Aston Villa v Manchester United Match Thread

[Hampshire Villa]

We are just poor. We really need to sort something out.. I can see no improvement. Glad I chose to see the Quo tonight instead of driving all the way up there and back!

Don't repeat this but I think I'd rather watch Quo than the Villa today.

Just got to get up to the O2 - fortunately my mate has a VIP box so will get fed!  We are so poor, and it is the same every week!.

Not all Luna's fault United are doubling up on him constantly and he is getting no help

Fair point. It's a huge problem with Lambert's system - we have three in the middle, all getting in each other's way, and great swathes of empty pitch down the flanks for the opposition to attack our full backs. Albrighton is drifting wide on the right and giving Lowton a bit of cover, plus he's giving Evra something to think about. But we have sod all on the left in front of Luna.

Is Gabby still on?

The best we can hope for now is to establish a pattern of play for the next few games. Possibly 4231 with albrighton right, Weimann central and gabby left

And positions for kea, baker and luna to be slipped out as soon as possible

I'd rather sleep Subo with than watch this

It's almost too late to sack Lambert now. Any replacement needs the January transfer window, so if he's going, he has to go after this result really. But it's academic, because he won't go, or be sacked.

[Tuscans]

Get down Junusjaiziaioa

[eastie]

palace will give us a game ;(

Accrington Stanley would give us a game

[Smirker]

Team needs massive investment to be honest.

[Fergal]

Listening on Talkshite it sounds like we have given up.

[JUAN PABLO]

isnt it finshed yet  - its dragging on

[Tuscans]

No matter how bad Utd are these days, we're still playing them....it's not as if we're losing to Aldershot

[Hampshire Villa]

...... But  to all the sack Lambert campaigners , who is going to come to us!, no money to spend, maybe Benteke will go for a fair price and we can get some quality instead of all youngsters!
Why oh Why didn't we take Gareth Barry, look how well he's doing at Everton

[paulcomben]

A flukey consolation for Benteke off his shin might give something to build on over Christmas.

Looks like Tom Daley is coming on!
