That row of Radcliffe and co look overjoyed

 

[Robbo]

Not sure what Maguire is so upset about there? Elbowed Watkins in the face

 

[Shamikebab]

We are getting such soft yellow, Villa get nothing lol.

 

[Nate75]

Pathetic yellow.

If the player is ellowing with intend then it's a red.

 

[mid_gen]

Pfft, will end up with another red with this ref handing out dodgy yellows like this.

 

[JamesH85]

This games complete garbage.

 

[adam cool dude]

This games complete garbage.

No one is forcing you to watch Manchester United. Lol.

At the rents and sky sports is on there 24/7

 

[Robbo]

De Ligt coming on for the injured Maguire it seems.

A reasonable first half from us but by god, Villa have been very pedestrian.

 

[el_dazza]

That was an awful half. Can only get better surely.

 

[Robbo]

Lindelof and De Ligt on

 

[Shamikebab]

2 injuries

I've seen worse and it about as cohesive as we could expect given the shambles of the last two matches. United's attacking play is poor. It's almost totally reliant on an individual pulling out a worldy. The three forwards have little or no interplay or even creative space making. Eriksen has actually been decent at stabilizing us but he'll gas in 15 minutes and leave us exposed. What does it say about this squad that Johnny Evans was probably potm for the first half?

Lindelof and De Ligt on

Lindelof hasn’t even played in the Premier League since March. Bringing him on makes my brain hurt.

This game would be over by now if Villa had actually decided to try, clearly a little lethargic after Bayern.

 

[Robbo]

Mazraoui injured, he was good in the first half I thought.

Lindelof has barely played.

Haven't they had an extra day's rest to us?

 

[Robbo]

Haven't they had an extra day's rest to us?

And their game was at home. I don't think it's that. You do sometimes get a lethargic performance after a big win, so I think people mean that.

Indeed. I didn’t go into specifics, just saying what I see.

 

[The_One]

As the game stands ten hag is getting a new 2 year deal

 

[Calpol]

Rashford has grafted off the ball today much better than normal. I'm quick to criticise him so comment for balance but we need a goal!
I'd be inclined to try Zirkzee on for Hojlund. Rasmus just isn't in the game at all.
