Aston Villa v Newcastle United Match Thread

[eastie]

Similar to the first half last season against newcastle - appalling.

[citizenDJ]

Weimann off at half time for me, he's been awful.

He's been crap alright, but he's not alone. The midfield looks all wrong to me, and has none of the balance that we appeared to be getting when Sylla was playing. He's no world beater, but he did complement the team.

[ozzjim]

The midfield looks totally at sea.

[eastie]

Need sylla on - NOW!

No I know, but we're limited on changes now. I'd have Sylla on for KEA any day.

KEA's been better than Westwood. At least he's moving off the ball.

Ok. I know we all hate the pube-headed one. But can someone just explain how we look different from when we played at home in, say, 2009? As far as I can tell, we have Benteke instead of Heskey and that's basically it.

Not for me - kea must come off.

[django]

Westwood and Kea far to pedestrian today, with and without the ball. Bentekes barely touched the ball.

[Stu]

Arsenal was a flash in the pan by the looks of things.

[Lamb_Stockmix]

Have we had a shot?

[django]

Well still win by the way.

We don't. Just the wide players are not as good. Put Milner, Downing and Young in this side and it would be a lot better than that one.

[PaulWinch again]

Terrible from Weimann there.

[Summers]

What the fuck Andi? Sub him off for that.
