Man United vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[Ian.]

I wouldn’t bother asking, always on the wind up.

[OCD]

I did think Diaby and Bailey were making similar runs and with them both starting, it meant we had less options from the bench. I'd probably start one or the other but not both. We might have been better off starting with both Watkins and Duran Friday.

If we're in bad form/not playing well, have you watched Yanited recently?!

I think Tim has a point. They're too similar to play on the same side - they too often cut back into the same space and neither goes for the byline.

One of them could play on the left, though.

They have been shite for quite a while & still managed to finish top 4 last season. If we had everyone available I'd be very confident.

Like every game, if we give nothing away & the ref doesn't give them a gift we'll be OK. Score the first goal & the crowd will go into meltdown.

I'm going for 1-1 as we can't keep a clean sheet.

[Proposition Joe]

Not won in 5 & not scored in last 4

3-1 Utd then .

Antony hasn’t scored this season and Rashford has two to his name. Two each then, 4-1.

Poundland Haarland hasn't scored one Prem goal yet either has he? Make it 5-1.

Poundland Haarland hasn't scored one Prem goal yet either has he? Make it 5-1.

To be fair to the lad, if he was at Man City he'd probably be scoring as many as Haaland. He gets absolutely no service from the midfield, they're all selfish players who can't score themselves but keep trying to.

[Brazilian Villain]

Relax lads and lasses, we're going to batter them. I'm so confident, Smirker has asked me to rein it in a bit.

Yes, I'd go with that, and have Bailey ready to come on for 30 or so minutes. Tim should get some gametime as well but probably won't unless we're well clear of them with 30 to go.

Same here.  Diaby to have a stormer tonight!

they actually played quite well at Anfield last week in the 0-0

So they played well, but we’re off form. Genius!

[PeterWithesShin]

They defended decently overall and Liverpool couldn't finish their dinner that day. 34 shots to 6, 68/32 possession, 12/0 corners, tells you what you need to know.
