Just put the tin hat on a dreadful first half. Shit from Cash but what the hell was Martinez thinking.

Both culpable there.  Fucking idiots

Emi could have just ran back? He'd probably have missed anyway.

Get Youri on for Onana whose first touch is as reliable as Watkins.

Only hope is for us to battle to a draw and Everton to grab a winner at Newcastle.

Sorry to say it but we don’t deserve CL football with this showing. It is Emery’s first really bad 45 minutes. Don’t let it be 90 of them.

Haven't even had a corner yet have we?

Our approach in that first half is beyond defence really, we've lost pretty much all the 50/50s and duels in the centre of the pitch and that is completely unacceptable with the state Man. United are in.

Tielemans on, Obama off.  From the off. 

And stop, STOP thinking this is 2010.  Grow a pair FFS. 

Unai would get absolutely baracked if he did that

Re-watching it a few times, I wonder how much it was a DOGSO and how much was a "violent conduct". Because the ball wasn't going towards goal with that touch.

Im sorry, but the board, Emery and his staff have to take responsibility for this.  They've allowed this talk about Martinez's future to fester and its clear they're trying to force him out.  Its likely cost us top 4 now.  Thanks a bunch you clowns.

Cash can just do one for me. Martinez should be ashamed and Watkins has got ball repellent boots on his feet. Awful. Just awful from Villa. This needs a Graham Taylor style rant off Unai "YOU got us into this mess now YOU can get us out of it"

Yes we did. It came from the only shot (which was blocked).

I don't know if this is at all relevant but there was a dog unit very close to Onana's house this morning

Hoilund's touch looked like it was taking him towards the corner flag too.

Only because he needed to take a touch because of the on rushing Martinez. However the ball direction should have been looked at by the ref as a possible non-red, but I suppose the refs got a bollocking last week after the FA Cup decision.

I'm not suggesting he shouldn't have been sent off, more that Hoilund would likely have found a way to mess it up anyway.

Actually, a well reasoned and passionate ht talk from the former president wouldn’t go a miss.
