Manchester Utd vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Garbage, the team is all over the place, no viable alternatives are really available as most of the summer money on the squad was spunked on utter toss that can barely get in the squad.

I really can't wait for this no mark to fucking get the sack.

The majority of the summer money is on the treatment table.

[Big Dick Edwards]

I actually thought we played reasonably well for much of the game, except in the vital area of the penalty box where we gifted them three of their four goals while simultaneously wasting several good opportunities ourselves.

Who is the defensive coach at Bodymoor?

It amazes me how much space Ciaran Clark finds in the penalty area

You could put a pile of cash in one corner of the pitch and it would have more of an effect on the game. Kozak I've been through before, exactly not what we needed with £7m quid of our money with so many glaring holes elsewhere.

Lambert does not know what he is doing. I get the feeling our wins are despite of him and very rarely because of him. One can only hope that in 12 months times he's getting up and going again with someone elses side.

Those 4 are about £5mill in total.

Just got back.

What a dreadful day. Traffic was awful and so were we. If you don't/can't go to games, count yourself lucky. It's bad enough supporting this discrace of a team but ten times worse witnessing debacle after debacle.

We just get worse and worse.

Palace won.

Are we safe? Are we really?

Over 12 if you throw in Kozak. If you have limited funds you have to maximise how they are spent. They haven't been. Infact he's not good at maximising anything. Out of his depth but the guys at the top are just the same. No decent manager will be hired by these clowns whilst they remain running the show.

Your original point though was most of the summer money was spunked on players who can't get in the squad. Kozak was always in the squad and was scoring a few.

[aj2k77]

No it wasn't, my original point was the money had been spent on

utter toss that can barely get in the squad

If you think we've got good value for money from that investment then good luck to you. I particularly like the signing of Kozak to covrer Benteke, so if plan A of the long hoof to a big man doesn't work we can switch to plan B, bring on Kozak and play long hoofs to a big man.

The summer £20m has been a major fuck up.

I admire your fortitude in going... well done!

I'd trade all of them for one half decent 5 mill player to be honest.
I don't see how most of these cheap signings could offer more than what our academy could produce either.

Again, when fit most of the summer money is in our squad, if not starting 11. Helps if you don't miss out the key part of your post that is incorrect. The only players not now regularly in the squad that were signed in the summer due to ability are Helenius, Luna and Tonev. Which is less than a quarter of our summer spend.

In hindsight we all would. Although approx £1.5m on Steer and Helenius is worth it. Just for the gamble on potential.

Hard to know what to make of that. We gave away poor goals but also missed several good chances. The score line in no way reflected the balance of play.

Really? I thought we were fucking shit as usual. I don't find it hard to know what to make of us at all or Lambert

Benteke could have had 3 and Clark had a clear header from a corner that he should have scored. We made plenty of chances but wasted them. So we were reasonably good going forward. Defensively we were dire but just to dismiss it all as 'fucking shit' is hardly conducive to any sort of proper debate.

What good does proper debate do us Chris? Just how bad does it have to get? And for how long? The whole thing is 'fucking shit', if you want me to ponce it up for you and be all erudite and write long analyses about whether Helenius should be on the subs bench instead of Lowton yada yada yada, then I can do that very easily. Actually, 'fucking shit' as an overall analysis of the whole debacle this club has become is being kind. Sorry
