The Magnificent Aston Villa vs Man United Match Thread

Dean needs to swap shirts with Blind.

[Deano's Mullet]

Teams like utd always look they will score at least one a match regardless of how they play. We make it seem like an almighty effort.

I'm dreading us still being crap after all these signings.

I know im going to hate Ayew

That's the spirit!

i hope he makes me eat my words

[Dante Lavelli]

Ayew does not look like a striker.  He looks better when he runs from deep. 
Potentially a good inside forward?

And the smug twats go away with their usual 3 points.

He looks like a Gabby clone with slightly better technique. We could do with a striker.

[Malandro]

I's pretending we beat them and lost to Bournmouth

[Jon Crofts]

Fuck the fuckers. I hope their fans all get stuck in operation stack on the M20 the fuckers.

[Axl Rose]

Bollocks

Ayew was better than Rooney at least

Difficult to win when we don't have any shots on target and the ref's playing for ManUre as well

[Ron Manager]

Why was Sinclair taken off?

[saint13]

It was an awful game. Both teams looked unfit and sluggish. Rooney was abysmal. One of the worst Utd teams I have ever seen and one that wouldn't have beaten many teams playing like that. Like so many Villa sides of the last 20 years we looked happy to lose 1-0 against them. That is worrying for us. We looked like a team of strangers and very light weight in midfield and attack. We had no creativity. Their goalie, (who is a bag of nerves) only had to throw his cap on one Gabby header. This was despite Man U presenting us with the ball in their half on 6 to 8 occasions. Like everyone else I am mystified what the manager sees in Gabby. Years ago he was young and rubbish, now he is old and rubbish and a stone overweight by modern footballer standards.
Albeit early days, I am not wowed by Ayew for the money we paid, (his brother looked better for Swansea last week on a free). The other 2 midfield players we have bought were no better and I remain unconvinced. I hope they are not Jean Makoun and/or Yacuba Silla revisited. Bacuna is not good enough. I like Gestede & Richards and the left back looks very good. We definitely need better players or the best we can achieve is bottom half of the table.  I would have liked him to try & get Huddlestone from Hull. we will wait & see...
