We play Matic against all the shite teams though. Because we play dreadful, funeral football when he's in the midfield and we can't do that against tough opposition with quality in the centre of the park.

You have to get at Targett, he swings a decent ball in but he's not a very good defender. Man United should be exploiting that and pinning him back not doubling up and inviting him on.Villa are playing as well as anyone in the league. It's a harder game than Leicester and Wolves for me. Must stop Grealish.Fred and McTominay in here for me. They work really well together and McTominay showed vs Leeds that he doesn't have to be just a sitting player. Martial up top, arguably room for mata on right though wouldn't be surprised to see James againPut in Phil jones at RB to take out Grealish early then sub him offThis should have been a walk in the park 3 points compared to the Villa that were playing in the league last season.Grealish FC
Fred & McTomyam can stop himWe have the confidence and momentum and were now winning at home. If we have designs on winning the league we need to be winning these games. 2 very good players coming up against one another in Grealish and Fernandes. Think we will pinch it 2-1.Last edited:
@McGrathsipan first real test
We signed Sancho?
Signed him yesterday, delivered via a helicopter all the way from Germany. Transfer fee was 69 million euros.
You mean the Villa team of last season would have been a walk in the park opponent.
This year's Villa won't be.
Have you learnt nothing about Phil Jones?
He'd probably take Bruno or Maguire out and score an own goal first.
Will deffo be McFred in midfield for this one. They're both fresh and ready for it.
The main decision is who plays wide right and like you I think James might well get a run out.
Ha Ha sorry meant Fernandes I was trying to type this and talk to son at first time.10-0 see's us go top of the league on Friday night
Grealish will probably get up and shrug it off. Meanwhile Jones will have to come off after injuring himself in the tackle.
Let me know how it goes
Ya the only reasons we don't see James is if we go diamondSon is in your living room?
Ask him whether he wants to come to United
Too much, Diallo is better.VDB at RM trying to stop Grealish with Wan Bissaka would be better than Daniel James for me.
VDB has a good cross on him and can be more creative than James.
Grealish plays central at the moment.
Thats good. Who plays on the left for them at the moment?
El GhaziTime for Martial and Greenwood ( lesser extent) to step up
Yeah that's what I meant.Cavani out means United are without a potential match winner for this game. A big boost for Villa.
El Ghazi who is sort of crap, but has a touch of gold at the moment with 5 goals in 5 games !Very nervous about this one. It's been nearly 2 months since our last league defeat(Arsenal at home)this run has to end at some point.
Man Mark Grealish
What spirit
Lovely.Games like this were prime ander herrera territory to just stick with their threat all game.
We need fred or Scott to man mark grealish out of the game.Feeling a lot more confident about this one than the Wolves one. 2-0 to us.
Yeah, no one can win a game for us.
I don't think P.Jones has ever injured an opponent.
He only injures himself and besides, I don't think he will ever play for MUFC again. He is a terrible player and Ole knows it.I think Barkleys back so they’ll stick Grealish out on the left?
I have a horrible feeling we will drop points here. Worried about the CBs being pressed by Watkins.- Status
