Just win baby. Just win. 1-nil, 11-nil, 3-1. Just fecking win and roll on Palace.

sunama · Apr 14, 2016

Home game against the whipping boys.
I think if we play these guys with 9 men, we should still win.
3-1.

Globule · Apr 14, 2016

There's not been many times this season that I've been able to say it but I'm confident. I can easily see us getting at least 3, nay 4, shots away.

cjg-888 · Apr 14, 2016

Hoping we demolish them but i would not be surprised one bit if we make it hard for ourselves and make them look like an in form team.

Livvie · Apr 14, 2016

2pm?

Loublaze · Apr 15, 2016

Labored 1-0 win with first shot on target in the 63rd minute

Biggest Caf meltdown in history.

we would fecking erupt :lol:

part of me wants it to happen just to part of the monumental server breakdown that would engulf the site

Havak · Apr 15, 2016

I'd like to see:

De Gea
Valencia Smalling Blind Fosu-Mensah
Schneiderlin
Herrera Fellaini
Rooney
Rashford Martial

But I don't think Lingard will be dropped, unless LvG thinks we can rest a few here and play the likes of Memphis and Young.

Ballache · Apr 15, 2016

I would like to see:
--------------DDG
Darmian-Smalling-Blind-CBJ
-----Herrera-Schneiderlin----
Young-------Mata--------Memphis
------------Rooney------------
Some players need a rest, specifically Martial who's looked knackered recently.

LuisNaniencia · Apr 15, 2016

We will probably make this much harder than it needs to be.

Kaos · Apr 15, 2016

It would be hilarious if we lost tbf :lol:

0 - 1 (Fellaini OG)

WPMUFC · Apr 15, 2016

1-1

it's time for LVG to shatter our positivity from the FA cup win!

Of course. Like so many times before; our tactics and play were seemingly good against West Ham. So now, this match, everything will be absolutely terrible. Has happened so many times this season, I've lost count. It is a type of consistency, though, I'll give LvG that.

I think that's about right. Rashford off the bench for either Rooney or Mata (depending on how Rooney's looking) could have a nice impact. I think I'd start Fosu-Mensah at RB though.

Gerald G · Apr 15, 2016

It will be 0-0 at half time and we will end up winning 2-0.

I would love us to beat them 4-0. How many teams have failed to score 4 goals in a single league game this season?

I feel that he could do with rest too, 3 matches in a week might be too much for an 18 year old who's not used to it.

a_devil_inside · Apr 15, 2016

Villa usually play well against us so I don't think it will be as easy as some think

lysglimt · Apr 15, 2016

Quite possibly the weakest side we have ever met in the P.L - 8 straight defeats - goal difference 3 - 24 in the last 8 matches.

I remember Derby - but I actually think this Villa side is weaker right now

Villa don't usually concede 24 goals in 8 matches leading up to playing us. Nor do they usually lose 8 matches in a row doing it.

Fair point. I think he's probably fine to play, but makes more sense to save him. Valencia can play RB.

I'm very much in a "anybody but Darmian" mood. (Within reason, I'm not advocating Romero play RB).

villain · Apr 15, 2016

If we don't smash these lot then whats the point??

Inigo Montoya · Apr 15, 2016

remember all those months ago when we won 2 in a row and Villa were the second team we demolished 1-0?

m1tch · Apr 15, 2016

If there's ever a fixture that we should be able to rest a couple of players and not affect the result then this must be it?!
Maybe give Valencia a start at RB, Morgan for Carrick, maybe Depay for Martial and Rooney for Rashford for an hour?

That should be good enough shouldn't it? It's not as if we have mugs coming in-those are proven quality players that should be able to put a relegated team to the sword

Turnip · Apr 15, 2016

If we don't win convincingly then we don't deserve top 4.

DomesticTadpole · Apr 15, 2016

PRESS CONFERENCE ENDS
The manager closed his pre-match press conference at the Aon Training Complex by providing a further update on Ander Herrera - having already spoken to MUTV about the Spanish midfielder. He said: "At this moment, I don't know, as the diagnosis is still yet to come. It is better to do that after two days, so I haven't heard about him yet. It is not so heavy we think, but we have to wait and see."

Don't know if this is going to affect team selections.

CM · Apr 15, 2016

We should use this opportunity to give those in need of match sharpness a game and bench anyone in need of a rest.

I'd like to see this in defence:

de Gea
Darmian Smalling Fosu-Mensah CBJ

I'm not fussed about who plays in attack really, we should put them to the sword regardless. It might be a good time to bring Rooney back, though.

Magnus · Apr 15, 2016

Ddg
Valencia Smalling TFM Blind
Young Schneiderlin Herrera Memphis
Rooney Fellaini

Give Martial and Rashford a rest.

Jazz · Apr 15, 2016

We're going to make this difficult for ourselves aren't we? :lol:

If we can't twat Villa away, and by an acceptable scoreline, then I will literally give up.

Our record V Villa is brilliant. They're probably the team we have the best record against.

zeekey · Apr 15, 2016

0-0 or losing 1-0 HT and fumble to a 2-1 defeat after Villa decide what the hell we've got nothing to lose so properly go for it.

"I think the fans were waving and cheering Louis Van Gaal I think" before going on to blame injuries and declare he's signed a contract extension.

golden_blunder · Apr 15, 2016

jaysus if we get beaten by Villa the meltdown will be immense. Under such circumstances LVG had better sneak out of the ground under cover of darkness!

Who am I kidding, we'll clap them off the pitch

if we don't score 3 against this lot we should just give up football

Doubt there is a team we have a better record against and this is the worst Villa team ever.

"Aston Villa had 3 more days to prepare, it's not so easy to win in the Premier League. I'm very happy with the unbelievable spirit that my players showed to equalize so late in the game. Now the fans shall go home happy and we have already seen it by the way they chanted "LVG's red and white army"."

Keenst · Apr 15, 2016

Please say CBJ is back for this game? So much better than Rojo.

Nah, if he's back he'll replace Rashford up top.

sunama · Apr 15, 2016

I do wonder, before Villa travel out to an away game (with their horrendous form), what does the manager say to his players?
How does he inspire a team who lose almost every game?
Is it even possible to inspire a bunch of players who have such little confidence?
Are there any football coaches who can shed light on this?

6-0

Rashford hat trick. Rooney with lots of assists.
