Saying its the formation not the personnel isn't giving credit to Elanga, Telles, Fernandes etc who have done well

Not surprised his hip hurts. He threw himself to the floor and rolled three times
VDB makes sense now, the only constant in the few matches where we had midfield control. Can't have that of course.DDG positioning and reflexes are so on pointFeel like Villa always dominates against us these days.
And somehow DvB is still not getting a chance. I just hope somebody some day will write a memoir to tell us wtf is DvB doing in trainings two managers to be passing on him so blatantly despite him clearly being a good footballer and often a better option than who we playCould do with half time.Holding on nowEnjoying this Elanga performance quite a lot.Elanga needs to run at the full backs moreLord have mercy. Not liking this Villa pressureBruno has to do better defending there which led to that opportunity....he just let the guy ghost right past him with the ball
Have you actually been watching this game? Villa have come back into it, but we've been comfortably the better team.
I mean it would have been shocking if he was beaten there.De gea watches hockeyImpressed with Elanga. Holds the line well, holds the position out wide and then drives on. Night and day with what we have seen recently thereWhy is Elanga struggling to beat Cash for pace?Replay of that save, Dave using the butterfly technique
He could play in the NHL.We need to finish them off.Konsa done his back?I’m terrified Cash is going to put in a leg breaker here.Konsa down. Bet you wish you still had Tuanzebe now Stevie Me, eh?
Not necessarily. If you play players in a comfortable setup then yeah they will perform better and get the credit
Lingard is ahead of no one. And they play in different position
Quite why we are not in the market for a top box to box creative midfielder (not using the one dimensional CDM term) is beyond me. Even on loan. We are so lacking in the engine room. I mean Loftus Cheek who cant get a game for Chelsea walks into this side.
He seems like a haterElanga is a constant outlet on that left flank, always perfectly positioned to receive the ball.What the feck is Goldbridge doing sitting next to slippy G. @GifLord 45:00
Same. One of the dark arts he learned on the mean streets of Krakow, no doubt
Are you thinking of different players?from these camera angles he is clearly pretending to be injured and being wanked off. refs needs to get smarter at spotting these kind of things.Shit defending and positioning from Dalot....he completely lost Digne and was too high and not in line with Lindelof to defend that back post properlyKonsa's injured himself breakdancing, it had nothing to do with Elanga.
What did they dominate in this game so far? They had few small spells, that's it.
I read this and my eyes bleed.
I think they have beat us twice in the last 40 games or so.
Feck off and support them if that’s how you feel.Elanga, an inexperienced kid is looking more dangerous 1 vs 1 than Rashford, Greenwood and Sancho have all season.
Not the way Fred is playing today. More advanced than Matic.That was a clear offside before that shot, their player challenging for header was well behind our defence.
Has shown Rashford, Sancho what is needed. Has been very good. Seems to be tiring a bit though.- Status
