Manchester Utd vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Taylor]

Watkins is playing because he’s our best option. I love Tammy but he hasn’t done enough when he’s been given a chance. He wasn’t very good today when he came on.

Can anybody see any positives from that performance?

The Razzies were already announced last night.

The  statistics say Abraham did more in 30 mins than Watkins and Rogers put together .

You know all that xg and shit.

There's no fluidity when we move forward. It's very, very slow. Very formulaic and very easy to follow.

The Razzies were already announced last night.

And we are not Tottenham Hotspurs.

Clearly we’ll finish below Man Utd now, but both Liverpool and Chelsea aren’t exactly great shakes so its not over. If we can somehow get our shit together we’ve a whole run of lower to mid table teams coming up.

The positive part of me , ever shrinking of course, thinks that Unai just wants to get through this period to the international break and still be in contention for top 5 then hope that a functioning version of McGinn and Tielemans can restore some verve for the run in.

The majority of me is just a Brummie version of Frazier from Dad's Army. "We're doomed"

Abraham needs to start a couple of games to get himself up to speed. UE isn't giving him that chance. Failing that, why not try starting them together. Just try something different ffs! That result was entirely predictable! A terrible 2026 so far.

Amongst other things, I don't think Malen for Tammy + Leon was a good exchange in hindsight. We miss that directness and drive from Malen.

Look, we have to play fair. This means selling our talented academy players and also selling players we have bought to replace them with lads who we got shot of to try and improve the team. This is fair, right, and appropriate.

These fuckers are billions in debt and we aren't. We have billionaire owners who aren't allowed to spend. In order to buy players we have to sell. Emery has done an amazing job here and yes we've been utter Blues since losing the midfield, but this is the Premier League laid bare...only certain clubs can win things and you have a league with rules completely set up to ensure this every season.

Or Burnley. The only two teams below us in the last 10 games form table.

It's all a bit disheartening.  Full faith in Emery, but bloody hell this is an absolutely terrible run. 

[Hampshire Villa]

Same old same OT performance. Can’t think why anyone thought it would be any different

[kippaxvilla2]

This team would be closer to the bottom without Emery.

I would like to be positive that we are in 4th place, but we can all see the problem
Dreadful summer recruiting
Some really strange purchases
Players out injured no depth to call on
Normal Mould trafford performance
Rogers gives the ball away in their half, they romp down and they score
Digine for reasons only known to him gives away a corner instead of a throw, they score
Bailey gives away the ball in their half , they romp down the pitch and score
Need a clear out and new faces this summer, but will it happen ?
Rogers was probably the last player we signed that has been a success
Digine
Bailey
Watkins
Buendia
Do we have the money to replace them ?
 Only if we qualify for Champs league
If we don't qualify Uni will probably bugger off
real cheerful tonight, sighs
