218They obviously can't be bothered, so neither can I.
They obviously can't be bothered, so neither can I. It was a positive line-up, but Utd never
needed to get out of 1st gear. McLeish must be giving out his instructions in Russian or something
because he's managed to make some very capable players look like they haven't the first clue what
they're doing.
I've taken my sweet time with this one on purpose. I generally have a pretty good idea what the
headline numbers look like by the final whistle and I know the more technical statistics almost
immediately after the game has finished these days. If taken in isolation, these stats wouldn't
make encouraging reading, but that only serves to prove why we should take time look at these
things as a whole and recognise that nothing can be "proven" by pointing at any single metric.

Wow! What can you say about that? I'm still trying to catch my breath.
Honestly, when I saw the teamsheets confirm the early whisper that Ciaran Clark was out,
replaced by Jonathon Hogg, and Ireland too would be missing, Chris Herd and Shane Lowry taking
their places on the bench, I feared a mauling.

218One of the bigger talking points has been the return of Ashley Young.
One of the bigger talking points has been the return of Ashley Young. James Milner showed class
by not celebrating at Eastlands recently, expect Ashley Young to do exactly the same today, but
preferably because he hasn't scored.
Either way, it's a tough game ahead and I suspect there will be a bigger interest in the manner
we McLeish approaches the game than any real expectation in getting much from it.

Man Utd come to Villa Park on Saturday for the early kick off game. For all the talk of being a
point off of 5th place, we're a full eight points behind Utd and they're a point worse off than
they were after 12 games last season. At that same point, we were just four points behind with 21
to their 25 points.
