Aston Villa vs. Manchester United

Mental defending from Rio, then. :eek: Mustn't have known there was no-one covering down the left.
 
Weird game

Not really, its exactly as expected with this starting lineup for us. We dont have any midfield runners to connect Rooney and RVP with our posession play in the middle, so they end up having to come deep to get the ball, leaving us isolated up front. The only way we will ever get chances is through individual brilliance from Rooney or from crosses.
 
That wasn't offside, Rio. Shit defending ain't gonna be helped by yelling at the assistant.
 
It's 'Be kind to Villa Day' for the officials, apparently.
 
Predictable, slow football. Who's in the middle, oh Scholes and Carrick. Is anybody actually surprised?
