Manchester United v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Goldie.7]

We are playing with 10 men so it's hardly surprising we're losing.

[Risso]

Need much more from Emi B and JJ if we want anything from this game

Yes, they've been poor.  Buendia especially.

I don't think this is the sort of game that suits Buendia. I'd bring Bert on to give us an out ball.

[Bad English]

The referee blows for HT.

7th may 1984.  the last time man united lost at home whilst leading at HT.

over to you Villa  (prays!)

Are you serious?! Fucking hell...I was in utero.

[SoccerHQ]

Second half where we're going to have to take some risks.

We've been comfortable but they're still getting to the edge of the box no problem with a couple of quick passes.

Midfielders are taking way too long on the ball, Ramsey seems to think he can hold onto it for 20 minutes out there. We need quick give and go's as Moreno getting a cross into space looks our best bet for a goal.

Fucking hell. That's some stat

United not looking tired atm

They win the ball in midfield and drop it over the top quickly then we're in trouble.

[devilla]

Ooh lovely lingering shots of the rat faced weasel fucker as they walk off. Delightful.

[PaulWinch again]

Dreadful, absolutely awful. The only saving grace is it’s only 1-0. We have been miles off it and they have completely bossed the game. For the first time in a while we look like a group of strangers without a plan. Get it turned around Unai.

I think I'd bring on the Duran and try to get amongst their defenders.  Poor half.

[OzVilla]

In fairness they deserve to be ahead.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Missed the first 20 but what I have seen has been poor, sloppy all over the pitch and a lack on concentration.
Thought Emi could have done better with the Rashford shot but we’ve not deserved anything so far. Big second half needed.

They won’t do because they basically can do what they want. They’re not facing anything at the moment.

[Risso]

We need to get control of the midfield because Ramsey and Buendia have been invisible. Buendia drops too deep to very litttle effect.
