Manchester United v Aston Villa Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

United not looking tired atm

To be fair they didn't against spuds until second half and was 2 up.

[JUAN PABLO]

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

Where's the shot of red nose as usual

[SoccerHQ]

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.

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

Duran hasn't played in weeks.

Traore is only serious attacking option today, scored home and away in this fixture in 20/21.

We have been very poor,.throughout the pitch really..including Martinez who had to deal with that weak shot better for the goal. Sabitzer has sat on Luiz and we can't get playing as a result. Once again the long ball proving no dividends.

Our bench is so weak but I wonder if bringing in Chambers for Young could be considered. Also Duran in for Dendoncker. Match them with 4231 and drop McGinn in next to Luiz. As poor as we have been, Watkins slip cost us a tap in goal and we will get other chances. But we need fresh legs asap.

[Rigadon]

First really poor half in ages (of course it had to be here) and the ref has given us fuck all (as per usual).   

I'd forgotten how much I detest 'Utd'.  How many dives in the box?  3?  Casimero slid from about 5 yards away to take JJ out.  No card.  Body checks Moreno.  Throw in to them.  It's just so, so annoying.

I'd take Buendia off at half time.  Its not just that he's been totally anonymous, he was literally walking back when the ball was there to win at one point.  I thought he must be injured but I don't think that was it.  All he had to do was jog a bit and he'd have got the ball. 

That said.  The difference is they took their lucky chance and we missed ours (which was probably a good penalty shout that, of course, got totally ignored).

Fernandes.  What can you say that hasn't already been said.  A disgusting sight in every way.

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

Yep JJ has been completely owned by Casemiro. Emi B is getting into his own head. We’re a step too slow physically and mentally at the moment.

[coreyfeldman]

Buendia has been poor for weeks IMO, headless chicken half the time, turns in to trouble and loses the ball way way too often

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

over to you Villa  (prays!)

Fucking hell. That's some stat

I'd love it. LOVE IT! if we are the club to put that stat in the bin

[Brend'Watkins]

Bundia not really in it. Midfield is controlled by Casimero.

[olaftab]

The referee blows for HT.

Surprised it wasn’t Fernades who did that.

[Risso]

Buendia has been poor for weeks IMO, headless chicken half the time, turns in to trouble and loses the ball way way too often

And then has a strop at his team mates every time he makes a mistake.

[Steve67]

Anyone think Unai will make a half-time change?

[PaulWinch again]

Like I said the only saving grace is it’s only 1-0. It’s almost impossible for us not to be better in the second half and hopefully they’ll get complacent - they do that sometimes.

[ez]

If we continue with this high back line I can only see more goals conceded.

[Hampshire Villa]

We are a bit lightweight in midfield JJ and Emi B
off the pace and wasteful.
