Manchester United 1:0 Aston Villa

Rashford made a few wrong decisions there, but he's also the only player we have at the moment who can fulfill that over the top threat role. And it's big for us when we're winning.

Good goal but still not good enough. We’re being outplayed by every single team we face.

No but it's a definite improvement. If we keep up a steady improvement we'll be alright.

DavidDeSchmikes · Jan 10, 2022

Good last 10 minutes there.

Red Dreams · Jan 10, 2022

We are playing well.
They are a well drilled team tbf

awful spell. It’s been a while.

No question, but he still put up 28G and 16A in 64(4) the 2 years before this one, so he was still productive while struggling last year. He's really only been "awful" this season. Either way, he, Greenwood and Sancho is a good level of competition out wide if we start taking to Rangnick. If he gets beat out by those 2, we're in good shape.

Happy to go into the break in the lead, fantastic ball in by Fred for Scott’s goal. The performance is still a little shaky, we look very vulnerable from set pieces and we have been sloppy on the ball as well which has given Villa some great break always. Tidy up our game and we look threatening enough to put the game away.

Rashford should pass to Greenwood and missed Bruno earlier. He’s a selfish player

No worries. His PR firm is browsing little rashy pics to make his next IG post "powerful" / "brave".

I like watching Mings.

I remind myself he's played for England so it doesn't matter how bad you are at your job... there's hope.

Orton · Jan 10, 2022

Still got a problem where most teams we play against are much more well drilled than us. Still like a bunch of strangers at the park bar a few decent moments.

Our team has talented footballers who are prone to making terrible decisions. Bruno, Greenwood and Rashford have all done some good things on the pitch tonight, yet at the crucial moment they lose their heads and shoot when they should be passing

We.still play as individuals. Not a team.

Canucantona20 · Jan 10, 2022

We get outplayed because of CM cannot keep the ball. Also the CB’s don’t pass it to Mcfred too

Great pass by Greenwood that. Rashford has to slot Bruno.

Shocking display by him today

Tuned in just a couple of mins ago and saw some really good play. Rashford's pace gives us lots of options, and he played a great ball to Cavani for the Bruno shot as well.

Not too upset with him for that last one.

Well, you're clearly not enough of a deranged, raging lunatic to post here.

George Beast · Jan 10, 2022

Incredible how bad Rashford has been. Genuinely impressively bad for someone of his capability. I feel like it's harder to be as bad as he's been than it is to be decent.

How can Mctomminay play like this and then around two levels below the next game? If he maintained this he'd be a beast.

He's always going to be like this.

Bar the goal, I still think villa are cutting through our midfield.

4 out of his last 5 games he has been one of our best players, the other one he was terrible.

Is it fair to say Watkins is better than Rashford now?

It's easier to perform at Villa than United. Big club, extra pressure.

Get Rashford off. Should never have started anyway and just proved yet again its all about him. Selfish

And sub on who?

space · Jan 10, 2022

Would love to see Amad at 60 minutes for Rashy

KeanoMagicHat · Jan 10, 2022

Still can’t believe Rashford didn’t pass earlier to Greenwood, fecking hell. Shocking, shocking play.

darko · Jan 10, 2022

I thought Rashford had a decent half.

Banana Republic · Jan 10, 2022

Overall, no fluidity in our attacks.
It’s all make up it as you go and players wondering about all over the place.

Poor old Eddie.
I know Cavani is well short of sharpness or match practice, but he looks like he’s been woken up from a deep sleep at 3am in the morning and asked to run around a bit.

Ralf has got to strengthen our midfield in the 2nd half, or Villa will get lucky next time.

KennyBurner · Jan 10, 2022

As bad as we were defensively I think we have created a few good chances without Ronaldo in the side.

He's a good player in bad form and while he was frustrating at times, he's playing better tonight than the previous few games. Besides you're complaining that he's starting in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.

it is fair to say every villa player has played better than every united player today, bar maybe de gea who made a few stops

UnofficialDevil · Jan 10, 2022

Bruno Rashford and Greenwood should be doing so much more, Cavani too. All have been very average.

Yea we stringed some passes together at times... I guess that's an improvement. The standards have been lowered beyond belief but I get your point.

redom · Jan 10, 2022

Much better than recent displays so I'm happy enough, you can still see the lack of confidence and form in most of the team so it's no surprise Villa have had their moments but if we build on this type of performance and iron out the mistakes then we should start to head in the right direction. Still a long way to go of course.

V.O. · Jan 10, 2022

Biggest half-time change is to get a mug of Horlicks inside Dion Dublin to take the edge off the 20 Red Bulls it sounds like he's downed before the match.

Dare I say we look much better without Ron ron?

Utd scorers this season - Ronaldo 14 ; Fernandez 5 ; Greenwood 5.

Chicharo · Jan 10, 2022

When Rash starts running down the wing, you just know he won't stop until he goes too far wide
Again we're giving the ball away and leaving acres of space in midfield

Canucantona20 said:

Yes. I also think both Fred and McTominay are poor in defensive positioning and awareness when defending. I suspect their work rate gets confused with ability to defend properly.

SuperiorXI · Jan 10, 2022

That Rashford pass on for Greenwood at the end is much harder than it looks on TV. He basically would have needed to release it exactly at the right time with good weight.

Yeah there's definitely more desire on display tonight.

Dazzmondo · Jan 10, 2022

It's not been great but it's been an improvement. Concerned about our defensive shape. Fred and McT have been good in parts today but they are pushing up and leaving gaps between themselves and the defence which Villa exploited a few times. Think our def line should be higher. to help compress the space a little bit. Dalot and Shaw have been decent going forward. Bruno has been good when he's been on the ball. Formationis a bit all over the place. Think it's supposed to be 4-2-2-2 with Bruno up front but Bruno is drifting (understandably, staying up their would be a complete waste imo). Rashford and Greenwood haven't been good. Yet again those 2 wider positions are really struggling to make the difference. Rashford is getting involved a lot tbf but his quality on the ball has just been rubbish. Pressing hasn't been very organised but there has been some more effort at least. We definitely need to score again. Can't imagine Villa not scoring unless Rangnick gives Fred and McT different instructions.

TheReligion · Jan 10, 2022

No idea why people are moaning at Rashford.

Bruno is the issue
