Aston Villa v Manchester United Post-Match Thread

[London Villan]

We were torn apart down the left for most of the game - nothing done. We are 2-0 down at half time - nothing done. Giggs is bossing the game  spraying passes everywhere - nothing done. Baker is injured and needs treatment - nothing done... I could go on and on.

How do we see it and he can't.

[JUAN PABLO]

The most predictable result and scoreline in the history of sport.

It tells us nothing we don't already know.

that we are full of limp dicks

[Ron Manager]

This is beginning to look like 66-68 after Tony Hateley took his many goals elsewhere. The only bright spark today for us was Albrighton who showed no end of determination. There were no creditable displays from anyone else. Trouble is we expected this result didnt we?

Lambert is in imminent danger of becoming the new TSM so awful are our displays both individually and collectively.

He likes to play the hard man but if you are losing matches that doesnt work. He doesnt appear to have much tactical intelligence at all which doesnt augur well for what might be a relegation battle after Xmas.

The fans who had a lot of goodwill for this manager are starting to turn in droves... and who can blame them!

[Mortimer's Bear]

I have to say that although the football on the pitch was utterly woeful, what's the point in selling out our magnificent stadium then sitting there in silence listening to them horrible twats making all the noise for 90 minutes?

Just what has happened to the atmosphere down there?

We could have brought Baker off and not replaced him with anyone and we would have probably been better off.

Good point SamTheMouse about us having a 5 or 6 million pound player on the bench most games,dont forget though, that we also  have a 18 million pound striker on loan at Fulham .The way things are going there is every chance he could start getting the goals to keep them up at our expense

[JUAN PABLO]

And come to think of it, isn't it a bit ridiculous that as a club which now wants to do things on the tightest budget possible, we have a 5 or 6 million quid striker sitting on the bench regularly?
 
I mean, we're lacking quality in a number of positions. Last season, our best outfield player was a striker. So why spend so much of your very limited funds buying another one, when it's your midfield and defence that are struggling?

good point

Well indeed, this is no comment on Kozak but couldn't that money of been better spent elsewhere?

It's between us and West Ham for the most boring in the division title, hardly condusive to any kind of atmosphere.

[JUAN PABLO]

It's actually quite amazing when you think about it that we're still in the league and mid table with some of performances we've seen over the last few years. In terms of quality, the premier league has gone down the toilet. There are so many poor sides.

our one saving grace

Apathy rules!

Imagine the shit Ellis would have got if he was still in charge and we were churning out this shit every home match. It would be carnage. Lerner gets away with it scot free though for some bizarre reason.

[Fin Feds Dad]

God,  that was bad.

Clueless all over the pitch , having a limited paper thin squad is coming home to roost .

Poor purchases for too many years is killing us.

Quite possibly the worst midfield 3 I have ever seen in a villa shirt .

Time to start asking questions about Mr Mumbles .

Possibly because people don't know whether he is there at the game?

Did you notice they made  a big point of that when attendance was announced by clapping and singing " they all come to see united"?

[Deano's Mullet]

I haven't looked at the fixtures, I know Palace is up next at home. Who do we have next week?
