Aston Villa v Manchester United Match Thread

Hey Sam theMouse,careful mate,saying things like that about Lambert won't go down to well with a lot of the posters on here

It's true though. His tactics are mystifying. Luna has been torn a new one all afternoon, yet there's been no response of any kind, no attempt to provide him with protection, and he's not been subbed. What does he expect to happen?

Luna  was shit against Ben Arfa and andros townsend too.

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

I feel so much better , thanks

 Oh yes me too! That's a whole bunch better knowing that it is the right of Man Utd to beat us and us not to even look competitive!!
Thank god for that !! I was foolishly expecting we should try in every game!

I can see Sheffield knocking us out the cup

[PaulWinch again]

Fundamentally, our problem is that we've got too many players who aren't good enough.

It's not just about Man United, either. Often, we'll be playing poorer sides and still manage to look like a plucky lower division side playing a cup tie against a PL giant.

That's it, I think the younger players from lower league teams and low key foreign players experiment is not proving massively successful.

Yep and again, no action. Lambert doesn't react.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I hope that's the last we ever see of KEA.

[SamTheMouse]

Oh well. They're a good bunch of lads, eh?

[ez]

Lambert has definitely been found out at this level, without the confidence of successive promotions that Norwich had he seems clueless as to how he wants us to go about winning a game. We look like a shite Championship team full of graft that's just been promoted.

In the premier league there's not much to suggest he's a good manager. Like his players, We're hoping he improves but worried he won't.

[supertom]

Christ KEA is slow. He should have got that ball easily.

[hilts_coolerking]

Probably THE most childish stance to take on any forum.

It's no more childish than the 'bed wetters' 'wrist slashing' schtick.

[supertom]

Commentator just compared Bacuna with Valencia. That's incredibly kind indeed.

[Marton]

17-13 in attempts. In our favor. How they figure that?

[Matt Collins]

I just can't stress how important it is that we get vlaar back or get an experienced player in to cover that position. It's just so so important. We've looked like last season's side as soon as he's been injured.

Surely even a loan player would be such an obvious signing. But then it was last winter too

[pooligan]

Plumbutt Cooper ,give it a rest  .You should change your name to Tommy Cooper

Losing 3-0 is bad, to make it worse it looks like we're not going to score. A consolation goal would be something but we're not going to get that.

[Tuscans]

C'mon lads let this be of no surprise. I think 60 odd percent of us had it down for a Utd win with numbers of 3,4 and 5 being branded about.

We move on! )
