Man Utd vs Aston Villa post-match thread

[Proposition Joe]

Absolute shite really. Pure sloppiness on our side, that was 100% self-inflicted.

[andyh]

2 games on the bounce when massive questions were asked of the team, and we failed to step up.

[Somniloquism]

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

So who would you have put on then?

[PhilVill]

At 2-0 up we should have got the third and killed them off before half time. We didn't, fanned about and let's face it, we've been here before a few times with our Manc friends.

Fuck around, find out.

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?

No. Don’t be stupid.

[Stu]

Breaking the habit of giving these shitbags their hollywood moments is a job unto itself. Trust us to have a bogey team like this.

[OzVilla]

Scored our second and totally stopped playing. Very sloppy from Diego Carlos and Luiz pretty much all night and let them back in. Exactly the type of performance/result that derails seasons (see Wolves at home in 20/21).

Looked very leggy after 30 minutes too.

Over to Unai.

Maldini and Baresi

[Goldenballs]

They haven't scored in fuck knows how long, that ugly boy couldn't hit a barn door, ETH hasn't beaten a top 9 team or some stat like that.

Oh, hello Villa.

[adrenachrome]

An unmitigated clusterfuck of immeasurable proportions.   

[Meanwood Villa]

I always think it's amusing when people chant "we've got our Villa back" when we're doing well. THAT was the Villa we all know so well. Fucking nightmare. Is it too late to say Christmas is cancelled?

Give your head a wobble. We had key players missing

Did you expect to lose from being 2-0 up though at half-time?

Don't some questions need to be asked of that second half? Of our capitulation to a team low on goals, confidence and results.

That was a shocker and it should be called out. Too many players went missing.

[LukeJames]

And that ladies and gentlemen is what you call a collapse. Three of the shittest goals a team is ever likely to conceded. In complete cruise control until Diego Carlos decided to repeat his Bournemouth fuck up.

I dont know what was more worrying, how often they cut us open or what little answer we had too it.

[murgsy]

This 👇🏼

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.

[Axl Rose]

Sigh.

I'm thinking of cancelling the zoom call with my best mate this evening now. (He's one of them)
