We've had three weeks of miserable results, don't think I could take another one today. Can't say that team feels me with much optimism.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa
- Thread starter rednev
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Oh feck off you muppet.
- are you serious?!!!!
I am. He's been solid for the last 4 months for us in a variety of positions he's been asked to fill.
Also Lot 49 in the CC those goals were mistakes by the defence because they lost concentration (we were always winning by a goal lead at any time) in a PS game i dont think that would happen. I mean compare Fulham in the cup game compared to Fulham in the league game
relax the lot of you. we have quality all over the pitch. we are at home. we should be ok
FFS, grow a pair will you.
This place is going to implode today because of the lunacy
Poor baby.
People are really overdoing it. It's a stronger side than Villa have, AND a better defense (it really is), AND we're at home.
Calm.
The.
feck.
Down.
Hopefully Nani can deliver some balls into the box, Ronaldo coming off the Left wing to head them in, Fletch playing box to box and Giggs and Carrick pulling the strings. Tevez will be Tevez come united
My thoughts exactly. Too many folk are now shitting themselves, fecking calm down you pansies.
Who the hell would you people rather play than O'shea and Nevile ? Two of our most experienced players and O'shea has been a godsend with some of our injuries this season 
Look at that bench. Hope we get to see some of them come on in a winning situation.
Agbonlahor is even quicker than Young so if I was really worried about Neville being up against pace I wouldn't want him playing CB like today.
Of course you could always say Neville can mark Carew but seeing as he's giving away about a foot in height that's just as much a recipe for disaster.
Bottom line is Neville shouldn't be playing CB, he's always dodgy there and it was awful last time he partnered Evans.
Today is a big day for Nani. I just hope he realises that
totally agree. cant stand the amount of shit O Shea gets on here. he's been one of the real success stories of this campaign.
ps. interesting bench sharky

Agreed
okay - does anyone collate the stats for the match rating threads after each game....what do you think his average rating has been?
I agree he's good to have in the squad, playing in positions and being back-up when we are thin on the ground...but him on the teamsheet makes me as nervous as hell....occassional back-up player at best IMHO, but 30+ games already this season
Om nom nom nom nom hat
He'll get a lot of bashing regardless of how well he plays. Hopefully he plays well anyway.

I'd go with 7. I genuinely can't think of many games he's been below par this season, apart from the ones where the whole team has.
Ha! Agbonlahor can run all he likes but imo he is no where near as skillful as Young on the ball, Agbonlahor is likely to play on the left anyway and vs Evra its going to be about even. And who would you rather have in defence? Lets give our youngesters a try or bring Vidic on...
Panic Aaaaaaaaah!

yes in a defense that did not concede a goal for a record period of time
Mike Riley....
Well if he gets a assist or goal then it'll be good for his confidence and the fans will have some faith in him. If he plays like how he has in previous game i actually fear he may get booed...
I believe it'd be muchh lower than that, I've seen him get 4s and 5s quite regularly
anyhow, enough of that - back to the game, need as much positive energy as possible
KERM ONNN UNITEDDDD
Reminds me off the West Ham game last season (2nd to last game of the season)....

I've seen some toss arguments used on net forums but I think using the average rating from the match rating thread is a new low
Do you think this is a better indicator than the clean sheet run we went on with JOS as an almost ever present or the fact that SAF has been picking him week in week out over the last four months? Our defence has been the best part of our team this season, no one can doubt that and JOS has featured regularly in that. Sharky is right, he has been one of our most consistent players this season.
Can we please at least finish the game with all 11 of our players on the pitch,even if we go one down lets not panick and give up the game in one incident.
Hope the young striker gets on scores and scores a hat trick,a young player wankfest is just what the doctor ordered for redcafe.

In what way? We were playing a West Ham team with no motivation whatsoever.
Excited and nervous
COME ON UNITED!
COME ON UNITED!

In a season where not only are we in a position where we can go on and win an unprecedented amount of trophies, but also a season where we've relied heavily on our defence because our attack has been off key.
I don't see why he makes people nervous still (and I hope I'm not forced to eat those words by the end of the game).
Parallels, West Ham was a must win game because we lost to chelsea the week before. Many were scared our boogy team would come back to haunt us. But we flew out of the traps in that game and got a few early goals... I just hope it starts that way today
But why does he have to be skillfull? You were complaining that Young would just knock the ball past Neville and run, Agbonlahor doesn't have great technique but he can do that just as well as Young
And Agbonlahor won't be the left as Young will be there, Milner on the right.
I'd rather have Neville RB and O'Shea CB, Neville is a better RB than O'Shea and while O'Shea is pretty average at CB at least he has the height to deal with Carew and Agbonlahor who both tower over Neville.
