Aston Villa go fourth after draw against Manchester United



Saturday, 22 November 08, 07:14 PM

The result is fair, whichever way you look at it. United had the bulk of the possession but we battled and played well at times and we did everything right.

We started in a 4-5-1 formation with Reo-Coker playing at right back, again out of position and Luke Young playing left back, out of position also, but you could say differently, because he has played there in his career before. Still, we did okay, but I think we would have done better with Carlos.

We ended the game playing 4-4-2 as Carew came on for Sidwell with ten minutes to go and just so we're clear on the subject, Sidwell had a poor game. It's not that he made mistakes or did anything wrong, he just didn't seem to get into it.

Still, it's a result that we have must be happy with as we're sitting 4th in the Premier League, a point behind (thanks Bumhug360) Manchester United in 3rd place.

I for one am very happy. Media view, player ratings and blog opinin coming, as you'd expect, tomorrow morning. I'm off for a Coke (Originally a beer).
