If either of our wingers puts in more than one pass to hojlund id be surprised .

Madness when you read that pack that in the whole season Antony has passed it to hojlund 6 times and Garnacho 5

Lose this and I can’t see where ETH goes next. Probably back to the Netherlands. Can’t see the new regime repeating him to deliver whatever their “project” is.

Can’t see a win in this. Maybe a no score draw if we pack midfield.

Need to score in the first ten minutes.

Or it will be seven hours of football without a goal.

0-0.

Can see a 25% bounce in performance.

0-3.

Brexit Jim waving and smiling before KO then slithering out as the 3rd goes in to avoid listening to the muffled disquiet of the Jim Glazer simps.

2-1 Theresa and Bruno

Start diallo on the right , we win 3-0

I’m hoping that Villa might be coming to the end of their tether.

They have Kamara suspended who is very important to them, and Matty Cash. Pau is also a doubt, he would be a big miss.

Friday’s result would have shattered them. That was their big chance to go top and an easy one at that, yet they blew it.

We might just squeeze out a result here.

1-0 to us.

Villa not got a great record at OT. Gonna be lnackered. It’s also the time for weird results and too much going on in the background for them to just lay down and die so I think we win it 2-1

Apparently, they play with a very high line. That should
Make for opportunities for Hojlund/Rashford.

Law of averages must be in our favour after so many defeats, every dog has its day etc, 2-0 win against the odds Big Jim bounce

I think we’ll win. No idea why.

Feels like one of those games where Ole had to win to stay in the job. He usually did. Let's see what ETH has got.

welcome to game 23 in our series of 10h must win or he's out

*breaking news*

Have become very rough so will not, I repeat not be attending tonight. Daughter and son going instead. That means the curse will be lifted.

1-0 united.

Not tonight though.

I've got some Michael Knighton vibes going on...Anthony channelling his inner Webb with a volleyed screamer from the edge of the box.

Just popped out to the bins and it’s gone a bit King Billy so it’s my big coat tonight instead of waterproof anorak

Gloves and bobble hat might come into play

Can’t help thinking I’d be better off staying home and watching this on telly

Pretty sure he isn't going tonight.

Big "Dave" Brailsford is expected though.
