Maybe, but with our record against UTD away would you blame us trying to just hold what we have .. ?

No, but I would contend that:

- lumping high balls up towards a tightly marked Agbonglahor is not ideal;
- when you turnover possession and have the ball with a bit of time in the middle of the pitch, your players need to be bombing forward in support;

If he is a genius, today's game isn't a convincing argument as to why.

Delighted to see Villa win that like, hopefully that's your result of the season and we can beat you Tuesday night

Great result for Villa, big chance of taking 4th.

Awful performance from United. Just awful. No urgency, no magic, no ability to breakdown a resolute defence. We dominated the game, had so so so so much possession and territoriy, but couldn't do much.
Starting with Giggs was a bad mistake. Park offered little to nothing. Valencia had his worst game in quite some time, probably ever for United. Carrick was average, Anderson was awful. Gibson did okish when he came on but didn't offer anything much extra. Berbatov was actually ok, except he missed our one best chance. Owen I forgot that he came on.
Rooney, some people will laud his performance, he never gave up, chased everything, etc. etc. It's not his job to win back possession in our half. It's not his job to drop in front of the back 4. He needs to learn some discipline. Him getting the ball back there means nothing, since theres nobody up front to do anything with it. Extremely ill-disciplined performance from him imo, combined with awful awful awful usage of the ball.

ShoulderChip

Thought Villa could have taken them out sooner, still a win is a win, might be the start of the inevitable slide for United.

Do you reckon you could lose 4 though?

ESPN are a joke, completely biased and at the end when the commentator was talking about United's injuries he called the Da Silva twins " the two Rafaels":mad: Give me Setanta's coverage anyday with that pompus Pat.

The Sparrow

Sweet Jesus. Please, please, please sign a decent central midfielder Fergie.

Terrible result but fair play to Villa. Probably should have been longer injury time but that was far from the problem today.

Indeed. Now you can lose 3 and win the league. But if you lose 4, you've no hope of winning the league.

High level of logic there.

I hope you're a satirist, because that's the funniest thing I have read on this website in months.

Up the Villa.

who's the lad that said he'd eat his hat if Villa win. Stick the video of the hat eating on youtube please thanks...

Although I generally disagree with sitting back and hoofing the ball away, I think Villa were so comfortable defending any crosses or long balls into or near the box that maybe it wasn't as bad a decision as people think.

Besides a win is a win and all that.

Thee times there was a villa player down for over a minute on the ground, three minutes is a ****ing joke.

Still congradulations villa deserved win.

Villa come to Old Trafford get the lead and don't bottle it

Rooney gets a yellow for diving

Great win for Villa
However they will throw those 3 points away....

daveyboy_1ie

Ref done well today for once, United were just never at the races and Rooney was totally out of it, yet was unlucky not to score. I think the three minutes injury time was a bit of a joke, I would like to see how many Villa players were treated in the second half but it seemed to be at least half a dozen. Coupled with the substitions mathemtically its impossible for only 3 minutes but there you go. But his decisions were in gerneral very good.

Rooney was for once punished for the type of dive he does too often for me, what is about Scousers and diving??? It seems to be bred into them

LuckyLloyd

No doubt that there should have been more than 3 minutes of added time, but it is very difficult to sympathize with Utd on this particular point.

In fairness Utd could have had another hour and would have struggled to score. Final ball was atrocious all night and there was no imagination anywhere.
