Been pretty baffled at the overrating of Villa on here.  not sure if it's based on their performance against you last season. 

 

Sliced open with ease today, and a pile of defensive mistakes into the bargain. They're nowhere near as good as people think. Completely dominated by the top three second half of last season. They're no threat at all of breaking into the top four. 

 

Today has been men against boys. 

I'd say that's a tad harsh. They were in it for the first 60 minutes, and that's without mentioning the injuries to Mings and Buendia that have made this a truly shit week. 

 

I'd say this; the data for last year had Villa as a bit more lucky than good. There is always a likelihood they regress this season because of that, but they did drop big money on Diaby and Torres. I agree, they're not contenders for the top four, and I think they'll probably get top 8 if it goes right.

Hinchcliffe wondering whether it would have been this bad if Mings stayed on the pitch. 

[Numbers]

Well that was shite.

Hanging out with the people that said we wasted £40 million on a shit Anthony Gordon.

Gordon unplayable at points today, his pace is frightening.

Villa are far better than that, we made them look poor. Absolutely brilliant performance from us.

 

They had three key players out through injury tbf.

[maybe_next_year]

Bruno was so massively important to us last season, so to win by 4 goals in a game where he was our worst player, is really, really positive.

Fucking fantastic.

That was us on a 7.

I just love how we don't let up, we're totally relentless. I don't think i've ever been so engaged in the team.

Not sure why the sky sports commentary pool is thin enough to use him, Don Goodman and Alan Smith.  All absolute fucking whoppers.

You were running past statues in that second half. They don't have it. Games are longer than 60 minutes. 

 

Even before today I'd have been nervous about Newcastle coming to Old Trafford, but completely confident with Villa. Feel free to quote when it bites me in the arse.

[Hank Marvin]

FUKN LOVE IT.

Good grief that midfield three. Thought Bruno was sloppy n'all but still, fuck me what a unit. 

 

Sensational second half. Hilarious that Villa are getting tipped to topple us. Thanks for the points and the early momentum, lads. 

 

Such a tough midfield man, with so much character and quality. Unreal.

Subs gonna win us this game, it’s a plan?

just saying like.. ??

[PhilT]

Just about perfect. Against a very decent team that we made look average. 

[M4]

We could have genuinely scored 8, 9 or 10. And not just from crazy chances we missed some relative tap ins.

 

Absolute statement win as well broadcast to the world.

 

Well, I'm scared now about the hope

Statement win. Look lethal going forward. Bring on Man City. (I still expect us to lose that mind lol)

 

Ratings

 

Pope - 7 (only low cos one shakey corner clearance)

 

Trippier - 7 His deliveries seemed off today

Schar - 9 Imperious I thought

Botman 8 Nearly let a goal in falling on his arse, but assist!

Burn - 6 Diaby had his number i thought

 

Tonali - 9 Thought he may take time to settle, he looks absolutely class. 

Bruno - 5 Poor game by his standards

Joelinton - 9 Doing the 'i am everywhere doing everything' and even had some nice short technicall passing thing

 

Gordon - 9 Looked great, lovely assist, caused them problems

Isak - 9 He's a proper finisher, so calm, should have had a hat trick

Almiron - 8 Every blade of grass as ever. Bad cross notwithstanding

 

Subs

Wilson - 8 Unfortunate to be second choice

Barnes - 9 looked very very dangerous

 

Others not on long enough to earn score

One of the most satisfying wins i've ever enjoyed watching. We so owed these for April and all the pre-season hype they've been getting. Aye, Emery has improved them but got sick of fucking hearing about what they're going to do this season and how tremendous things are. Good luck to them after today but we are fucking brilliant man. Love everyone on here.
