Redas,

Happy?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Very happy... I actually have hope again. Lets hope it does'nt get ruined again.

We cannot have Eriksen starting games. We are going to pay the price for it.

Good performance tonight, think Villa could’ve won had they not played such a high line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To be fair they've been pretty good with it until tonight? I agree it's a risk but when used correctly it can be effective?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree, but when you go 2-0 up away at Old Trafford, and we’re creating chances, surely you have ti be pragmatic at half time? Poor from emery imo.

come on lads. Not many teams play a high line like villa did. Don't fool yourselves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What the f@ck? You do know they three points off the top defending this way?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They've conceded 25 goals, the same as Man United. They're 3 points off top because of their attack, not defence.

Everton and Brentford have conceded less goals than Villa but don't have anywhere near the firepower of Villa.

Yeh probably right in certain games to keep it tight, and get the points, I remember Ange at Celtic and whilst we were obviously up against worse teams he never changed his approach, were times when it was the last 10 mins and maybe 1 up and he was still playing a high pressing line and I see he is similar at Spurs, not sure about Emery though, has he always played in that manner?

Spot on. Eriksen playing helps a lot.

I agree to a certain extent, he can open teams up better than what else is in CM but is kinda slow and the pace around him can cause us problems but overall I'd play him in certain games where we need his smarts

We need an upgrade on Eriksen, but his (and Bruno’s) speed of thought and passing is a big part of why we beat Villa.

We play plenty of teams that play a high line and lose most of them… so highlighting it seems a bit daft…. We just clicked extremely well for about 60 minutes. Let’s hope we can do that more often

We need to get rid of onana, he’s cost us far too many times now. Roll on ACON

Defending that way is conductive to their attack.

he's so crap it's unreal.

Is it confidence or just lack of ability

Lack of confidence could be a big part too… The way he ran to Rasmus makes me think those two feel the weight of being the “failed” transfers.

Both. Terrible signing. ETH should be sacked just for signing him

Sadly for Onana the howlers have overshadowed some of the saves he has made that kept us in a match and there have been some.

I hope all our failed signings don't start running to the Stretford End to celebrate. It'll be like the beginning of the London Marathon whenever we score a goal.

Yea…. I’ll never give up on someone after half a season where the entire team have been poor…. If he’s still howling once a solid back four are in front of him, then fair enough

Aren’t any saves that ddg or any half decent keeper wouldn’t have made, and has let in many ddg woukdnt have. He’s a massive downgrade. Can’t wait til he facks of to ACON so we can see what the Turkish guy can do
