Aston Villa v Newcastle United Match Thread

Good goal by Gabby, proves he should be in the middle and not out on the wing...

Does it?! - scored 2 other goals this season you know!
Let's hope the Villa management are not making decisions on the basis of one data-point.

Who said I was making a decision on 'one data point'? 

It was your use of the word "prove".

Well pardon me for using the wrong word.  My point still stands that in MY opinion Gabby is better played in the middle than out on the wing.

Well, that's fine: I respect your opinion and happen to agree with it.

Fuck me that took some getting to

My pleasure!! :-)

No its mine, would Sir like the 5 min argument or the full 10 mins?

So, where is Clark?

Saw this which is why I was wondering where he was.  Don't understand where the cover for defence injuries is if he went off on loan.

Arhh, the Mirror ...
So do we know where he is now? - not on the bench, again - is he injured?.

I have promised the missus that I will do some work around the house today, gotta paint like fuck at half time.

[paul_e]

n'zogbia has been caught on the ball lots already, needs to stop holding onto it so long.

Bannan has been great so far, petrov playing well also.

[Mister E]

Living dangerously ...

[Irish villain]

They are putting on the pressure.

[PaulWinch again]

We are under the cosh a bit here.

[Mister E]

... but some great passing!

[Mac]

He's a team player that N'Zogbia

[PaulWinch again]

Great until final ball by N'Zog there.

[Irish villain]

Bannan is some player. N'Zogbia....so frustrating there.

[Monty]

Thick from Zog there. Wasted everyone else's good work, especially the patient Collins and Bannan.

 Bigger roller mate. Worry about the splashes later.

Agreed. I'd give Zoggy 60 minutes and start looking at Albrighton if he doesn't show signs of improving.

Hutton still looks a concern, as does Delph.

[TonyD]

We need to get three in the midfield to stop these free runs they're getting, especially from our occasional laxity in possession. Get Bannan more involved in possession in the centre, we need to stop their breaking and control the game.

This is where you need Clark on the bench to come on for Delph and chop down the Newcastle midfield.

Would bring Marco on for the Zog at HT.
