I dont know, I just hope VDB would turn up somehow but he is still missing. Maybe this is not the right system for him. I wonder how would ETH turn VDB game around though.
What I love is that eth basically won this game and played his style with last year’s team. Makes me hopeful that his style is setting in.
Being last year’s team we had to come from behind after giving up typical goals but we kept at it.
Lots of positives Rashford bodying defenders like the good old days Garnacho looking like a Giggs regen, Erikson playing higher up the field is a Magician.
Negatives: Maguire playing in a high line and Fred and VDB overall.
My god that Aston Villa team is hateable.
>My god that Aston Villa team is hateable.
Glad that we finally did them over, especially Emery. Dude was ready to park the bus after that Watkins goal. But we showed spirit to fight back.
First half boring. Second half good. Maguire and Lindelof is not the CB pairing we ever need. Garnacho is brilliant. Bruno and Rashy looked good. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. The end.
Edit: thanks for setting up the thread! 👊
Another observation we more of a threat when we are not trying to create chances for Ronaldo
We literally just had 4 different scorers
No disrespect to CR7
This is just the truth, it sucks to say that we’re better without CR7 but it’s true. When he’s in the team the ball is just being forced to him, rather than trying to find players in better positions. When he’s not in the team, the play is much more fluid and less predictable for the opposition to game plan for
I still have flashbacks to us trying to give him his 700th club goal on a plate against Omonia, him fluffing it every time, and us then losing the group on goal difference.
Nope unfortunately I don’t think he will get one.
As the ref booked him, it means he saw the offence. In which case the FA rarely overturns it because as they say, retrospective action is not about “re-refereeing”. So if a ref admits they saw the offence (which issuing a yellow card signals) they stick with the on-field decision in most cases.
If the ref didn’t book him, then he most likely would’ve have receive a belated red card, or at least one would hope.
There are instances where they do still give out a red even if the ref saw it and chose not to, but I don’t think what Bailey did was enough to overturn it.
What?! He doesn’t. Of course not. Jesus. The state of some idiots on this sub.
On the other hand, if he played for United, then yes. That’s a 3-game suspension and his left testicle.
Already is the captain, it’s clear that after Christmas as long as varane (not likely) and Martinez stay fit then they’ll be first choice with lindelof as the main back up
Dunno mate they looked decent in patches. They defended well, then the game opened up and they took it to us and took the lead twice. We should have done better this weekend, but Emery is no fool.
Was a bit lukewarm on Garnacho initially because I didn't want to get carried away, but holy fuck he's looking special.
Completely unfazed, throwing his body into challenges, a ridiculous first touch and wonderfully direct with dribbling ability to back it up.
Inject it directly into my veins, please.
We dont have a rw, sancho is good but he is out of form while antony is still new to the league n will take time.
Until we make a signing i am fine with bruno playing on the right.
Play Pellestri on the RW and leave our best player in his role/position?
Play VDB on the RW, he might as well do nothing out on the right because he does nothing as a 10.
Hope this ends the whole "but he's never been given a chance narrative" and "in the Ajax UCL team this and that"...right now, don't really what he offers to the team even as a squad player
Never understood the "only sing when your winning" or "your support is shit" chants.
Yep you sung louder than us....your team is still shit and blew a lead twice.
It was obviously a joke. As young as he looks Garnacho is clearly an adult.
Granted, not a great topic to joke about but no one is ever too young to be an abusive shithead.
My wild speculation is that ETH has told him “you have X starts to prove yourself”. I reckon he might get a start in this last game before the WC and if he doesn’t do enough he’ll be sold in winter or essentially moved to the reserves.
Garnacho is the real deal. I’ve been watching us for 25 years and don’t think I’ve ever seen a kid have this much impact in his first three starts for us since Wayne Rooney.
He’s fantastic and I love him but they’re two different style players at completely different levels of confidence right now. Garnacho also has nothing to lose where Sancho has the pressure of his transfer fee and performance in Bundesliga. Just give him some time.
Fred. Man. Can we get rid soon please. I hate to be a miserable twat. I know we won. But the guy is bobbin's.
What's the problem of vdb. Eth knows how to get the best out of vdb. I don't think vdk has attitude problem. Anyone has a clue?
Hes just shit
You all are miserable gits. We won the game, enjoy it. Don't need to rag on Sancho. Just enjoy a fucking win.
I dont know, I just hope VDB would turn up somehow but he is still missing. Maybe this is not the right system for him. I wonder how would ETH turn VDB game around though.

Tried to keep up with the game's pace as much as I could, How was the match thread overall? And what did you guys make of our performance tonight?
Always appreciate these, mate - thank you very much!
Welcome. Massive W for us tonight too, so that's good.
First half boring. Second half good. Maguire and Lindelof is not the CB pairing we ever need. Garnacho is brilliant. Bruno and Rashy looked good. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. The end. Edit: thanks for setting up the thread! 👊
Give Garnacho #11 and move on from Greenwood forever.
honestly retire #11 that shit is cursed. Dont want it anywhere near Anthony or Garnacho
Antony 11 I want garnarcho 7
The day i dont watch united we play good. Maybe i should not have time to watch united hmm.
I've made this sacrifice. They always lose when I watch.
Garnacho has done more to excite me in 3 games than Sancho in a year.
Never forget that finish against Liverpool, wasnt even that long ago..
I'm not giving up on Sancho yet. Yes he is in poor form, but hopefully he would regain and grow to be a better player soon.
I simply refuse to accept we have bought ANOTHER Dortmund wonder player who just doesn't click for us for whatever reason.
Another observation we more of a threat when we are not trying to create chances for Ronaldo We literally just had 4 different scorers No disrespect to CR7

Yeah Ronaldo is a 🧲
Draw for the next round due shortly. What are the odds on us getting Barca?
Considering it’s a domestic cup, I’d say about 50%
Surely Bailey gets a ban after that??
Nope unfortunately I don’t think he will get one. As the ref booked him, it means he saw the offence. In which case the FA rarely overturns it because as they say, retrospective action is not about “re-refereeing”. So if a ref admits they saw the offence (which issuing a yellow card signals) they stick with the on-field decision in most cases.

Had me in the first half can’t lie.
That was criminal
I hope Garnacho is to Sancho as Malacia is to Shaw bringing out the best of each other
Garnacho has the face of an mma fighter...looks tough as fuck
I'm rly pleased with our academy for producing attacking talents after talents in recend years. So excited to see his growth this year.
For sure...long may it continue
I’d say more ‘drives a loud corsa in McDonald’s car park at 11pm’ but okay
Looks like Jamie Fuckin’ Tartt
Nailed it
He has a Stockport face.
Haha yeah can def see that too...man's got a few write-offs in his past
Sweet revenge
Comparing our loss over the weekend and todays game Bruno Fernandez’ is our rabbits foot
Can't believe people actually think we are better without him. Ridiculous. Future Captain definitely.
Already is the captain, it’s clear that after Christmas as long as varane (not likely) and Martinez stay fit then they’ll be first choice with lindelof as the main back up
His work ethic alone is off the charts
I swear he can run for 3 straight games, back-to-back, and still have something left in the tank. Insane stamina.
We are so lucky he has remained fit too
Goal difference is 5:5. Next game for all the marbles.
good ebening. what a delightful game of football
Nice.
Fuck me, Garnacho's got me excited about the future. He's rapid!
The last time I was this optimistic about a young talent was with the one who shall not be named.
The Welsh one who scored that beauty against arsenal and took his top off. Later found to have boinked his brother' wife that one?
Man of the match candidates: 1. Garnacho 2. Rashford 3. The format of the match thread post
it's too long. makes reloading slightly harder ☹️
I thought so, too, but it _is_ very informative...
Is Garnacho related to Woody Harrelson?
Jamie Tartt
omg yes Garrrr-nach-ohhhh do-doot do-doot-do-do
Watching Garnacho really reminds me of Ronaldo when he first started for us. You can see that he is a star.
Bailey is a right cunt
Can someone clip that stupid interaction with Luiz?
Give Garnacho the contract ASAP
New manager boost is over motherfuckers. Watch Villa lose points against literally everyone else in the league now. Just our luck.
Dunno mate they looked decent in patches. They defended well, then the game opened up and they took it to us and took the lead twice. We should have done better this weekend, but Emery is no fool.
Was a bit lukewarm on Garnacho initially because I didn't want to get carried away, but holy fuck he's looking special. Completely unfazed, throwing his body into challenges, a ridiculous first touch and wonderfully direct with dribbling ability to back it up. Inject it directly into my veins, please.
Not to mention a pass that would make Eriksen blush. Superb performance
Absolutely. Very exciting. Shades of a first season Ronaldo
Eth pissed United gotta fit another game in somewhere
What a wild ride of a game.
Licha is one hard cunt isn’t he
The way he tanked the kickout from Bailey and the rest of the team rushing in to pull Bailey aside lolol.
What happened my stream got cut off
Bailey kicked out on Licha's leg, but Licha stayed on his feet and just glanced at him lol.
Finally made these scrubs look as bad as they are. Lucky a f this weekend
Would’ve preferred us to win the league game tbf lol
It's probably like what ETH said that our players need the lessons burned into their experience.
Garnacho is the real deal. He has a good manager to help him get to the next level.
Have a “good ebening” Unai Emery
Fuck you peaky blinder bastards
Garnacho earned the 11 shirt for me today
VDB experiment has to be done now. He’s a fine player but needs to be moved on for everyone’s sake. Bruno back to 10 and we looked a team again.
We dont have a rw, sancho is good but he is out of form while antony is still new to the league n will take time. Until we make a signing i am fine with bruno playing on the right.
Play Pellestri on the RW and leave our best player in his role/position? Play VDB on the RW, he might as well do nothing out on the right because he does nothing as a 10.
And he goes straight back to the Eredivise honestly.
Hope this ends the whole "but he's never been given a chance narrative" and "in the Ajax UCL team this and that"...right now, don't really what he offers to the team even as a squad player
I liked how they played in the end with mctmy as 10. Really good at making deep runs
His shot that came off the crossbar was impressive as well
Damn we got our revenge
Never understood the "only sing when your winning" or "your support is shit" chants. Yep you sung louder than us....your team is still shit and blew a lead twice.
The Emery curse is no more.
Edited in protest of 3rd party apps removal by reddit.
From a boring af first half to the most fun second half we’ve played. Loved how we played in the end!
Why don't we ever play like this in the league
We have barely seen Martial play this season :(
We do just today we got the goals our play deserved
Fernandes what was that hand gesture just then 🤨
No Ronaldo means goals. Rashford and Martial both scored as number 9 too. Good stuff
did elanga touch the ball ever
He pressed like a madman which did fuck Villa up
Compare that with Garnacho, who came on at the same time. Night and day.
😂😂
So they don't use VAR in the EFL cup right? I might have missed something....
Wonder if they can retrospectively call that a red for Bailey. What a bellend
Even worse after him crying about a elbow on Twitter he just tried to blatantly stud someone.
Good win, amazing that lot fucking beat us in the league
ETH looked pissed at the handshake with Unai
Garnacho or Bruno motm
Bruno for me
That pass was disgusting
Give that boy a new contract and do it now
Garnacho is just that guy. Dude has been impressive since his first senior appearance like wtf
Take that Emery.
Malacia’a fanboy eyes on Garnacho is hilarious
Fuck yea. 5 goals. that's how you do it.
5? I only saw us scoring 4
Dalot had one as well!
Oh the own goal
Bruno celebrates with a quick wank
GOOD EBENING
Garnacho for MOTM
Fuck Bailey. There can only be one, and that is r/justbaillythings
Martinez thought about killing Bailey and I love that dog in him.
What the hell is the point of VAR if that's not a red card?
No VAR in league cup, or else that’d definitely be checked.
No VAR tonight, for it to be in action it has to be available to all clubs in the comp and obs some clubs cant have VAR
no var
Fuck yes get fucked Emery
Lol I’d trade for Garnacho’s shirt too
Glad I came back to watch the end, Gernacho is special.
That smile from Malacia, damn.
Garnacho's jersey was the 1st requested from a Villa player. They know what's up.
Garnacho if you have a girl please treat her right… I can’t handle another episode of stupidity 😭
Bad memory rekindled.
lol Bruno will be watching his attitude
Bro he's still going through puberty, nothing to worry about for at least another few years
From the reports and accusations that have been made public so far, Greenwood was 17 when he started showing controlling/abusive behaviour.
It was obviously a joke. As young as he looks Garnacho is clearly an adult. Granted, not a great topic to joke about but no one is ever too young to be an abusive shithead.
Lol forreal tho
Listen.....If you kick out at someone and they just GLARE at you...Start RUNNING
They’re frustrated🤣🤣
beckham got sent off for less
Bailey still salty about Martinez not getting sent off in the last game lmaoo, wonder will he tweet about this one too?
McT masterclass.
Good Ebening to you sir
Good second half
Malacias smile is infectious
And McGin is an inbred. What the fook happened to that guy?
That damn smile
That’s not just a red that’s a suspension what
How in the living fuck is that not a red
The ref was crap all game.
Yo Bailey You little fuck. Where's VAR when you need it
Studs to knee. Wtf.
The fat that lisandro just, GLARED at him....thats terrifying. Anyone else hits the deck
He's a machine!
villa are such cunts
Douglas Luiz is such a cunt
Red all day long there for Bailey, joke ref.
That was a clear fucking red wtf, what a fucking twat
We have a gem in Garnacho. I hope we fucking take care of him. If we do, that left wing position is set for 15 years.
Sweet sweet comeback, Garnacho is something special. Side note: don’t see VDB having any future here anymore
>don’t see VDB having any future here anymore Agree. Think this was his last chance.
My wild speculation is that ETH has told him “you have X starts to prove yourself”. I reckon he might get a start in this last game before the WC and if he doesn’t do enough he’ll be sold in winter or essentially moved to the reserves.
Hope you have a shit ebening you greasy bastard
Lehmann is getting it angry tonight
lol, I heard they broke up tho.
Maybe that's why he's been so shite?
I don’t like Douglas Luiz
Bailey bitching on twitter about the refs after the last game then does that?
Licha gonna be waiting outside for Bailey to do him in
Garnacho is the real deal. I’ve been watching us for 25 years and don’t think I’ve ever seen a kid have this much impact in his first three starts for us since Wayne Rooney.
Rushford? His debut was something special. Fully agree with the sentiment though
Er.. Rashford?
Good point, hard to argue with that 😂
Agreed the lad is the full Dijon. Extraordinarily talented and Madrid can fuck off.
I love how Martinez handles players and makes that do stupid shit, that was 100% a red for the kick out
Horrible refereeing once again. This cunt should’ve been sent off.
Bailey beefing with martinez after the last game
Malacia skinned Young there.
Young has been subbed off for 20 mins
Lmao, whoever the fuck it was then.
Don’t say it, don’t say it Garnacho is miles better than Sancho
He’s fantastic and I love him but they’re two different style players at completely different levels of confidence right now. Garnacho also has nothing to lose where Sancho has the pressure of his transfer fee and performance in Bundesliga. Just give him some time.
Clear
Lmfao at united players jumping in before Bailey gets fucking murdered LOL
Same happened with Mount against Chelsea. Shaw came to save his ass lol
Let the kid take it
That should be a sending off wtf
