We asked you for your thoughts on Saturday's Premier League match between Sheffield United and Aston Villa.

Here are some of your comments:

Blades fans

Mark: First time I have left at half-time. Absolute garbage.

William: Wilder made serious mistakes with the team selection. 1) Playing Holgate in place of Robinson in a defence that never played together 2) Playing Brooks in place of Hamer just showed up the youngster’s inexperience against experienced, top-level players. He looked lost at times. Let the fans down. Poor leadership.

Tom: I have seen plenty of poor Blades teams, and countless relegations, but I can’t recall seeing a side so far out of their depth. We had no idea what to do - simply standing around while Villa stroked the ball around. It was only Villa taking their foot off the gas that stopped this being another Newcastle.

Villa fans

Paul: After a couple of shaky results, this was a statement victory. Villa dominated the midfield - Luiz and Kamara very good, with Tielemans creating chances. Sheffield United could not handle Watkins' pace or Bailey’s movement. They were far too open at home. Wilder completely out-thought by Emery's tactics and set-up.

Ronny: Some of us Villa faithful were beginning to doubt our top -four credentials, but this performance was just what we needed to confirm we are here to stay. We demolished the opposition from the off, like our counterparts would have, and every player performed to their maximum ability. Even Unai was getting excited!

Jackson: The first half-hour was brilliant and then we understandably dropped the pace. The game was won but it felt like a missed opportunity for a record win as United were that bad. The thinking perhaps should have been to maximise the goal difference rather than job done.
