Aston Villa vs Man United Post-Match Thread

[Somniloquism]

We were pretty poor but by God, that was sooooo good!

Cash the happiest man at VP tonight 😅

Last week Konsa was caught in the tunnel stating Morgz saved his life. I expect the same from Cash this week.

Another one!

Cash made a "phew" gesture.

VILLA'S WON 10 IN A ROW!!!!!

As impressive as 10 in a row is 16 wins out of 18. That's obscene at this level.

Hilarious. As the game ends the lass on Sky Sports just said “we have to keep talking about them until they drop off”. Seriously love, do fuck right off.

Maybe but Arsenal and Citeh control games. We don't, that could be/surely must be intentional to agree but I'm not sure how sustainable it is to keep winning by the odd goal. Rogers can't play out of his skin in every game.

Let me check last two Aresenal results? Oh yes single goal wins against Wolves and Everton.

100%. And that was 2 own goals and a stupid penalty. Arses have not been on fire.

It's unprecedented for us. Amidst all the talk of Onana, Cash and Watkins etc I don't think some realise just how special this run is at the moment. We're basically winning every game for months. It's incredible and the work the boys have done behind the scenes and on the pitch must be immense to get us to this position.

I know there's areas to improve but let's forget those and leave them to the experts right now and just bask in what must be one of the best runs we've had if not the best run in 150 years and we're lucky to be living in it.

PS please win a trophy though Unai.

Brilliant - it really is unprecedented - to be the poorer team and win.  To have the difference maker in our team.

Amazing - these really are special times.

Merry Christmas - God Bless us - Everyone!

As you said, people still looking for negatives.  You can't be brilliant every game, you just need to win.

Awful performance really. I think only three players played up to par. Was quite impressed with Man United. Tactically they did us in midfield, both Cunha and Mount were very impressive. Fortunate we have this complete freak of a player playing on our left today. Outstanding.

Martinez 7 - solid throughout
Cash 5 - awful mistake for the goal, made one great block in second half
Konsa 6 - one great block too but a bit iffy including  a weird defensive header
Lindelof 4 - shocking indictment on West Ham they didn't press him onto his left foot like today, Konsa and him watched Cunha miss that sitter
Maatsen 6 - a bit meh but had a big problem next to him
Kamara 5 - poor today, caught ahead of ball constantly
Onana 5 - age old problem evident again - unable to play on half turn
McGinn 8 - great ball to Rogers for the first, battled really well
Rogers 9 - outstanding goals, dug us out of a massive hole today with his quality
Tielemans 4 - really poor. Anonymous first half and not much better in second
Watkins 4 - midfield was the problem position today but can't ignore his current level of performance

Not sure about subs today, Buendia should have come on a lot earlier I thought. Digne was ok.

I give McGinn only 1, just because he kicked the ball out when Bruno was hobbling, not a serious injury not our fault, evidence also is when Tilimens is out in the centre circle and Oliver let Manchester still play while they were in a attack position and then stopped play later

Also, it's like people weren't paying attention when Man U and before them Liverpool built empires that lasted years on finding a way to win, no matter what it took, different ways to win. How many times did Man United look at best average and then still win in the Ferguson era (especially against us)?

Reminds me of all those times when we played really well against these ****** but ended up losing the game, usually to a dodgy pen or deflected goal. They can fuck off back to Salford with their better performance wrapped up in their kit bag.

This is beautiful prose.

The last time I felt like this was 89/90,
I’m 57 next month, the next 2 games are massive. If we are still in and around those two it’s game on. UTV!!!

Thank god for morgs. Watkins has to be replaced asap

Thanks for the assist though Ollie.

Without Ollie, Morgan doesn’t score the second.

Careful, assists don’t matter….

It’s bonkers. An absolutely incredible run and there’s some real character and resilience in there.

Also whilst it was pretty ordinary from Konsa and Lindelof, it was glorious that Cunha missed an absolute sitter.

Amorim’s quotes about being the better side and deserving more…YES YOU WERE AND YES YOU DID NOW FUCK OFF, BECAUSE THET’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU’RE NOT SPECIAL AND NO-ONE GIVES A FUCK.
