but it will almost certainly be a routine United win.

Don't think we will get battered but it will almost certainly be a routine United win.

I'm clingling to the hope that they don't do routine anymore.
