Man Utd vs Aston Villa post-match thread

That second half was like an attack of the piles

Painful, dreadful, uncomfortable and I can’t sit properly now

Pathetic.

[adrenachrome]

Imagine my surprise.

I'm shocked I tell ya. Shocked.

[Smirker]

Really important how we bounce back from this now.

[PaulTheVillan]

Ok. So people think throwing 2 attackers on when we couldn’t get near the ball.

[jon collett]

Unfortunately they worked us out - how to play the high line and how to press our passing around the back,

I just hope this is not now going to be a pattern for other sides to follow.

Injuries and suspensions didn’t help.

Unai looked v annoyed!

[passport1]

A blip ,which can occur.Anyone want to bet against us on 10th Feb?
Onwards but on this occasion not upwards.

[Risso]

Tht second half was the worst performance since Emery arrived, absolutely Bruce-esque. Players were disgracefully shite and Emery got it all wrong.

[Monty]

Of course, it had to be like this. It had to be like this against them. At Christmas.

Absolutely knew it would happen, too. We've been looking stodgy and out of ideas since the Great And Glorious Week. The absences of Tielemans, Torres and then Kamara have exposed the squad. Tonight, we went right into our shell and couldn't get out of our half after the second goal. Watkins, a passenger. Bailey, got to the byline a lot but blocked every time. McGinn, a man of two halves. Douglas Luiz, man, what happened to him tonight? The defence, all over the place.

Freshen it up, Unai. New plans, new ideas, probably new starting personnel with different roles. Come up with something, because I think this iteration of this team looks as spent as Newcastle's, and we need to arrest the slide now.

Ok so I think the manager has earned enough good will yeah?

[Nev]

It's an awful place for us to go, has been for years. The manager is no worse or better than he has ever been.

We are in a slump, inevitable for any team but don't lose sight of where we are.

The cheerleding for Newton Heath was beyond shameful but no-one cares really........

[charleeco7]

Poor tonight. Looked leggy and in need of reinforcements in January. Luca Digne going off injured was a blow also.

Careful.  Don’t you know we had players out….

[john2710]

The warning signs were there in the 15 mins before half time & we changed nothing to stop it. We handed that to them & it's fucking sickening.

[Dave]

Don’t know what’s more embarrassing

Their fans or Emery’s subs

Stupid post.  What's he supposed to do with the players we have out?

I thought that the narrative (see Spurs and Newcastle fans) is that we don't bleat and whine about players being missing because that is why we have a squad of players?

[LeonW]

To ship 3 goals second half to a side struggling to even score was very poor. We simply did not come out second half. Nobody reacted to what was unfolding. Poor game management which is on everyone. I thought Konsa was the only player who played well all game. Emery is normally proactive with his changes but today was frozen.
