Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[saunders_heroes]

Apart from the defence (yet again) I thought we performed well, playing some really good attacking football. Someone earlier in the thread we played 'hoof football'. That's just absolute nonsense.

You obviously didn't watch the game. Our back four and especially Given must have given it a boot at least 25 times today. How many times did we efficiently pass out of the back and create a build-up, which ultimately led to an opportunity? I would say 4 or 5.. and that's being nice.

You're talking out of your arse, mate. We hoofed the ball no more than any other team does in the league. We played some really good attacking football today and we were only prevented from winning the game by poor finishing, good goalkeeping and our own shite defending.
Stop spouting the McLeish hoof football cliche.

Collymore was commentating at the game and said he saw 3 or 4 players back chatting AM. Not great if true. Thought we played some decent stuff and on chances alone deserved at least a draw. Bent was unlucky as Krul is one of the best keepers in the league.

The thing that annoyed me about the subs was that we kept a better shape with Nzogbia on the left,Heskey tends to drift in which makes things more conjested for Keane and doesnt allow him as much space. And when Heskey is on we tend to hoof it more(this isnt his fault),when we play it around more we create chances.

 I know Bent missed a couple today,but the runs he made on the shoulders of their defenders were great,this is his strength,his holding play was pretty poor though.

Oh please.

I'm going to watch the replay later today and count just for the fact of the matter. Of course, we had some bright spells but from the 5th minute to the 20th and the 45th minute to the 70th we were HOOFing the ball. No question.

I'm impressed by the honesty of posters who say they find football 'baffling', 'inexplicable' and 'don't get it'. We can tell that from your posts but it is admirable that you admit it.

I don't get quantum physics, which is why I tend to give related websites a miss.

Straight after half time we started to sit back deep so the only option we had was to hoof to clear, especially as the outlet balls were closed down fast. Whether the changes was down to losing Ireland, a change in tactics by our manager or one by theirs, I do not know. I just know they had 75% possession in that time frame and you don't get that if we are playing passing exciting football, but if we are turning over possession by hoofing it too much.

A lot of bollocks being spoken on this thread. Villa had a good game, Warnock and Hutton I thought played pretty well. I was really disappointed with the substitutions however. Both wide players came off...  and to be honest Heskey should never grace a Villa shirt again. I don't know why Ireland or N'Zog came off... but when they did our game suddenly turned to shite. Gardner looked good, and I thought the defence looked more composed than usual. A close 2-1 loss to an in form Toon is no disgrace, however our home form will let us down eventually. Unfortunately if we're going to be dropping points at home then we should be looking at winning games like this. Priority now should be to avoid dropping into a relegation scrap.

um, I think you need to watch the game again. 75-25 possession in my aforementioned timespan.. against Toon. That's nearly half the game.

Any more of that, and you can go and find somewhere else to play.

I think I've read every post already.. but it seems that the consensus from this thread is 1. We could have won, 2. Gary Gardner is playing pretty well and should be given a fair chance, 3. Hutton and Warnock weren't awful today but could still improve, 4. The Heskey substitution was controversial, 5. What happened to an in-form Stephen Ireland at halftime?

No, but telling people they're "talking out of their arse" is not the way we do things here.
