Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

And I got a prediction right for once. I had it as 1-1 with us taking the lead. Nostradamus is back!

Nostradamus was a good player. The trouble is that he was a bit predictable

Can anyone shed any light on KEA injury? Walked off the pitch I heard but went down without being tackled?

Looked like a twisted ankle

Yep.

Really happy with how we have played today, excellent one/two touch passing, movement around the pitch, creating lots more chances, good pressing. Can see how PL wants to get us playing, and if we can play like this wins will start coming our way. Guzan made some great saves, especially from free kick late on.

Definitely feeling a lot more confident in the team than I have for a good few years, yes it will take time, but I have faith in PL and what he wants to achieve at VP.

Yep.

He'll fine after the international break I imagine. He's been a very tidy signing.

Holman Man of the Match for grumpyness, top work

Great Performance from the lads. The season starts here.

One for the future I think.

In addition, wasn't it great to be able to enjoy watching our style of play? The feel-good factor is back for me.

[Steve R]

Holman's non-challenge for the goal looked a bit like Vlaar's against Everton. Very much a 'I don't mind you shooting from there' feel about it.

Lack of premier league experience perhaps.

Given and NZogbia being dropped made a big difference today. Sums up where we are with our senior players.

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

We could have won, in the past we would have lost, but we got a draw.

I'm pleased with a point, and the performance. If we can start creating chances for Bent we'll fly up the league.

[VinnieChase84]

Good performance from us and deserved the 3 points in my opinion.
Our ability also confused the Geordies who I think thought they would stroll past us.
A Geordie mate text me saying "I thought u were meant to be shit!?"

Guzan very impressive.  CNZ, shite again.  Sorry, but he looks utterly lost to me.

Harsh IMO.  He didn't exactly have long and I thought he looked reasonably bright when he came on, as did Gabby.

[N'ZMAV]

I'm not sure what our formation was in midfield

Agree it's harsh and I don't want to slate him for the sake of it, he just doesn't seem to know what to do when he gets the ball.  Gabby on the other hand made two half chances out of nothing.
