That's a really good win against a very good side.
They've not lost in ages, so for us to beat them is a big tick for us.

They beat the press really easily several times and the game was really stretched.Yes the levels dropped again in the second half, which is worrying, but apart from Lindelöf’s goal-line clearance we controlled it in a decent manner. They didn’t really create anything.
Yeah he was terrible. Wasted everything that went to him.What did you think of rashford then? Absolutely diabolical I take it ?
Was just thinking the same. Thought he played quite well today and seems to be getting back to his old self.Shocker from Sancho? It wasn’t though
As shit as he is, Maguire had basically nothing to do with this game. He was on the pitch for what, eight, nine minutes in total? And we ceded control long before he came on.Maguire is the answer to a question absolutely no one is asking.
"Bring Maguire on to see out the game", and yet it's the very act of bringing Maguire on that usually causes the instability in the first place with which leads to us not seeing out certain games.
And at times we pinned them back with very good counter pressing after losing the ball.They beat the press really easily several times and the game was really stretched.
Did not result in shots on goal because we got back somehow but do that against Pool / City / Arsenal and we'd be looking at 2 goals atleast.
Villa is one of the best teams in the league for a while now, scored in every game and you’re complaining it was a close game?We’ll be spanked by Brighton if we continue to turn up for only one half of each game.
Glad for the win but we made hard work of it yet again. When will we ever learn?!
Yeah terrible chemistry. Rashford and Eriksen the main guilty parties today. Thought Sancho did well and the defense/casemiro was solidOur final pass selection is shocking, could have had 4 or 5, Villa were begging us to score
We can't play the same players for 90 minutes, every game, otherwise we risk using the players you mentioned for 90 minutes instead of 20.We were solid for 70 min....until the subs come on. Then it got all disjointed and nervy.
Fred, Martial, Maguire......they threaten to undo everything. I really don't understand ETH.
It’s 4/6 from 5th and 6th which will give us top 4.Good win. Can’t see how a win v spurs would have sealed top 4 but this doesn’t but it’s 3 points all the same
He can’t be relied upon to defend or hold possession in the latter parts of games. I think he’ll work better for us as an impact sub next season if we get a solid creative type midfielder inGreat win and a solid performance. We desperately need a better midfielder than Eriksen though, he looks sluggish.
I think it's a good sign we should have scored more against one of the best defences in the league over recent week, if not a bit frustrating.Quite an easy win, in all honesty. They didn't really have many chances.
We did mess up quite a few chances to create chances, though. Need to improve on that.
When Sabitzer barged into the back of a defender in their area completely needlessly, giving them a free kick and time to regroup after a period of United pressure... I almost screamed. If he had just left him alone, it wouldn't have been easy to get the ball out...This team is addicted to making stupid fecking fouls.
You are kidding me right? Our players can get their legs hacked off and we will still not get a penalty nor will any opposition players get a red.I might be alone but thought that was a clear penalty on Rashford
Big win ahead of two difficult always
Great result but we had chances to increase our lead on multiple occasions and I felt the nail-biting finish at the end was avoidable. It could on any other day have ended up as a draw. But a win is a win I suppose. Onto the next oneVilla is one of the best teams in the league for a while now, scored in every game and you’re complaining it was a close game?
Just a few days ago Ten Hag was telling us how tiring this week has been.
It’s a great win
