[Moothead2]

Mourinho's never had much luck against Villa in the league. Long may that continue .

 

[Mr-White]

I'm almost glad we didn't sign Benteke after the goals he's scoring

MW

 

[Purdy]

Fear for Agger vs Benteke, he gon get raped. Kolo probably be fine against him

 

[NeedAUsername]

benteke saves the day

Hope they beat Chelsea, gives me hope that United won't get owned by Chelsea like last season, we were pretty bad against them.

Technically Chelsea haven't scored against Villa yet then, ha. C'mon Benteke, get a hat-trick.

 

[Moothead2]

Lukaku warming up has me worried. Such a good player.

 

[nemtizz]

Romelu on please.

 

[Moothead2]

Ball by Benteke .

 

[maj]

2-1 Ivanovic

 

[dmcg]

should have been sent of tbh

 

[Moothead2]

We create by far the best chances and then we concede the first one we face...

How was that even a free kick anyway?

 

[Purdy]

Doesn't take long to remind me why I'm glad Shreeves did that to Ivanovic the ****house

 

[Moothead2]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[dmcg]

still not getting the chelsea hype pool could easily smash them let alone utd and city

 

[Moothead2]

****ing penalty!

Scoring two goals in a 2-1 loss is incredibly frustrating.

 

[Purdy]

Can't half tell that behave is back in the league

 

[Trusty]

Vila were hard done by..

 

[Clearly]

Benteke gonna destroy Agger

 

[Moothead2]

Sending off? Maybe.
Offside? Yes.
Penalty? Definitely.

I'd also like to see why the free kick was giving. Looked incredible soft to me, especially considering Lukaku just carried on as if nothing happened.

 

[manic111]

Watching the highlights, villa are playing some really good stuff.

 

[JohnnyG]

That was 2 points (at least) gained as Villa are nowhere near the side we demolished 8-0 last season and probably deserved at least a draw.
They were compact and organised and executed their main game plan well, which although consists of humping it long to Benteke is very effective, they'll take points off many of the better teams in the league this season.
Not sure about the Ivanovic elbow incident having now seen a replay but JT's handball should've been given.
A great fighting win though, that's another thing that's been missing
