De Gea is dodgy as ****

Jeez, this is an amazing spell from us. Just felt we had to score there. We won't get many more openings. We're playing without fear though.

Corner. We've changed the shape slightly, and look so much more composed and effective when we attack.

Lallana wouldn't look out of place in any side in the PL.

Well, Man Utd have switched off. Now we need to click.

Pretty flat/rubbish corner from fox.

Lallana has made things happen.

It wasn't going to happen for Gaston today, a fair sub. Not a fan of keeping players on the pitch just incase they do something. Not looking like an away player thus far.

Started the 2nd half alright.

Gaston off, Lallana on Puncheon off, Davis on.

Not welcome in this thread fella...

Is being at 2-1 now seen as unacceptale then? Please, revise your expectations of this team and the players we have. We're a good side, but Man Utd won't have to play amazingly to beat us. That's football. I've seen better sides play a lot worse at OT, that's for sure. Let's see what the 2H brings.

Stop wumming.

We're competing to be honest. Man Utd were always going to be better than us, so not sure why people are having meltdowns at the fact that they look better than us. If they switch off 2nd half, we still have a chance. But we'd need them to switch off.

Morgan has had a nightmare tonight though tbf.

Some of the comments on here beggar belief. What in gods name do people expect from this team? There are some games that are far and beyond us. This should be one of them, but are we doing badly? No.

And that is exactly why we don't announce things before it's 100%.

Tommorow is a bonus to me. Kind of treating it like a Friendly warm-up for Saturday! We could do with a win on Sat, but even a draw would be decent IMO. Nothing wrong with a point away in the PL.

Only if Norwich and Fulham both lose.

I think they'll struggle whoever they have as manager. Their squad is just not good enough Players like Bannan, Baker, Westwood, Lowton, Bennett - shouldn't be playing PL football. But they seem to equate to Villa's spine, which is why they're so screwed.

Wasn't a bad set of results all told. Bonus game for us tomorrow.

Villa lose, they're in a bad place right now - although that 2nd half was decent.

Weird choice for the live game, it has to be said.

well done stoke. useless side.

Happy for Villa to lose.
