Aston Villa v Newcastle United Post-Match Thread

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Walker's confidence is shot, Collins (after a shakey start), Dunne, Friedel, Downing and Petrov did well. Gabby gave us a lot of direct effort and Ashely Young was OK. Makoun could be excellent for us but he's looking more like Berson with every game. Hopefully a full pre-season will see him OK :-)

The real worry is, our best players are the ones GH is trying to fuck off
Waste of a season and GH was a shocking appointment

Not only pointlessly pessimistic to the point of pissing on everyone's parade, but also remarkably irrelevant. Well done.

When you say "the penalty" do you mean Bent being barged over? I thought there was a bigger shout for a red card when Taylor elbowed him on the half way line.

we have played better and not won .    Typical Villa performance today . The summer needs to come quick and to get this club sorted out.

Agreed. Obviously this season has been a near disaster (fingers crossed), but I'm still convinced that GH's vision is more likely to provide more sustainable and long-term success for the club than MON's.

I'd second that emotion .

We controlled that game from the start up until the 85th minute when the innevitable panic set in, over all we totally deserved the win though, should've been 2 or 3, Newcastle were awful and the ref was bollocks, Gabby and Petrov had good games and its nice to keep a clean sheet again.

Gabby was my mom, have to say I'm disappointed so far with Makoun, hoping with pre-season behind him, he'll be the dogs, but delighted with result, think we'd all take result today above performance.

Putting on Pires was bizzare, nearly cost us 2 points.
Its a huge result and we will be safe but what a fuck up of a season.

Gabby was my mom

Had to do a real double-take at that.

I gave him an extra point , just for that sublime pass to Bent for the offside goal. Id like to see him with another 2 midfielders .

What do others make of Makoun?

The Black Berson, great one touch passing and gives the ball away to often. Judge him next season I guess.

Interested to know who you'd give it to???

[E I Adio]

Some good performances from Brad, Stewie and Collins and very impressed by Petrov. I thought he had one of his best games for us.

Should help with the confidence.

Haha, not at that, more at the "Gabby was my mum" way of looking at it. Gabby run his heart out today and did well, though my MOTM would have probably been Petrov.
