Villa v Manchester United pre-match thread

[sid1964]

Unfortunately can only see 1 result and it is not us winning - 0-3

Whenever we play Utd I always think of the Graydon cross to a leaping Andy Gray at the far post (for me that was a goal of football beauty)

[Axl Rose]

9 or 10 nil to them.

[OzVilla]

I just want us to be bold, have a crack and see what happens.  Currently we are going down without really laying a glove on anyone. We have to be more unpredictable, give teams something to think about. If that means 5-3-3 with Barry and Samatta up front with AEG out wide then so be it - just dont be so utterly, mindnumbingly pedestrian FFS.

             Reina

         Hause Mings
Guilbert                  Konsa
               Luis
McGinn                AEG
              Grealish

        Samatta  Barry

Standard, very Aston Villa goal in each half, 0-2 away win.

[CT]

Head says 0-5.

Heart says we’ll somehow be in a promising position and they’ll turn it around late on.

This terrible run against Man U at VP has to end one day..
Please let it be on Thursday!

Watford and Norwich will end 2-2 aswell.

[Duncan Shaw]

This is the watershed - a hammering we will not recover from, another tight defeat will maybe keep some confidence.  I fear the former.

[Risso]

Liverpool were on the beach, and still beat us without breaking sweat.  Man U need to win to try and catch Chelsea in 4th, and also stay ahead of Wolves.  In Fernandes, they probably have the most in form player in the Premier League.  Only one way this is ending.

[JUAN PABLO]

at least we have trezeguet

[Three Spires Villa]

Do we have to, nothing to us a few to them

[Allan C]

I’m gonna be optimistic here and go for a 0-0. I think it’s hope rather than optimism though

[Billy Walker]

They might be on form and scoring freely but Bournemouth managed to score twice against them the other day meaning there is a definite fragility at the back that we can aim to exploit.  I don't want to see a repeat of the Chelsea game - let's just go for it.  Get Louie Barry involved in the squad from now onwards, too.

2-0 up with 15 minutes to go all singing, 'there's only one Ian Taylor.'  82 minutes 2-3 with them all singing 'there's only one Ian Taylor.'

Let’s try again....

Surely we must be due one of those unexpected, shock results? Surely?

[Nev]

A fairly predictable reverse.

0-2
