Why is RVP holding onto it for so long? Could have just touched it onto Falcao. We have no pace in our passing atall.I'm convinced we are not gonna get top 4. We have not a clue. About half of our players don't want to work, most notably RVP and Mata. Nobody takes anybody on. Nobody has pace. No power or aggression. Sad, really. Not even fun to watch. It seems like we've already lost and it's not even half time.This is shit.Evans has been poor defensively but he's also really hampering our play as a whole, he takes ages to make any decision and doesn't dare pass it forward.We can't get away with playing Valencia, Young, Fletcher, Evans today It looks like.
Yet they've somehow done way more than we have.
He isn't rusty, he has always been fecked since he returned from his stomach problem. He has to man up and call it a daycant stand we people say mata is invisible. He makes good runs and pings the ball around but he as well as the strikers need the midfield to do better.no real urgency on the pitch. playing like we are 3 love up and not one goal down.No space at all. Villa are just defending and playing on the break.
It's going to be tough now to open them up.ok enough get on di mariaIF YOU CAN"T TAKE RISKS WITH PASSING YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH - The story of Fletcher so far.
Then why the feck have Valencia there? He offers literally nothing moving forward.
Di maria on and go diamond please!This is utter shitThe only way to beat a team with 10 men behind the ball is to pass quickly or beat your man.. Sadly we don't have either on the field.How bad we miss Felliani. He'd be there shielding the back three or rough the play a bit.45 min
Injury Time
One minute added time.Di Maria is needed is games like thisVilla will get another
Herrera isn't on the benchDi Maria in for Fletcher and Januzaj in for Mata is my hopes for 2nd half...Solely Evans' fault that we're in this position.One of RVP, Falcao or Mata has to go. We have to many attacking players with no pace on the pitch. I would like to say take Fletcher off because he has been shocking but then we would have no midfield at all.1 goal down, and just passing the ball, back and sideways like were 4 goals up, wheres the urgency?It feels like 90% of our passes are dircted backwordsWhy is young the only player who can run at the defense for us.
I would get Carrick as a CDM and get ADM on for Fletch.Mata is not useless
Guess you've been watching a different game to me then
I'm not too fond of either Young or Valencia, but they've been decent, at least Young who's been our main threat IMO.We need to want this more and realize they are Aston villa ffs.How fudging boring match so cagey its like watching paint dry ffs, pass back pass back slow down play boringI am not too worried … yet
Too late for that, ask Carrick how it's going. Plus, we'd put him on one of the sides of the 3, with jones in the middleJason Roberts on Fivelive: "This has been a master-class in how you nullify a 3-5-2."What a shithouse of a half.
Manning up is not something anyone can accuse Fletcher of needing to do.45+1 min
Late chance for Van Persie from a Valencia cross but Villa clear.Half-time (45+1')Surprisingly Young is the only one who I think want to attack. The others just sideways,sideways,sideways and back pass. Shite45+1 min
Half-time
United trail 1:0 at the break. They've had bags of possession but struggled to create many chances of note.
At the other end, Villa have looked to break with pace against United's back three and a brilliantly taken goal by Benteke is the difference between the sides.
United need a lot more creativity in the second-half if they're to keep their winning run going.Brutal brutal brutal yet again.Awful first half, playing far too safe. Villa doing to us what we did to Southampton and Arsenal.we arent getting anywhere- Status
