Manchester Utd vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Let's face it, it's exactly what we expected. Just an observation, VAR took a long time examining our goal before eventually giving it. Not saying there was anything wrong with any of their goals but the checks, if there were any, could not have had time to check any possible problems in their build up, like they seem to do with us lesser mortals.

Feels like something's coming to an end here.

To be fair, we are usually shite here even when we are doing well.

You're right. They are 2nd in the form table we are 17th. Had our positions been reversed, the result and performance would have been the same. Just more annoying.

Wouldn't mind but Man United were very poor today . Didn't play with any tempo in the first half. Fernandes stamped his class all over the second.

We seem a team in decline sadly. Emery is in a real funk too.

Martinez 5 - poor for first I thought, if he's getting a touch to it it should be going over
Bogarde 6 - caught horribly by cross field ball for their goal but should have been bailed out, ok for backup right back
Konsa 3 - soft as shite for two goals
Mings 7 - surprise return but did well defensively. Not much to defend against, mind
Digne 3 - completely finished at this level
Barkley 7 - no pace in game so did well on ball and finished well for goal
Onana 6 - did well for a 15 min spell after we went behind but poor for two goals
Rogers 3 - awful yet again, touch and head gone
Buendia 5 - tried hard with little coming off
McGinn 5 - bit off pace as expected and hooked early
Watkins 2 - tragic

Bailey was awful as per usual, Tammy very poor, missed two glorious chances but hold up play was shite. The other three weren't given enough time but two of them conspired to cost us a consolation at end.

Emery - shit scared team selection and leaving likes of Luiz and Maatsen on bench until 82nd minute was insane
