Manchester United 3:2 Aston Villa

NWRed · Dec 26, 2023

Second goal was embarrassing, but it must be only United players that can interfere with play even though they don't touch the ball. If there's no offside Villa player then Onana doesn't hesitate and the goal isn't scored, it's as simple as that. How VAR (and the commentators) can't see that is ridiculous.

Onana, Antony, Mount, Hojlund. Worst group of signings under a manager ever.

Hojlund won't score a prem goal until ETH is gone.

how is ETH stopping him scoring ?

Depressing stuff.

If Ratcliffe hires the likes of Graham Potter to steady us, we are well and truly fecked.

Next United manager must exude gravitas and command obedience. Another 'up and coming' coach will just falter.

Ancelotti, Zidane, somebody like that.

Why does Fernandes always look like he’s about to cry.

Sir Matt · Dec 26, 2023

Onana deserves those boos.

He's not ready for premier league first team football. Especially not in a side that is as bad as I've seen since the one that got relegated, as the main striker in the squad.

It will destroy him, before he gets a chance to develop. Ten hag should be sackjed for that alone.

Agree, the kid needed a senior striker with him. This is the mess SJR has to untangle.

Serious question?

Sir David Brailsford - INEOS delegation.

I just know names - I don't know what these other INEOS folks besides SJR look like.

The injuries excse is dead now. There is literally not on facet of or game that is good. Withot the ball, we have a poor press, a barren midfield, cant defend set pieces or crosses.
With the ball it isnt mch better. There are literally crap players at the club and the star players have had no consistency, are showing a blame cltre....that gy is never a captain in a million years, the only potential leader in the clb is Martinez.
The dressig room is lost ad that is why Ten Hag has to go.....and then we need to lose a huge portion of this dressing room.

THE ZOL · Dec 26, 2023

We are so embarassingly bad. Wrong decisions each and every time and we don’t look coached at all.

Zidane wouldn’t touch us with a barge pole. He’s not stupid enough to ruin his reputation

Oh shit. It was under Jose. Sorry.

We've been the better team, two joke goals conceded.

That from Bruno at the free kick is quite telling about the lack of planning of this team and his petulance, Villa did it because it was clearly a plan and then he does it for no positive reason.

Yes you could see the joy on their set piece coaches face for a clearly planned move to result in a goal. Our players appear void of any idea at a similar set piece at our end. Stark difference in the quality of coaching.

This is where you can separate the posters that have football intelligence and those that do not. I mean, not that it was needed with you.

Likewise.

This lot will have Zidane growing hair just so he can pull it out

Is it not the Villa fans heckling him?

That Villa defence is so well drilled. Incredible what a proper coach can do

bdspeedy · Dec 26, 2023

Spoiled, petulant players, an entitlement club culture and utterly incompetent ownership and management. They can all go fukk themselves.

Camy89 · Dec 26, 2023

Are these melts getting booed? Please say yes.

It's like the ball become a hot potato in the final third

This past 5 mins isnt us playing well.. its Villa having a 2 goal lead and sitting back for a bit..

We are really poor.. There is nothing positive about this performance.. other than hopefully the end for Onana and ETH being closer.

Litch · Dec 26, 2023

Give the lad a bloody chance for feck sake.....

laughtersassassin · Dec 26, 2023

Good play hold up by Hojlund there.

Escobar · Dec 26, 2023

We go behind and start playing football. Hard to understand

Pughnichi · Dec 26, 2023

That Villa line…when Onana played the ball over top to an offside Bruno. Was like a ruler of 10 outfield players

god could you imagine us trying to look that organised

It was a good pass but the timing was off for Hojlund. I'm not sure if the pass was too early or if Hojlund should have been able to get to it

I hope to God this is not a serious rumour because we'd be double fecked.

Bruno is so dumb

Can none of these forwards time a run?
