Post-match discussion


Fri, 01 January 2021

That was fun, not had squeaky bum time like that in a while.
 
We made that so difficult and were again, really rather poor in the last third. Rashford needs a rest. Save him for the Liverpool game.
 
Great result, very good performance too.
 
This was a fantastic match even if it was so tense. Villa fans should be proud of their team actually, they have become such a tough team to face.

Fantastic win for us. Fantastic 3 points and did really a pretty solid job keeping the win.

3 points and join top. Get the feck in !!
 
Unbeaten in 10?

Solid win. Could have scored at least 4. Joint top of the league. :drool:

Brilliant way to start the new year.
 
Thought I was going to be sick at the end there.

We don’t make it easy for ourselves at all but what a result and look at the league table now!
 
Great game of football... Such fantastic quality on show.

Fair fecks to Villa, they were excellent... So with that being said, well done us for doing enough to beat them.

We must buy Grealish
 
fecking hell what a block Bailly. Saved Pogba's (who was one of our best performers) skin there.
 
Rashford was absolutely dreadful today.

Bailly was my MOTM.
 
Fecking huge win! Level on points with liverpool, nerve-wracking at the end but Villa (and Grealish) have been excellent this season and put up a very good fight.
 
We deserved that, only 2 days to prepare, a real tough side and we played some good stuff.

Football is a funny old game Villa obviously we’re gonna come at us, they were always on the ascendancy being a goal down.

We need to cut out these brain dead goals we keep conceding as they will cost us. We seem to concede comical goals for fun.
 
Massive 3 points that! Villa are a really good side this season, and have the results to back it up. We could have got more if we were more clinical though. Well done lads. Hats off Eric Bailly. I think Jack Grealish is the best player in the Premier league.
 
3 points is all that matters. Level on points with Liverpool with same number of games played, job done.
 
You can tell that these players think they can win the league.
 
We give the opposition way too many chances and way too much time on the ball. Grealish turned our team into a nervous wreck at times.
Great win but we make it so difficult for ourselves at times.
 
Villa are no pushovers. Very good game from us.

I changed my mind on Grealish, play him on the left and Rashford on the right.
 
That was a tense game, good performance from both teams. Soft penalty won it but defender shouldn’t have tugged back on Pogba so he only has himself to blame. Bailly gets MOTM for me who was great at the back!
 
Pogba was nice today man. Martial looked like he was back. Our options are nuts atm. Bruno so reliable from the spot I don't even worry. Shaw was dangerous. All round nice game
 
We were bad. Rashford needs a rest.

I'm liking this thing where we win home games now.
 
Another massive win. After bombing out the Champions League we’ve won 4 drawn 2 over Christmas in the league and beat Everton away in the Cup. Brilliant form.

2 massive moments of stupidity from AWB (cost us a goal) and Pogba (almost cost us the win) but overall a good performance against a very good Villa. We could have killed it off sooner to be honest so good to see us shaking off the home curse now.
 
Great win! Probably expected a more comfortable second half as we played so well in the first, but the second half was scrappy in every sense. We got it over the line, and that's all that matters. Joint top now. Happy days!
