Steero113 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 This is the one side in the league I hate more than Liverpool. For that reason I just can't help but feel there is going to be a hugely spurious VAR call that decides the game in those shitheads' favor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobs Posted January 1, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2021 I must admit, I dislike United a lot less with OGS at the helm. Really like the guy to be honest. Just saying some really nice things about Villa there on Sky Sports. Him and Smith must be 2 of most likeable managers in League. That being said, I hope OGS has a petted lip by end of night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We'll give them a game I'm sure but this is United and well we all know how terrible our record against them is. I'd absolutely take a point but I think we lose tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird how we all see things differently isn’t it. I can’t stand OGS, for no rational reason other than his face irritates me. I think it’s his eyes, he always looks so smug with himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I'm feeling really good about this. Not out of cockiness, but I really feel we have a really strong chance in this match. We win: shows we're the real deal We draw: shows we're no pushover We lose: unless we get completely thrashed (doubt it, but probably will happen now that I've mentioned it), it's no big deal losing away to the team now level at the top of the table There's absolutely no pressure on us yet the team are flying high with confidence at the moment and know we can take it to them. On the other hand, Man U "shouldn't be losing at home to teams like Villa" if they want to win the title or finish top 4, so all the pressure's on them. That's a very good mixture and bodes well for us I feel. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I think as a team they shit. Players have no urgency, team has no identity or way of playing. Pretty much every game I’ve seen them I’ve thought how does this team ever win games. Yet they have so much quality on the pitch they keep having a few moments of magic to win them the game. I’d take a point against them any day but I’d love to see us show them what a proper ‘team’ can do against a bunch of talented individuals that seem to have any decent coaching. The way I see it with Man U is they finally click and become a team that challenges for the title. Or their luck starts to run out and the results start mirroring their performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) If we lose tonight then it’s not unexpected, Man Utd are clear odds on favourites and in decent form. They have a massively superior squad in terms of money spent and they’re at home. However, we’re in great form and have shown we can beat anyone on our day. We’re dangerous going forward and can defend well. I’m not confident that we’ll win, but I am confident that we’ll give them a good game and we won’t be dominated. It could go either way, and I’m happy with that compared to previous years. Let’s hope for a spot of luck and that we take our chances.

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted January 1, 2021 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 They're one of the form teams in the league, they're flying and looking to go joint top, we've beaten them once in the league in our last 43 attempts. I'll take a draw. We're a good side, we really are, but I think we'll lose this one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobs Posted January 1, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2021 I have strong feeling it will be 2-2 with a Villa victory only thwarted by a late Bruno Fernandes, VAR awarded, penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If wolves had a striker with eyes they could have won 3-1 quite easily. More luck than form but they are winning even when playing terribly which is even more worrying.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Surely Watkins gets on the scoresheet today. They may have more individual talent but our team chemistry and ethic is better and that more than evens it up. Just hope we can be clinical when we get our opportunities. McGinn and Douglas have been brilliant together, big game in the middle for them. Jack is going to run the game again. Hope he upstages that cheat who we need to keep out the game.

ferguson1 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Still think we’ll sneak it but have this itch that’s telling me VAR in the final minutes may spoil the evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just your fault. I put £2 each way on him being top scorer after his hat-trick against Liverpool. VAR hasn’t helped matters but I do think I’m partly to blame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 If we can get the ball into advanced areas i think we can hurt their defence. They are still winging it at the back, even though form has picked up a bit. My only concern is i bloody wish we didn't play them in that friendly before we started our season. Might know more about us now rather than if we caught them cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Man Utd are 3/1 to score a penalty and 7/1 to win from behind. Tempting odds to temper the anger if we do lose from a last minute penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
