The more I see that Fabio effort, the more disappointed I am it didn't go in.

Would've been cracking, but he's clearly confident and raring to go... I reckon Fergie should give Evra some down-time, captain or no.

That Pogba lad is some player isn't he?
Very disapointed if he leaves...

Fabio's end product (ie. Crossing) is better than Evra's for me.
The only thing that annoys me a bit about Fabio is he's quite reluctant to go on the outside, and cross in on his left. If he was paired up with Nani or especially Young it might make our play a bit predictable and narrow as we'd be constantly cutting inside. Evra on the other hand is a very good decoy runner with his overlaps and gives us more genuine width on the left, although his final ball can be poor.

Cracking goal... We're still going to have to earn it.

And I'm not sure I share your concern, Cutch... if he were supporting Nani/Valencia/Young he'd probably find it easy to mix it up. He's a smart enough player, attacking-wise.

Yeah, maybe so. Just a fan of good old fashioned width. Without Evra we'd be likely fielding an entire team of right footers.

This is turning into a demonstration into how to shoot from outside the area.

Nice to see Smalling's not wearing the Cech-hat.

There's the two goal advantage back. Smalling with United's third.

Cleverley's got some good high-speed close-control of the ball... I think he's going to be the business for us... Screw the naysayers, I'm damn sure of it.

Villa's CB on the right side has looked solid - hard job but has done well.

Could somebody kindly PM me a stream. I know there can't be a long time left in the match, but it would be appreciated.

Edit: Thanks. Got it.

Manly tackle by Tunnicliffe there, ironic that it's the number 7 guy who made an identical tackle and was let off who is whining to the referee.

That Villa player has been talking himself into trouble all game.

Would probably get sent off for that in the Premier League.
Yeah, the studs were showing and he probably would get sent off but I think it was a great tackle. Won the ball with a hard tackle, pisses me off to see people sent off for that.
