Villa 1 Man. United 2 Post match thread.

Somehow we conspired to not win by three or four clear goals. We're too nice, and need to add a bit of they shall not pass to our ethos.

[Baldy]

Why the fuck did Bailey go off!!!

Sent the wrong message and cost us the game.

I thought we played very well and shown seeds of recovery after a very hard couple of months. We just couldn’t put it away which was strange considering how many goals we have scored this season.

With players coming back from injury I’m actually feeling more confident about how we end this season after that performance. I know we lost, but that’s the rules of law against these wankers.

Onwards and upwards.

[Rigadon]

******.

I am totally sure we will finish above these absolute ****** this season.  This will be the catalyst for a Stella last third. 

Better team throughout.  Didn’t take our chances but back to almost our top form. 

Stick together and this will galvanise.  No defeatism. 

[Deano's Mullet]

I haven't felt this gutted all season. Same old story against them, they haven't been that good today but still manage to get the usual late goal. We've seen this happen time and time again. What really hurts is it makes last seasons win look like a flash in the pan now. Gutted. Absolutely gutted.

Ramsey and Watkins were woeful.

Ramsey wasn’t.

[Jane]

Somebody, somewhere needs to explain that Bailey substitute to me. We had them shiting it down the Right at that point and we decided to settle. Got what we deserved.

Don't understand that substitution at all.

Yet another match against that lot when the the final whistle is marked by the incoming gloating WhatsApp messages from colleagues.  Thanks, Villa.

[AV82EC]

Well we played much better than the last two home games and still managed to find a way to lose. We sat off them for 2-3 minutes and paid the price. That said I was greatly encouraged as we were much better. Onwards and upwards.

[Olof's Beard]

To have lost three on the bounce at home after than long unbeaten run is indeed very fucking Villa.

We are too easy to score against and have lost all our efficiency up the other end.

Feels like 1998-9.

Most gutted I have been in a long time.

[villadelph]

Luiz and Ramsey shared multiple chances to win the game. We were far better.. it’s a cruel game.

I’m just about fed up with Diaby, and I’m trying to hold on to any sort of hope given how Bailey has turned around.

Really hoping Kamara isn’t fucked.

Need to win out the rest of the month.

[Billy Walker]

We're in a mini-slump, with key players off-form or injured...we'll fight our way out of it.  Keep the faith. UTV

[LeonW]

Unless he was injured taking Bailey off was a huge mistake

[Steve67]

What I hate is that McTominay wanted that ball so much more than matt cash at the back post.  We tried to walk the ball into their net far too many times and lacked that killer punch up front tonight.  I thought the subs were odd choices as Diaby and Tielemans offered nothing, unless we are winning.  We were the better side but have to find that ruthless streak.  As for our defence, another two poor goals conceded and for the first time under Ten Haag, Man Yew beat a top 9 side.  Benevolent Villa are back!

[OCD]

Well lads, there it is. Unai is some coach, but too many injuries in that defence have really destabilised the team. Let's go for fifth and the Conference League and hope England get that extra spot.

Not sure we'll be able to keep Spurs at bay.
