Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by Cristalz(f): 10:50am On Dec 11, 2009 |
Manchester United take on Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Saturday evening in a bid to close the 2-point gap between them and Chelsea on the table, or make sure the gap stays at 2 points. Manchester United are still faced with a long injury list, most of the names belonging to defenders. Names on the list include: Nani, Wayne Rooney, Wes Brown, Nemanja Vidic, Gary Neville, Edwin van Der Saar, Fabio, John O'Shea, Johnny Evans, Dimitar Berbatov, Rio Ferdinand, Owen Hargreaves. In attack, Wayne Rooney is expected back for this game. Aston Villa are a formidable team so it's quite likely that Sir Alex brings Rooney in, especially with United being so close to Chelsea. We should have Michael Owen/Wayne Rooney(if Rooney starts), or Michael Owen/Danny Welbeck(if Rooney doesn't start). Now, Sir Alex's midfield has become something even the best soothsayer cannot predict. With midfielders like Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher being deployed as defenders, one has to wonder what exactly the middle will look like tomorrow. Vidic is expected back tho, so Fletcher should return to the middle. Valencia, Giggs, Anderson, Scholes and Darron Gibson are the players most likely to feature. Valencia's pace and Anderson's strength will be useful against O'Neill's men. Fletcher's midfield skills too. In defense, the injured names expected back are Edwin Van der Saar, Nemanja Vidic, and Wes Brown. Wes Brown is still a doubt, so we will likely see Van der Saar back in goal, Evra as LB, Vidic/Carrick in central defense, and Ritchie De Laet as RB. Aston Villa are a big deal. . .it really would not be wise for Sir Alex to field only 3 men in defense as he did in United's UCL game against Wolfsburg. The primary goal for United will be to keep from conceding. Martin O'Neill heads to Old Trafford with 4 key defenders injured. However with the pace and physical strength possessed by most of his players, and of course skill, O'Neill surely thinks a win is possible against a currently depleted United side. In attack, top-scorer Gabriel Agbonlahor, John Carew, and Emile Heskey are ready to go. We'll likely see Agbonlahor and Carew heading the attack if O'Neill decides to play 4-4-2. Midfield will definitely have Ashley Young in it, as well as James Milner, Steve Sidwell, and Stewart Downing. Gary Gardner and Nigel Reo-Coker should be on the bench. In defense, Aston Villa have got Craig Gardner, James Collins, Wilfred Bouma and Curtis Davies out injured. All important defenders. . .so they've kinda got a similar defense issue to United's. Craig Gardner is expected back for this match though, while Collins is a doubt. However the reliable Richard Dunne is available, as well as Carlos Jimenez Cuellar, Luke Young and Stephen Warnock. And of course, goalie Brad Friedel. So it doesn't really look like Aston Villa have got any serious issues in defense. This match won't be about which side plays better. . .it will simply be about taking every chance, and keeping a tight defense. |

This match won't be about which side plays better. . .it will simply be about taking every chance, and keeping a tight defense.wow! are you saying Villa are Chelsea or Pool? and the game is at OT not Villa park!!! The gulf in class between our players and theirs is like a billion miles I disagree the match wont be about how well we play cos they would be at the receiving end of a UTD that are ready to decimate any opposition till say february UTD 3 villa 0/1 and did you say Carew and heskey? when Carrick and Fletcher held dzeko and Graffitte Villa are destined to lose emphatically |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by Cristalz(f): 11:20am On Dec 11, 2009 |
TKB, underestimate Aston Villa at your peril. Those guys can PLAY when they put their minds to it, and as usual, they light up best against big teams. Gabby Agbonlahor, Ashley Young and James Milner would have a thing or two to teach Grafite. Young and Milner are midfielders, but dearie, they are hot goal-scoring midfielders. Trust me, Villa will bring game to OT. And remember, it's not like we have never lost at OT before. United can win, but we will need to take all our chances. And let's hope VDS won't be wobbly. |

If the backline still looks the way i saw it last, i'm afraid this is a loss. This is villa, with some of the fastest and skillful players in the league. . . With a million crosses. . . Big men up front. . . Scoring defenders. . . Concede corners at your peril. Manscum 2 - Villa 3 |

Cristalz: U know say TKB sabi make mouth. . . . .if we lose now or draw, im go begin find SAF wey im go slap!! Without questoning the quality of the opponent. . . but i think we'll nick this one. We have always had the indian sign (apologies Nyabinghi) over Villa. But am just worried about the people manning the flanks Cos thats where their strenght indepth is. . . wish Fletcher will be in the middle to nick them there!! But surely, we'll win.2-1 or 3-2!! |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by tkb417(m): 11:59am On Dec 11, 2009 |
u don miss am the reason why UTD have been dealing with them is cos they like to take the game to us. This is OT!!!!!!! Milner and Young to teach Graifitte something? Young and Milner are still learning football and hey we are gonna have Ando, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson (Gibson and Milner are mates ) see, they will play to their best and thier best would definitely not be enuff. did you see their game against Chelsea at the bridge? clueless!! we are not mates and of course our mates are Barca and Chelsea not Villa if we play well, Villa will be dead in 45mins if we dont play well like we did against Arsenal, we'll win the game still maybe in the dieing minutes. Games at OT are destined for teams to lose ask real madrid and Barca and even Chelsea we have lost at OT b4 i know but not when we are in good scoring form. U and Emperoh una be the same thing |

Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by Emperoh(m): 1:26pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
TKB Nah. . . . .i agree and disagree. . . . .Villa has a way of playing games with us. Remember, they nearly did us in yesterday if not for a moment of brillance from Giggs and Mercheda But somehow, win or loose, i love games with them cos they are among the non big 4s that take the game to us. So if on their day we don't play well, we might just bid the 3 points farewell. I am only worried about who's playing on the wings. . . once that is sorted, i will rest!! |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by abrahym(m): 1:34pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
another 3 points for the red army |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by tkb417(m): 2:36pm On Dec 11, 2009 |

Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by BinghiNya(m): 3:16pm On Dec 11, 2009 |
If Villa like let them field messi, United has the indian sign over them. Teams like Tottenham, everton,villa will always be raped by United anywhere, anytime no matter the circumstance. A solid midfield will keep young and agbonlahor quiet. 4-1 to United if we score early. United ain't chelsea or Liverpool wrt Villa. |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by ab2j(m): 9:45am On Dec 12, 2009 |

Villa do use al they have to see the dwn fall of the big 4 bt nt to United. Who know how to deal wit them. City, Everton nd Spurs are the victims of circumstances. I know the guyz United, wil took the game as serious as it is. Villa wil score bt United wuld WIN I LOVE OBERTAN and HE LOVES ME TOO. In my place they cal him |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by TIMTOP1: 2:36pm On Dec 12, 2009 |
Mind u,vidic has no injury and also wayne rooney as u said, manu attack gona be awesome with giggs and rooney in the attack,the midfielders are valencia(right),scholes(middle),anderson(middle) and park also at the left flank, so we gona destroy aston villa cos they arent better than wolfsburg |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by MAXP1(m): 2:39pm On Dec 12, 2009 |

FERGIE'S XI: PIG Fletcher Brown Vidic Evra Carrick Anderson Valencia Giggs Park Rooney |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by Cristalz(f): 6:34pm On Dec 12, 2009 |
Players file out. . . I am not confident about Park. And, Rooney is not so hot as a point-man. Dunno why Fergie keeps putting him there. Guess we should see a Valencia goal tonight. Heskey starts for Villa. |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by Dclique(m): 6:35pm On Dec 12, 2009 |
Villa have a good start. |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by Cristalz(f): 6:36pm On Dec 12, 2009 |

Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by Sauron1: 6:48pm On Dec 12, 2009 |
Valencia is a limited player. . . . .He can as well have his left foot amputated. What a retard!!!! |
Re: Man United Vs Aston Villa [0 - 1] On Sat 12th Dec by Dclique(m): 6:49pm On Dec 12, 2009 |
Valencia still has a lot to learn before he can be compared to ronaldo. |
