Manchester United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Analysis

[LukeJames]

How the fuck is it even possible to go 0-1 up and then 19 seconds later you have 2 attackers through on your goal? That high line was suicidal.

[Monty]

It would've been better to find out another way, but I'm pretty sure Emery has found out a lot about this squad.

Let’s hope it doesn’t take him a year in charge to realise though that some players are not up to it.

[markeeeebeeee2005]

I was watching with a few friends and so didn’t really tune into the tactics properly as we were chatting.

I think Emery wanted a look at the wider squad, which is understandable. I think what he will have found out is that while he can put out a decent first 11 as he saw at the weekend, he has no depth of quality. Hopefully he widens the quality in the squad and ships out some of those who aren’t up to it.

I feel like it’s time to call it a day with Olsen, McGinn, Watkins and Ings for a start. But shipping out players isn’t easy particularly when they’re on good money and probably need to drop down a level.

I find it VERY strange that supporters get upset and have a knock at those of us that find it alarming that a man who said a few days ago he wants to win a cup at Aston Villa plays a weakened team away to Man Utd who were there for the taking. Martinez should have been included and with only ONE fixture left before the world cup what did we have to lose (unless they were 'resting' players incase they get injured and could not play for their country )  if so that's a disgrace and a bloody insult to the 8,000 + who spent their money going all the way up there to watch that embarrassing CRAP and a comedy show from the Goalkeeper. Lose Sunday and it's 1 win from 3 and not looking good before the return.

Fans and the club bang on about our illustrious history yet it seems they want to throw away the cups at the first sight . We aren't getting into Europe through the league anytime soon and that's a FACT. We should be going all out in the league cup FFS

I understand resting some players when we have another important game in a few days.

I dont understand why the keeper needs to be rested.

I understand giving instruction to play out from the back.

I don’t understand not reversing that instruction when it is obvious from the first half that the keeper is incapable of doing that safely.

What did you think of Emery's team and tactics at Villa Park on Saturday? Were you happy with the win over Manchester United?

[dutchvilla]

I think picking Olsen and McGinn was understandable if wrong. For me, the biggest deadweight is Ings. Archer would have been better.

Piss off you troll, you don't deserve to be debated with. You clearly only turn up when things aren't going well, you post in bad faith and try and wind people up.
There's enough of this in the world as it us with having this fine forum sullied.

He’s a proven finisher but seems to do so little outside the box.

I’ll have a knock at expectations from 10 days a win over manure and us not winning anything then suddenly we are gonna win the cup as being out of step with reality.
What is a FACT is this is a forum where opinions differ yet you seem to constantly be on the wind up.
I will restate my opinion. I’m not happy we lost but would rather stay up and push for a cup next season after allowing emery to build his squad and tactics than to go all out in a cup run then get relegated. To think is fans don’t want to win a cup......
It’s fans like you and the 1 win in three nonsense that deserve calling out as it’s delusional. He has been here 11 days.

[ironmaidenmania]

I have no real problem with the team that he picked. It's understandable that he wants to view the whole squad in real games rather than just on the training pitch.

He will have learned a hell of a lot last night, and will know exactly who can and will play, and who he'll cut loose.

Olsen was awful - 3rd choice keeper once at Sheffield Utd and nowhere near the level of a back up. McGinn was far and away the worst outfield player and should be moved on to a championship team in January. I felt a little for Ings because he is a proven goal scorer but we created nothing in that first half, saying that Archer should have started so Emery could see him in action. Same for Sanson.

We could have won this game with the players that started 0-1 and 1-2 but threw it away with some comical defending and keeping.

I didn't think this was a winnable cup this season and the Brighton game is far more important because we are still in a relegation battle.

However, January can't come soon enough.

We have a quality manager who will put this right but not without changes and certainly not in 7 days.

He's a parody of that SilhillVilla fella who used to post on here

[The Edge]

He picked the team he did for a reason. Of course he would love to go on and win the competition but the bigger picture is he has to assess the squad and make judgements before he can expect the owners to shell out millions on replacements. He's now in a better position to tell the owners the state of the squad. Even if he did go with his best 11 there's no guarantees of a win and a risk of injuries. His brief will be to make sure of our PL status at all costs. We're perilously close to the relegation zone and that really must be his priority.
