United have no control on the game but they are defending well, the problem is Villa’s attack is looking threatening and you feel sooner or later that they will find an end product. It’s not like Villa are out of ideas, just the end product hasn’t been there/United have defended well in those last ditch challenges.

Entertaining game to watch. The kind of game where Villa could win it, Man Utd will do what they do typically and nick it in stoppage time.

Sadly feels to me Villa are in free fall. A run of 'good' matches ahead. But after the almost too good to be true home run, now 3 consecutive home defeats vs top 10 challengers, it is all suggesting to Villa fading away.

Hope not. You guys been fun to watch and would be sad to see you fade away.

One thing I always abide to is, you learn more about your club and fanbase when times are tough. Easy when it's all gravy but when things don't go to plan, that's when you see what your fans are about.

West Ham fans leaving the stadium in their droves at HT, 4-0 down to Arsenal.

Embarassing fanbase. Pathetic.

Recently won a European trophy, still in Europe now, 8th in the league, and they are leaving because they were getting a hiding from a superior team competing to win the league.

Apparently they're massive, everywhere they go?

And yet they desert the team like rats leaving a ship. Not having that. Really excellent core they have there xD

Embarassing.

Fully agree….but 6-0 at home is unacceptable. Especially when they don’t have a midweek European game as an excuse for tiredness.

McTominay doesn't half remind me of how Fellaini used to be for them. Just annoyingly inevitable.

He's a much better player than Fellaini I think. Unless I'm rewriting history in my mind xD

I think comparing Mctominay to Fellaini is unfair to both, Fallaini scored 118 goals in 500 games while McTominay had 28 in 270 games.   In his prime Fallaini we a top level performer, at Everton with Cahill, Arteta, Osman, Lukaku that team was horrible to play with their directness.

I think Fellaini is the less shit out of the two. Both a properly wank though.

Fellaini was a much more effective player than McTominay. He was made the poster boy for the failed Moyes era at Man Utd for obvious reasons but his performances for them weren't actually that bad. At Everton, he was one of the best players in a team that was consistently challenging for top six finishes over the course of multiple seasons. 

Man Utd's current standing isn't even that much better than the Everton team that Fellaini was a part of. They finish 3rd-6th where Everton were finishing 5th-8th, and McTominay is an impact sub who can come on and score a header but not do an awful lot else. People stereotyped Fellaini as a bit of a yard dog because he was all elbows and most of his goals were headers but his technical ability was actually decent as well.

The similarity is that they're both limited players but both seem to have this knack of popping up at crucial moments, seem to have this tendency to score late winners.
