Aston Villa vs. Manchester United

God we're shit today. Imagine if we were playing against a good team?
 
Rooney is back to cover inside the area, but Carrick and Scholes both strolling back. Pathetic.
 
Shame, Smalling has been immense barring that little episode.
 
feck you Paul Lambert you feckstick.
 
Ultra shit half.

Terrible defending for their goal.

Villa are an average team at best yet we've hardly done anything of note against them. Too sloppy in possession, no movement off the ball, no energy or urgency in our play and no chances created.

The wingers need to step up. Also I think one of Ando/Clev should come on at HT. Hernandez too to add some pace and energy.
 
Please 4-3-3 second half Chico up front with Wazza and Van Persie ahead of Fletch, Ando and Clev. Please..

Have to stop watching this one to work now, but honestly it's a relief. It's becoming almost unbearably frustrating that the only thing more reliable than the awful football is the mind-numbingly stupid team selection and formation that causes it. Anyone on this thread having a go at the players is looking in the wrong place.

Fergie has picked two very out of form wingers, one of whom is nothing special in the first place, over two very in-form, talented midfielders. He's also picked Paul Scholes over Cleverley again, despite all the evidence that the latter can now do anything the former can do, but at twice the speed.

It's so, so frustrating to go from watching the U18s, a team full of wonderful skilful, inventive, creative players who are put into a line-up and formation which allows them to express themselves and rip apart all comers, to a team whose own consignment of technical, creative players sit on the bench whilst Fergie picks the wrong-players in a hideously inappropriate, outdated formation, and we end up playing predictably shit football and being outplayed single-handedly by Steven Bloody Ireland.

Rant over. I sense that my essay on prosody and cognition is going to be an angry one.

Bang on this post.
 
Clear foul. Rio did the same to Benteke and called for it.
 
Can't blame Smalling. He's just come back and likely to be out of touch.

On the bright side, atleast now that we are a goal down we will start playing. Lol.
 
Shit on a stick - almost everyone below par. Rooney and RVP too which means they aren't going to cover up our deficiencies and bail us out.
