Aston Villa v Manchester United Match Thread

[OCD]

I think Benteke will be happy to see Albrighton in the team. Maybe Lowton too.

Nervous as all hell, I'll be watching on TV today so good luck to all those at Villa Park. Roar the Lions home!

Not nervous - i don't expect anything here so whatever we get will be a pleasant bonus , happy with this line up though.

Knowing us we will get battered, but that really is a fucking shit Manure line-up.

Is Vidic injured?

[Tuscans]

MUFC: De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Jones, Evra, Valencia, Cleverley, Giggs, Januzaj, Rooney, Welbeck

WOW! In all honesty that would of been a League Cup team Fergie would of put out.

[eastie]

Im starting to fear Vlaars injury could turn out to be a long one again as last year - nothing to lose here so lets have a go at these tossers.

[PeterWithesShin]

Unless he is injured, Herd is a bit unlucky to be potted straight back out the squad I reckon.

Cleverely and Giggs in midfield, yikes that is poor. They will still probably give our duo the runaround though

Not wrong there....

Manure subs: Ferdinand, Lindegaard, Young, Fabio, Fletcher, Büttner, Zaha

Off to watch Aah-Stone-Vee-lah again..vs Menchesteer in a min down the Pegasus/flying Horse bar. Moyes is a worried chap today!  He needs to be!

I'm assuming it's an injury. I dunno why Lambo would intentionally leave us short of defensive cover on the bench, and still keep Bowery on the bench. Herdy played well in the last game so would warrant a place at least on the bench.

Villa win. My tortoise says so.

[supertom]

Manure subs: Ferdinand, Lindegaard, Young, Fabio, Fletcher, Büttner, Zaha

That's quite a poor bench too. I don't know how Fabio gets anywhere near a Premiership starting 11, let alone Utd's. Same goes for Buttner.

Re Vlaar - if is a long one this winter we simply have to get an experienced centre half in. Lescott on loan running up to the world cup would be the best bet then re-visit in the summer.
