    1-1 at old trafford

    Van der Sar fault for the goal and fletcher for not marking the smallest man on the pitch (pitifull)

    why the hell didnt Van der Sar catch the first cross??

    thats why i think foster should be given the chance this season

    and i see carrick is gone now and the god that is oshea is on

    should have brought on Possebon imo, give the lad a chance


    is tevez injured ?
    Tevez gone home to Argentina, family bereavement.

    Making comments about VDS so early on in the season is ridiculous, he is still a top keeper and our top keeper.

    Bringing Possebon on in such a big game at the start of the season would been crazy. No room to be giving anyone a chance.

    He hasn't been amazing, but this looks like a better Duff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 231 ✭✭DarenO


    Great save Friedel, down his neck but it was hit with power


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Foster is definitely a better goalkeeper than VDS.

    Campbell is far too slight , really needs to bulk up.

    Opinion, one I'd agree with, he makes the same error's and has very questionable decision making shown up well today.

    Strange opinion to base it upon , Foster has the potential to be a quality keeper, but all we have seen from him is two years in the Championship. VDS makes one mistake and its time for the scrap heap , BS I say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 231 ✭✭DarenO


    Trevor Francis got it right for a bluenose, consolation goal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    full time 4-2

    11 goals in 4 competitive games so far this season


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,109 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Coulda been 4-3. Sturridge looked quality again. Start him ffs

    Well done Villa, great start hope for more of the same for the rest of the season, can't wait to get over to VP

    Frustrating game. United getting killed by injuries/awaytrips/suspensions again just like last season. Carrick going off has visibily made us worse. I can't believe, well no I can, but i'm very disappointed he brought on O'Shea, he offers so little. That said, he's good in attacking corners so lets hope that works out.

    VDS at fault for the goal. Foster was always going to push him this year. Last year however VDS was very very good and its unfair to say otherwise.
    Why is Fletcher marking Martins? No sense to me, he's a terrible header of the ball. Fletcher doing well otherwise, mega prediction from me :)

    Campbell playing v. well I thought, he's doing exactly what we need him to do. If he had scored that goal (he shoulda) he'd be the MOM so far.

    Nice to see the much vaunted man marking system work so well..:P

    He's been good, but I think he needs to bulk up a bit. He's getting pushed off the ball a lot. He's very good with the ball at his feet though.

    Question for Villa fans, will ye miss Mellberg this year guys?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,681 ✭✭✭Chong


    Hear Hear Tom, really needs bulking up, being pushed of the ball cause he is small and light.

    At fault for the corner maybe. The goal was the fault of whoever left Martins alone for a free header. Nothign beforehand excuses bad marking.
