I appreciate some are trying to stary positive and its admirable i wish i could be.

But i feel massively let down. They played WOEFUL on Wednesday night and i was ok to let that slide if we got something today. This is a awful united side. Not long ago we bottled a 2 goal lead. That should be enough motivation to put it right but they failed.

We can all say we didnt expect to see ourselves in this position so we should be happy to be in mix. But the bigger picture is this the best chance we will ever get for CL. Manure chelsea and Newcastle wont be this bad next year.  So will be even tougher next year.

Then you have to add in will luiz for example want to stick around if we miss out on CL? These are some issues will could have if we miss out on CL.thats not even including all the revenue money we will miss out having CL to help with FFP

Zanolia hasn't convinced me of a permanent signing I am afraid
It's a shame Diaby wasn't a loan too as i'd send them both back

Two things. We conceded the first goal again and secondly why did we suddenly decide to play as the underdogs and settle for a point. Seeing them walk the ball into our half with no press infuriated me.

Strange how they suddenly remember that particular rule as opposed to us on a previous occasion

‘Definite goal’ I said to the babby when they were awarded that corner. Granted I was trying to jinx it, but it was my first thought. Wasn’t a free kick either.

Watkins had an awful game.
He was dreadful.
Dont agree at all

Watkins missed a couple of good chances but worse than that, his hold up play was abysmal.

He repeatedly gave the ball away with sloppy passes when the ball was played up to him which turned potential Villa attacks into opportunities for them to counter.

It’s one thing to be good against Sheffield but do the business against Manchester Utd and then you’re talking.

He clearly didn’t do that.

the bigger culprits of missing chances really good ones was Luiz and Diaby

I'm gutted but I'm nowhere near as angry as I was against Chelsea and Newcastle. We deserved to win whereas we were abject against them so I can see why some are still positive. I was expecting much worse but as ever it's a kick in the balls against these c**ts.

The amount of times Watkins pisses me off with his lay offs or first touch... if I was him I would be practicing them all day because it's such a weak point. Imagine how many more assists he could get!

We'll be better next year too.

We are 1 point off 4th spot after 24 games. Pretty amazing I'd say.

Again don’t agree, i thought he gave Varane a difficult game.

How many goals , assists or chances did he take create?
