I hate to say I told you so... but Hourihane is worth his place just for what he offers from set pieces, Grealish is a different class. no more blubbing barcodes now please!
Tom Heaton is an equal best signing along with McGinn. Hourihane's inclusion is perfect for set peices, and guess what, 2 goals from set peices.
Come on the Villa! 3rd goal early on would be appreciated

Lets hope dave is s bit more optimistic now. Should have been 4-0.
Fair play to bruce for giving us Mcginn even though I've just sold him.
love seeing Jack in that pushed up position and links up nicely with Conor. Cant help feeling it has a negative impact on Super John though. He was less threatening tonight. Great win though. UTV
mcginn's heads gone
Missed game tonight as im in Italy but reading the comments, sounds like a well deserved 3pts. Connor back, now ive been saying all along we are a better team with him in there and only one winger. 6pts the target to year end.
Were on our wayyyyy
Fingers crossed Poch isn't appointed man utd boss this week! Old Trafford never gives us a thing, but with Ole in charge, who knows!
Win lose or draw, i do not think old trafford and this manure team are anything to fear. In a strange way, our big guns have all the reasons to play out of theirs skins..
Mings...possible CH partner for McGuire?
Plus he has to keep up his performances to impress Southgate.
McGinn...if there is any truth in the rumour, he will want to impress and show utd what they cannot have (yet)
Jack...played really well last night and needs a big game big performance to convince southgate he is worth a punt in the England midfield.
Smith...deserves a big win against the odds to convinse the doubters.
Others to watch
Targett.. England
Gilbert....France
Heaton....England
Wesley...got to hit the barn door soon
Luiz Brazil
Hourihane Ireland
This is the place to get noticed and time to step up!! The shop window does not get any bigger. Utd looked very leggy v Sheff utd. Our team under smith know one thing, never give up.
Your right we shouldn't fear United. The game could go either way and a win is just a bonus really. Winning games against the likes of Norwich and Newcastle takes the pressure off games like United. From game week 18 we have some really good fixures. In my opinion we look like a top half side with Grealish and a bottom half team without Grealish. Thats my only concern.
Never bought into the "fearing" thing when it comes to the opposition - it's not like Chopper Harris is going to break your legs FFS. Fear is something completely different.
Wes needs to improve an awful lot for me, he's working hard but gets outmuscled far too easily for a big guy and is often looking for the decision when he comes off worse instead of getting on with it and trying to win the ball back. The ref ain't gonna change his mind, makes it too easy for defenders to clear crosses too. Our play is great to watch but quite predictable too and that's why teams crowd us on the edge of the box, thankfully we have the quality to play a killer pass through the line.
Defensively - prone to lapses and that's why we're not getting points against the top teams, Jack is different class in the final third but hangs on to it too much when defending. Centre halves have to be switched on the whole game when playing out from the back - all these things are easily put right which is good news. So come on big Wes - show the world why we paid the wonga!
