Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Man United

[MCU]

As if these frauds have took 6 points off us this season. 

[bobzy]

No real urgency or creativity tonight.

Man Utd more than happy to let us have the ball and hit on the counter.

Overall, pretty poor. They felt there for the taking and we did anything but. 

[Stephen_Evans]

I just do not understand how they do it again and again. 

[Mantis]

I actually barely feel anything. I accepted long ago that Man United will always have an unbreakable psychological edge over us and that the best we can hope for is a couple of wins and draws every decade, at best.

Good performance. We deserved to win. We were really unlucky. We just need to take the positives out of the game and move on. Let’s hope Boubs is ok now.

[AV82]

We completely deserved to run away with this match tonight. A mixture of inept, corrupt officials and some of our boys misfiring yet again sees us fall laughably short.

Disgraceful refereeing.

Played well today unlucky not to get something out of this, going off clear cut chances should have won but you’ve got to put your chances away. The two goals we conceded were piss poor defending.

Played well. Didn't deserve to lose. Defence obviously a weak spot currently but have players returning.

Defence didn’t miss chances.

Our finishing cost us. By far the better team. Death by a thousand cuts from the ref but is was the lino and VAR who cost us by not calling the clear offside before their corner. Casemiro obviously effect play even thou he didn't get on the ball.

Cash is a weak link and Ramsey needs to learn to hit his passes with more pace.

They moaned about the fans all week. Yet they had them there amped up, baying for blood at 1-1 with United's players heads gone and proceeded to do **** all.

Finishing cost us today. If we play like that for the remainer of the season we’ll be fine. 

Correct, and we need to route out our silly mistakes and switching off. 
 

We lost because we didn’t take our chances and that hurts more tbh. 

[switters]

Overall performance was decent but just utter failure in the crucial moments. 

We had to take this match when we equalised. Pissed away chances and let them score with first attack in ages. Emery has to take some blame because his changes did not work and it was collective failure not to win from 1-1 when they were completely there for taking. 

In a grinding  battle for 5th now and we'll be the team falling away. Feels like there will be no happiness any more this season.

Outplayed Utd and lost to a bad goal from the officials, a bad goal from the defence and we should have scored four in the second half.  Unlucky that the shots we did all go well all hit their keeper.  But play like that and we will win a lot more than we lose.

You joker. That's the best we have played for about 10 games, we were the much better team, seasons back on

You really think we were gonna win that, all about the way we played against them for me, woulda beat Chelsea with that performance. 

He called us a "joke of a club" a few weeks ago in the best season we've had in 15 years, take it with a pinch of salt  

[the_eristic]

Hello from America. I hate United so much it's unreal.

Like at home to City? Or Arsenal? Or when we had to beat Brighton to clinch European football? 

Neither of us had any pressure. We were not expected to win. Brighton was last season.

Season over. Inevitable that was too

We're in fifth and have a five point gap. 

[ChicagoVillan1983]

Anyone saying we played badly is wrong. We dominated 75 mins of the 90. Ramsey was annoying in finishing all day. Should have gotten a lot more goals and then conceding two should not have been a problem at all.

Managers performance was good, we had some bad luck today.

We’ve **** it. Not an over reaction we’ve been shit for weeks. Top 5 will soon slip through our fingers. 

Still 5 points above United

[ozvilla28]

Our back 4 been garbage conceded 8 in the last 3 home games and we changed nothing injuries aside no excuse. Conceded a sloppy goal early and the second the same.
