Emi Buendia, tek a boo son. Absolute class when he’s on song. 

Seems harsh when he played so well!

[Django_Zooms]

12 minutes, 1 assist, 1 goal !!!

And full credit to Mings for that total football surging run.

A warning on here for calling out others negativity, we made mistakes but we we’re never out of that game.

Reminder to self, stay out of the depressive pit that is the match thread!

Been there.  a couple years ago, I helped myself by liking every positive post.  Whether I agreed with the content or not.  It helped my mood.

Nice debut by Coutinho. Buendia improving game by game. Digne is such an improvement on Targett, it's like playing in cheat mode. Too bad we keep making these stupid mistakes. 

[MCU]

Pheeeewwwwww! 
 

[Ponky]

Buendia probably played the best of any Villa player in any match this season. 

Ramsey was spectacular second half and Phil's appearance really transformed the energy and dynamics of the team. 

Special shout out to both Carney and Hause for coming on and doing their jobs really well. 

Gifted two awful goals to them - one of the worst Utd teams on paper I've ever seen. 

Hopefully this can kick start the rest of the season for us.

3 games in a row he's made awful subs. Day to day, he's class and a step above what we've had before. But I'm starting to believe he can't manage games. He is struggling though and not finding the gaps to allow us to win games. 

I actually thought Coutinho did okay when he came on. Only 1 goal and 1 assist but he carried the ball forward well as well at least.

Come back from my walk to a draw  Happy with that.

I really really hate the ManU cheats and the corrupt referees but I will save my riot for when we lose

£4 acca, cashed out at £117 as had United to win, a minute before Ramsay scored. 
 

2-2 draw, Ramsay hits genuine PL quality and a starter for us now. And I get £132. 
 

May have a w*nk in a minute 

That calls for a big one surely, enjoy your evening.

[VillanousOne]

Hard to really blame Gerrard for Martinez's utterly comedy own goal, that basically knocked our confidence and game plan so badly.

Sanson's stupid pass you can coach out of him.
 

I still think our biggest issue is our lack of attacking threat, Coutinho and dropping Ings might help that.

[Dale]

Watching back the second Utd goal. Can't put that on Sanson, Digne dropped him in it.

Benjamin Zephaniah introduced him to Villa at reggae night in Amsterdam.

I love it when I moan all game and then look like a word removed. 

First half was a mess but as is the norm with us under Gerrard, the second half was an improvement. Buendia absolutely ran the show, he's just getting better and better as the games go on. MOTM by far. 

In the cup game I moaned about the subs but today they were spot on. Coutinho was obvious but bringing Chuk on helped massively as well, great cameo from him.

That's a huge point though, for us to come back from 2 down against United of all the teams considering our record is bloody good. If that doesn't give them all a huge psychological boost then god knows what will.

Buendia pass to JJ for Coutinho goal was incredible

One of those ones where the defender is like

"I can get that, I can get that....****!"

[sheepyvillian]

Didn't see that coming if I'm to be honest. We showed great fight and great heart in a dominant second- half display. Best players for me, Ramsey was everything you want from a midfielder after the break,.Buendia was just guile personified. Sanson played well, shame about the mistake. I thought Mings was immense in that second- half, it was his sheer determination that got us that second goal. 

On the downside, I thought Cash was woeful, and not for the first time.

Shout out to Chuck, too. Showed some neat touches.

If you’re Chuk, you want to be on the pitch with Coutinho. Learn from a world beater. Come on 

[PieFacE]

I would have taken Ramsey off at half time so shows how much I know. Watkins and Ings just do not work at all. 

[Hank Scorpio]

One of Ings' or Watkins needs benching. They simply can't play together
