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

Yup. Season is still well on track to surpass my expectations, but still, what a shitter of a night.

[479Villan]

Midfield is out of gas and being shorthanded without Kamara has caught us.

[Shirtman]

Luis and Ramsey didn't look interested. Our attackers couldn't hold the ball up and Carlos can't concentrate.

 

[MCU]

Christ… I haven’t felt this angry for a while. Atrocious performance, and made them look way better than they are. To bottle a 2 goal lead the way we did is **** shameful. 
How the **** can you expect to be in within the big boys if you can’t see games out like this? We had them on strings for **** sake, they were literally get booed off at half time. 

Someone else said it but it’s the hope that kills you. 
 

**** off Villa and thanks for ruining an otherwise pleasant Boxing Day.

No matter who our manager is, what players we have, the mentality never changes. 

That was a pathetic performance. Couldn't string a pass together. 

I hope our owners get the cheque book out on Jan cos we need 2 or 3 players.

2 dreadful performances back to back. Something needs to give. 
 

and **** you Kamara for your stupid red card 

Just how irresponsible does that red card look now?

[Rosch]

We’re afraid of heights. 

[Lord Willard]

Brilliant first half hour cruising 2-0 up. A few sloppy passes giving them possession and allowing  the crowd to get behind them. One way traffic from 30 minutes till the 99th. 

[Genie]

I’m annoyed we lost

I’m annoyed we had a comfortable lead and blew it

I’m annoyed we conceded 3 to a team who couldn’t buy a goal

I’m annoyed we conceded a winner to someone who hadn’t scored in over 1,000 minutes

I’m annoyed millions of neutrals tuned in to witness us absolutely shit the bed

[Nicho]

Missed Kamara and Pau. While some good moments from Carlos and Lenglet showed why they are not the starters.

Luiz and Watkins anonymous, Mcginn and Konsa look knackered.

Ramsey, Diaby and Zaniolo need a kick up the arse. 

Digne injured.

Great game

[Indigo]

That was some old school Villa bottling that you could see coming from a mile off.

[Keyblade]

I can't even be mad, I knew this was going to happen. Hojlund first goal and everything. 

[Zatman]

Embarrassing but predictable..dreadful performance

[pregra]

Nice to see the old Villa back. Was a great run, some wonderful times. Burnley getting at least a draw next game. Not a chance in hell to get a CL place, must prioritize conference league when it starts back up

[Villan_of_oz]

I will keep it short, then I'm going to play golf so the dreamers can attack my post all they like.

Unai's management of the last two matches has been odd, and it's cost us two results.

Luiz was so incredibly poor today I'm in disbelief.

Watkins was poor (yes I said it)

The only players that can hold their heads up are our "terrible" squad players that too many on here attack.

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

Who the hell is Liz?

Emery's timing of subs is usually pretty good. I think the Ramsey/Zaniolo Bailey/Diaby switches came too late. Things didn't change too much with the switch but at 2-1 it needed something.

I knew we would lose the game the second they scored their first goal. 

Seemed to me like we tried to just ride the game out at 2-0 to conserve some energy for the games coming up.

You just cannot get away with that at this level despite how bad you think United are, they are still a top half side.

I'm not upset, I'm angry. I'm seething. Because this was completely avoidable if the players mindset was switched on.

Especially Old Trafford. You have to be on it for 90 minutes and more as their crowd, on Boxing Dayz will demand a performance.

I trust the manager but he massively got it wrong at 2 up. Hugely. And so did the players. For side that is good at handling a team pressing them we panicked, and got overrun hugely.

[AVTuco]

My old Villa is back!

Unai very poor, Carlos horrid, Konsa getting turned over all the time, Moreno rubbish, Luiz horrible, McGinn terrible, Bailey and Watkins non-existent.

We're starting to move downwards in the table, it's inevitable. Our performances have dropped significantly.

[Bizzzle]

**** woeful performance
