Ratings & Reactions: Man Utd v Villa

[LondonLax]

At least people are not blaming a referee conspiracy which makes a refreshing change

[villa4europe]

Anyone but these words removed

Awful second half. Unai will be furious. Team looks tired to me which is worrying. 

Hopefully we can steady the ship with 3 points at home v Burnley but we'd benefit from a couple of signings I think. RB to keep Cash and Carlos as squad options, and a better striking option than Duran.

The last two matches have been the worst two matches under Unai's watch, he takes some of the blame for the last two results.

Thought Deano was managing today with the late subs...

[Giro]

Think that one is on Emery 

[jacketspuds]

It's the performances against the out of form teams that will stop us getting top 4.

[Tom13]

Absolute horror show.

Aside from two set pieces created fa against a bang average side, and let them back into the game giving up chance after chance.

Pathetic!

[R.Bear]

Villa ruin Xmas yet again. I was expecting the worse yet still was disgusted.

[CanuckVillan]

I'd have taken a genuine challenge for a Top 6 place at the start of the season.  

[Aston_Villan4]

Hopefully today is a good reset for Emery and the squad since they were terrible all around and it’s been showing for a bit but hey, still sitting 3rd with half our starting lineup out and the January window right around the corner. I’ll take it.

[jim]

Dog shit. Been coming.

Did Watkins touch the ball?

No need to overreact but season over. 1 point from Sheff United and Man Utd. An atrocity.

Season over?!  

[GlobalVillan]

And that is why it is NOT negative to think we arent yet top 4 material, that title talk is laughable and that the starting 11 today was the worst we have put out this season.

We were bloody awful for the majority of the match. We need to find a way to beat Burnley at least. 

Kamara you ***** idiot.

Lazy, low intensity garbage second half. Disgraceful. Every one of their goals stemmed from casual carelessness. 

[ozvillafan]

There's the Villa I grew to know and love!

After having complete control of the game after 25 minutes, we simply switched off. Zero effort, zero composure on the ball, no 2nd ball, no period of sustained possession/control.

Iroegbunam MOTM - nobody else deserves it.

There's been too many bad performances, wins against arsenal and city papered over the cracks. We'll be lucky to finish fifth at this rate.

At least it should put an end to the embarrassing title talk on here. We were never in the title race. If we finish fifth we'll have done very well. 

The 'cracks' were the losses of Kamara, Pau, Liz for a game, surely? We were astonishingly good against City, and put in a strong performance against Arsenal, that isn't papering over

[SimonVilla]

Lucky to have been 0-2 up. Seemed to be a big lack of urgency and I thought Unai responded too slowly too. 
 

[rbcuk]

2-0 up should never be losing to them in the form they are in, Subs was far to late, ramsey offered nothing, absolutely pissed off with that 2nd half 

[Mr_Dogg]

Shit performance. It's fatigue that's the problem , nothing to do with bottling. We can't handle  injuries and suspensions at all 

[mykeyb]

Our midfield was non existent, but we didn't have anyone in the bench that Unai thought could do a job by the looks of it. Kamara getting that red has cost us
