Villa 1 Man. United 2 Post match thread.

Overall performance not bad at all, just lacking in front of goal.

Got back in the game once Leon began to turn it on and then took him off.

Unai said no injury, it was a tactical decision. Ho hum.

[Risso]

Manu first goal should’ve have been.
Played them off the park for most.

Special mention for Neville.  I thought he was a decent guy. But today never have I ever listened to such a wanker.

Thought he was fair and very respectful to us, tbh,

That's just the inbuilt Ferguson style arrogance from having them turn up every year and just walk out with the points.

[Paul.S]

Emery getting pelters now, Jesus wept.

I knew it would happen as soon as we started to struggle a bit. Bring on David Moyes for some really cracking football!!!!

[Risso]

It's not OK to point out when Emery has got something wrong?

[eamonn]

Although we should have won, we should have been focused as much on not losing it in the last few minutes, as that would have maintained a significant gap.

We did, we slowed the tempo down and were happy to draw them on. No pressing at all for the move that led to their winner.

It really saddens me to see so many people who forget where we were 18 months ago… this manager mad team have come so far in that time it’s unbelievable…..really….get some reality in there.
We have no divine right…..

Loser mentality

Yes you are…..doesn’t post for weeks then pops up to have a good whine when we lose narrowly and play better than we have for weeks.

We’ve beat Man Utd at home twice in 40 years…

You might want to check the maths on that.

What the fuck that’s got to do with anything? I’m more worried about what we do not the opposition. Yes it’s annoying losing to those fuckers but I’m genuinely encouraged what I saw today, a bit more clinical and that’s a win by two clear goals for me. Ramsey was properly good as well, which starts to create a whole different dimension to our play. I swear getting wound up by the fact it’s that lot is blinding people to a much better performance.

If my aunty had bollocks she’d be my uncle.

[Proposition Joe]

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.

Their games are really swingy, the way they play: they're as likely to go on a losing streak as a winning one.

And we are better than ManUre, we have Torres and Digne back, Ramsey starting to look like his old self, meaning we can play McGinn centrally where he does best.

It's not over yet. Play like we did today and we'll win more than we lose. And it's about time we won at Fulham.

[RamboandBruno]

Ramsey and Watkins were woeful.

Incorrect

Yes it was their finishing that was woeful.

Maybe but you could say that about a number of players. Their overall game wasn’t awful

[stubbsyandy]

It will be bad enough the media jumping with joy at us stuttering, we don’t need to do it to ourselves. UTV

[Risso]

Watkins had an awful game.

[ChicagoLion]

Watkins had an awful game.

He was dreadful.

[eamonn]

Watkins should have buried that ball in from Cash. The whole goal to aim at, and he blasts it straight at the keeper.

So frustrating. Was such an easy chance

I don't think it was. His marker was challenging him which cut-out the option to hit it to the left and the angle it came to him, made it hard to place it to the right.

[RamboandBruno]

It's not OK to point out when Emery has got something wrong?

Its fine to point out if he got something wrong, but he should have loads of credit in the bank. Not a popular opinion but I think we lost the game but we missed 3 or 4 good chances, not because Bailey went off.

[KevinGage]

Our own worst enemy again.

Oh how we've missed the Manc mutants celebrating in our stadium. I hope our owners do build a new venue somewhere - at least for these games and against the other daytripping lot.

Then close the the away end on 90+ minutes and flood the fucking place.
