Match Day Thread Aston Villa v Manchester United

Reckon Herrera will start as villa dont carry anything like the threat spurs did. Dont expext two holding mids either.

United win. Performance better but still rusty.

 

1-0 or 2-1 to United (fingers crossed)

 

Januzaj starts instead of Young. Rest of the team remains unchanged. So Depay as AM again.

 

Cant contain my disgust tbh.

 

That 11 looks a lot better than some of the teams we put out last year.

 

Januzaj to play AM and Depay LWF. Fair play and thank fck.

 

Big opportunity for Januzaj. Hopefully he'll step up! Will also be interesting to see Depay on the wing. Romero in goal worries me, didn't help seeing him spill a soft one through his legs during the warm up! I think Gestede could cause him and Blind problems if he comes on.

 

As luck has it he is on the bench to start.

 

Note my edit! Surprised and pleased that he's not starting!

 

Slow start. Struggling to string two passes together in villas half.

 

Monaco v Lille here.

Magic.

 

We might stand a chance of opening them up if Rooney actually stayed up front. Someone tell him we have enough midfielders this season!

 

that is a good Aston Villa side,
we look unable to pass or create real chances

 

Hes a pain. Just stay forward ffs!

 

A good villa side? Whats one of those?

 

Yeh very well organised and telling us to try and break them down. Still dont think we're helping outselves. Build up is too slow, too many unnecessary passes and Rooney dropping back.

 

Definitely need Herrera on the pitch.

 

First couple of pieces of direct play and we create chances.

 

Not sure they are organised. Very energetic and pressing well so far. That corner early was very poorly defended too.

Think we've just been a bit **** so far.
