Match Report – Manchester United 3 Aston Villa 2

If you judge a match by the scoreline, most of the time you would have a good idea of what happened. This match certainly does not fit in that category, Villa were robbed, at the very least we deserved a point, if not all three. Every single Villa player on that pitch gave it their all, and it showed. United were pinned back for a large portion of the game, and the times that United did push forward, they simply couldn’t get into our box, resulting in many wild long range efforts from various United players.

The first goal was an absolute shocker all round, it came against the run of play, and I still have no idea what Milner could of possibly been thinking when he passed the ball straight into Friedels hands, and I still have no idea how we let United score from the resulting free kick.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being bitter about the whole thing, I thought we showed some of the spark that we used to have at the beginning of the season, we played an absolute blinder, and if we were facing any other team than United, we would of taken 3 points easily.

Looking at the big picture now, the rest of the games on our schedule are do-able, if we play like we played on Sunday, and with Abonglahor back on the score sheet, we should be able to take a few points. Everton is the next match, which is arguably the hardest match left, and will be a real test, but with Arsenal’s heavy schedule, and Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea left to play, fourth place for Villa is certainly NOT out of view.
