Man Utd vs Aston Villa post-match thread

[astonvilla82]

Got what we deserved, could not match them for passion or desire in the second half, sloppy passing and far too many players did not put in a shift.
I hope we have a list of recruits for Jan

💯%

[Deano's Mullet]

Typical against them lot. Rubbish really from about 40 mins on, no control in midfield.

But we are still in a fantastic position. Onwards and upwards.

[Risso]

What was Digne's injury?

Hurt himself sliding in to try to stop their second. Had to be carried off, so assuming something nasty.

This is worrying. This has happened to us many times before but I thought we were different this season but it seems not.

We are, these are the first points we've dropped having taken the lead all season, it was always going to happen (just like the 100% home record going). It feels shit togiht because we;ve been here so many times with these pricks but we've reached the halfway point 3points off the top of the table, every single person on here would've called you a fantasist if you've suggested that in July, we just need to keep our heads (both the team/club and the fans).

Lenglet, Dendoncker are not good enough. We should have kept pressing in the 2nd half. We need 4 players in January. Striker, attacker to replace Zaniolo permanently, centre mid to back up luiz/kamara and a right back so that Konsa can just play as a CB

[Flamingo Lane]

I thought the first 30 minutes were very good indeed, but from about that point we seemed to stop playing, running on empty. At half time I was sure that if we conceded one then we'd likely lose the game.  But wow, that commentary.

[coreyfeldman]

Why does he keep shoving Konsa out wide to RB to play a mediocre pairing at the back. Konsa is the best defender and the most comfortable on the ball out of those 3 and they get keep getting the shirts.  It's costing us.

Who else plays at rb?

[Goldie.7]

Pau and Kamara play and i'm convinced we'd be top having won the last 2,

I agree with that.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Imagine my surprise.

I'm shocked I tell ya. Shocked.

Haha! Fcuk off! It's still too raw to be funny. Bastard made me laugh. You're not helping.

[Toronto Villa]

We look fucking tired. We scored mostly because they were shit. But we look out of energy and all this slowing down bollocks is probably meant to keep us going for longer. Man U pressed the shit out of us and we had nothing at all. I’m worried without reinforcements and players coming back and in form we will slip down the table.

I saw him being helped off and thought he might have collided with the post.

[manic-road]

Didn't show up second half, poor goals to concede and we got what we deserved.

[villadelph]

Pau and Kamara play and i'm convinced we'd be top having won the last 2,

I agree with that.

Same. We had no one with the confidence to pass the ball forward today. It was pathetic really.. down by a goal and pissing about the back like we were in front.

Midfield was second-rate for the first time in a long time. We have to go out and get all three next match. Players let Unai down today.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Pau and Kamara play and i'm convinced we'd be top having won the last 2,

I agree with that.

No, we still would have found an unlikely way to lose at Old Trafford on Boxing Day!

It's the Villa Way!

[Skerra]

I keep reading about our injuries etc. Manure we’re missing more players than us I think. Call it what it was, an absolute shit show second half.
