Aston Villa v Manchester United Match Thread

[OCD]

No Jamie, Westwood never came on against the Baggies and changed the game!!!

They were there for Monday Night Football too.

[PeterWithesShin]

Seems we are the WM game. I can't wait to listen their commentary.

I challenge you to make the end without having the urge to punch Franks in the head.

If I had the choice i'd rather listen to MUFC radio than WM!

afternoon

happy with the team

not sure why Bowery is on the bench especially with kozak there .

Lets hope Albrighton plays like he did a few seasons ago against them

COME ON VILLA

[Marton]

Lowton, Clark, Baker , Luna....its like the Maginot Line. You can walk around it at will and it will surrender at first sign of trouble...

[Monty]

That's pretty much the right team, I think we'll all agree. However, I forgot they had Januzaj, so, you know, ah bollocks.

Pleased to see Albrighton given the chance, hope he takes it - but if he doesn't I don't want to see him re-dropped for Weimann next game (unless he has a complete catastrophe). Weimann's had a good long run in the side and Marc deserves one too, and a first start in ages against Man Utd is a tough ask.

[enigma]

What must Helenius do to get on the bench?

Anyway, not really expecting to win this but looking at the line ups I can't really see anything to really worry us. Easily the worst Man Utd side I've seen in years.

[Tuscans]

We all expected Man. City to smash us....in terms of possession they did....and lost.

I'll take that against these thanks.

[JUAN PABLO]

no Hernadez cool  - 

[paulcomben]

Just had an illogical random wave of optimism about this. But, Albrighton & Lowton are not PL match fit and must keep Januzaj & Giggs quiet over on that side.

Giggs will be in the centre won't he?

Yes, left of centre and interplaying with the kid.

Lowton, Clark, Baker , Luna....its like the Maginot Line. You can walk around it at will and it will surrender at first sign of trouble...

Better than last weekend's back 4 at least.

[Tuscans]

COME ON VILLAAAAAAAA

[PaulWinch again]

No look forward to this, but come on Villa.

[Hampshire Villa]

I'd be content with a draw!

[Matt Collins]

It is a poor looking united side. I assume we must be 433. Reasonably happy given our choices

Imagine Gardner coming on and scoring the winner. . .

I think they'll come out fighting (united) however, and our defence doesn't look robust does it? Midfield needs to get close to Rooney as his movement can cause all of our back four all sorts of problems with his movement

[aj2k77]

Our midfield looks like what i'd expect a Wigan one to look like. No quality in there at all. Hopefully catch them on the break today, I can see a few goals.
