ManYoo vs Aston Villa Post Match Thread.

[PaulWinch again]

I reckon if Sherwood remains in charge then Gil's Villa career is over.

[Mister E]

Fookin Bitters. That's the critical result of today.
Our result no great surprise, really.

[CT]

Hope the QPR result works for us in a way. We normally end other teams losing runs, or long sequences home / away without a win.

Hopefully they'll think they are a bit better than they really are.

Tuesday is absolutely huge for us.

[supertom]

The pretty routine bi-annual belly tickling from Utd.

I don't think it would be an understatement to say that we need a huge squad overhaul. There's far too much dross.
We need at least 11 new first team players. It's that bad.
Guzan, Okore, Clark, Hutton, Delph, Benteke are first teamers (at a push). The rest are either not good enough or far too injury prone.

Take the matches. Put the club up in flames, collect the insurance money and start again from scratch.

[Smirker]

Gil simply has to start. We cannot keep playing creatively bankrupt players like Weimann.

[curiousorange]

That's the thing - today was really about what others did. Villa always get turned over whether they play well at Old Trafford or they're abject. Had the Baggies actually walked it like they talked it we'd probably be saying 'On to Tuesday' right now. We're still at home, still playing a team with a crap away record and still capable of winning these pressure games.

[Axl Rose]

How I wish Rooney would disappear. An annoying, dirty ******. Fuck off Villa with your boring apprehensive, far too much respect, ineffective, crap football

[lovejoy]

Actually thought we did ok in the most part. You just get no decisions at OT, Rooney dive and dissent, holding up play at the end. The refs are too scared to give decisions against them.

Tuesday massive though.

[villadelph]

It's hard to describe how angry I am right now. Didn't have any sort of expectations going into the game but how we played was simply appalling.

The lack of anticipation and incredible inability to pass to our own was our downfall. It blows my mind how professional footballers are literally incapable of possessing the football. How on earth has Andi Weimann made it this far in his career, the boy offers nothing unless he's full speed on goal and given a pass out in front of him.

Joe Cole (regardless of his assist) coming on over Gil really angers me.

I thought the back four played pretty well considering the constant pressure they were under. The midfield could not for the life of them retain the ball, and Benteke just could not hold the ball up.

Thought the referee was really poor. Also, I don't think I have ever seen a player celebrate more vigorously against a former club then Ashley Young, absolute piece of shit.

All the clubs we needed to lose won. We better step it up for QPR, I'm sick of giving the benefit of the doubt to these "professionals" because quite frankly some people out there embarrassed themselves today. Has to be better, it has to.

I think Sherwood prefers 100mph, Prem breed players, for better or worse.
Gil may turn it around in pre-season, but it's not looking good for him.

[dorsetvillian]

So much for going to Old Trafford and play on the front foot. I thought Utd were terrible in the second half and Villa just didn't have the belief to go after the game. Very dissapointed with Sherwood's team selection and set up as I really thought we might have a go today.  Tuesday night is now massive. I'm nervous already.

[rob_bridge]

We go again.

7 cup finals.

In fairness to Andi he was better than Benteke and Gabby today. He's a poor player of course but he's a trier. Benteke looked half asleep today and a fortuitous goal out of nothing can't mask an abject display. Too many more like that and I honestly would care if we fucked him off for 20 pence and a second hand copy of razzle.

[curiousorange]

I'm not bothered about the team selection, apart from the non use of Gil, which is mystifying. But tactically it's the same as it ever was - 'sorry, Mr Van Gaal, sir; can we play on your lawn please?' It's a joke how easy it is for them. One of the least celebrated United squads in decades and we hardly make a dent.

It's the most disappointing line up he's put out yet. Furthermore, he's normally been pretty decent with subs, but today was wretched. Baker for Zogbia was a bad call. He'd have been better off putting Baker in for Hutton to start with and making an attacking sub for Zogbia.

Gil and Grealish must have been scratching there heads. Cole came on and despite a fortunate assist was largely ineffective and as per usual was breathing out his arse after 5 minutes.
