Hes why we didnt the summer gone but we do need another as Matip is finished.

Matip has only had one season with us being consistently good and injury free, we have always needed a back up for him to some extent

Otherwise he is good for a few games then just injured the next

Though one of the best free signing we ever had

 

[Robbo]

Villa will of felt like could get a win regardless I suspect

Definitely, they are heavy favourites here. Rashford starting too, I mean he's been utterly atrocious all season... barely resembles a footballer.

Could be pretty ugly...

Odobert and Trafford both had great games but Tierney was Burnley’s best player.

 

[C Kent]

Nice win with these refs trying their hardest to screw us over, endo quietly our best player again, looking a bargin at the moment. Couple of players anonymous yet again. Great to have Jota back.

What has Gakpo done to you?

 

[omnomnom]

Have Villa ever been favourites at Old Trafford?

 

[Calpol]

No Amrabat in the squad. Another injury?
Mainoo and Eriksen in midfield again seems a bit lightweight. Especially as one is coming back from injury and is only good for 60 mins. Oh Erik, I do wonder at times why you think this playing two number 10s is the way to go with this team.

 

[mid_gen]

Quite like Mainoo and Eriksen on paper. Mainoo is smart and good at hoovering up, can hopefully stop Eriksen getting too exposed defensively, because we desperately need his creativity going forward.

 

[shipinabottle]

Possible pidgeon-ing... However I have a feeling Hojlund's going to break his league duck tonight.

There's more creativity in the team and whilst I think Rashford is so ineffective for the amount of chances... He's probably less selfish than Antony.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Villa have a few key players out tonight. Surely they still have enough to cope with United though.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Feed the scousers…

No one got a bomb they can set off?

 

[omnomnom]

I noticed that aswell. 3 minutes in lmao

 

[Calpol]

Awful start - all from Evans pondering on the ball. Invites pressure. This will be another long night.

 

[Robbo]

They'll shut up soon when Villa score

Strange chant considering it’s United and Newcastle fans who I’ve heard singing it this month. Both cities have some of the biggest food banks in the country. I guess you can’t expect much research from your typical football fan though.

 

[eurokage]

Honestly, Højlund's first touch is really poor. You literally have to give him the pass on a plate because you can bet your life he won't be able to control any other kind of ball.

[Bounce]

Rashford looking gash as usual

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Rashford needs to go so badly Hes a pessenger and contributes little

 

[omnomnom]

Rashford looking gash as usual

You arent surely blaming him for a pass that was completely on and wasnt made?

An issue with him throwing a strop fair enough but he's had nothing to work with.
