VillanousOne Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 if there is one team where we just seem to get nothing from even when we have played well and they have been utterly awful, all the fortune and luck goes their way. It is a disgusting hoodoo. I despise them so much even if they aren't the super power they once were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah manure may not be a top 6 side currently, but I still think the mental block or whatever it is would hold for this game. Nah. sure none of these players have ever been by utd at old Trafford as villa players, let alone consistently. There isn't any mystical hoodoo over this fixture. It's just in the past utd have been a better team than Aston villa. Not so much any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So have Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool yet at different stages in last decade we've had a pretty decent record on those grounds. Every season under Lambert we seemed to go to Anfield and win and also had a fantastic 3-1 at Arsenal on the opening day of 2013 season. Yet nothing at Old Trafford, not even in their bleak years under Moyes and LVG. Edited November 30, 2019 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I feel that a lot seem to be vastly underestimating United, since Solskjær came despite all the criticism they've still shown top six form, which whilst nowhere near as good as where they feel they should be it's still good enough to make them clear favourites against us, especially at Old Trafford, if they click they're capable of winning tomorrow by a big scoreline.

VillaChris Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Tweet on redcafe of Man. United squad arriving at Hotel. No McTominay despite reports he'd be fit for the game. They will pick 3 central midfielders from options of: Pereria, Fred, Levitt, Garner, Lingard, Mata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, they still have world class players that on their day can destroy any time, they just don't click as much as a team and have the same amount of quality in all areas like the teams above us. We deserved to get a point or more from our games vs Arsenal and Liverpool, which shows you we can compete, we just can't seem to defend our leads late on in games. I am happy we beat Newcastle but they were so poor I don't feel like we really learnt anything more from our team and tactics last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted November 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2019 Hate ManUre. Hate 'em and their glory hunting fans with a passion (mind you, those fans probably now follow Citeh). What make it worse is that we never get anything against them.... ... and, sadly, I don't see that changing this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Aston Villa have the ability to control the midfield and could definitely take some points from this. The key for me will be bagging an early goal.

Johnnyp Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 This was the Liverpool - City fixture back in that glorious 92/93 season. We ran em close. The Villa park fixture between us and United that season was an unreal game of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Spurs had a similar record up to a few years ago but have since done well against Man Poo so there’s hope for us. Yes, but United post Ferguson have been reliably mediocre. This is as winnable a game for Villa at OT as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the opposite to you in that people are giving them too much respect and believe they are still a masterful side. Yes they are favourites for todays game but only because they are at home. I hope our players dont go into the game giving them too much respect. They are there for the taking. Not just saying this because I'm a Villa fan but genuinely and honestly feel our defence and midfield is better than theirs. In fact I think only 3 or 4 of their players would improve our team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Gae, Maguire, Martial, then one of either Rashford or Dan James on the right wing. I have purposely not included Pogba as (apart from a purple match when Ole first went there) he's not really tried to play football during his man utd career.

Kingman Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Depends on what Villa team turns up, Day dreaming bottle jobs at wolves or grafters that put a shift in against Newcastle. It really is that black and white. Edited December 1, 2019 by Kingman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
