Aston Villa 1-0 Sheffield United Post Match Thread

Thankfully there wont be many games this season where we will have that much of the ball.

Predictable, no magic. McGinn? Where's the old McGinn gone?

Injury maybe?  Or perhaps he's just not that good.

Let’s not forget he was out for a long, long time before we crucify him.

Perhaps he is just a championship player

movement was non existent

It goes without saying that 3 points are welcome, but that was terrible.  McGinn played as if he'd been dragged out of the pub, to make up an 11.

I think Ramsey may well get a game. I think SJM will get sharper after a couple of games though.

As I feared, no real improvement on last season except we are two points up and seem to have found a very competent keeper. 

After the weekend goal feast it was almost inevitable we'd be involved in a  low scoring bore-fest.   I'll take a few wins like that if that's what it takes but fuck me we need a rocket up us.

SKY dropped us Straight away.

Fair enough, we didn’t want any interviews, analysis anyway.

It’s the game of the century everyone, Wolves v Man City.

Happy not to have that performance analysed.

I do worry about the latter.

I think one of the issues is that we don’t have any players, other than Jack, who can take on and beat a player consistently

We are just so slow moving the ball. It’s just goes side to side and back. Nobody even with space in front of them drives forward with the ball and takes men on. That would draw out their players and create angles for forward passes..

McGinn looks worryingly like a championship player And is starting like he finished last season. I’m not sure what his role in the team is. Conor unlucky to get hooked. Notice him throwing his water bottle down behind the goal after he was subbed and 10 seconds later we scored!

Ultimately 3 points. Great start to the season

Sign of a title-winning side.

[Jon Crofts]

We’ve spent getting on for £200 million in the past year or so and we still have Neil Taylor on the bench. Criminal.

Cant blame United for their tactics after the red card. They defended in numbers but the fact is we did  break through and we were also down to 10 men at the time.

[Border villan]

SMJ was at the far post early on for the cross from Cash, yes he did fade after that but like the rest of the team you can only beat the opposition who turn up.

Onwards and upwards.

Agree with all of that, hopefully Traore can be the man to give us a threat down the opposite flank.

I think I'll save my rank disappointment, misery and gloomy outlook until the back end of the season and hope that I never use it.

Jeez 1st game of season and we won.  It will do me!
