Newcastle United v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Mister E]

Shoulda scored again!!

[Irish villain]

Westwood looking good.

Anybody else getting nervous whenever Baker has the ball at feet?

[Nelly]

Come on Villa! The time is now!

[Mister E]

Certainly looking more up for it than of late

[CJ]

Sneaky girly slap from Remy.

[Matt Collins]

Why are we the only club after a lengthy period off, when we come back we look terrible.

You must be watching a different game to me

[Matt Collins]

We're winning!!! (Possession)

[Tom_Mc9?]

If only Lambert were more articulate we'd be winning by now.

[JUAN PABLO]

we have had our normal chances first 20 mins , expect two quick goals for magpies ;(

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Benteke's hold up play and lay offs leave a bit to be desired.

We're still hoofing it to him and the defender has beat him every time.

True, and unnecessarily. We have the man advantage in midfield against their rusty old 4-4-2. We just have so much space when we come forward.

Decent opening from us, deserve to be ahead on balance of play .

[JUAN PABLO]

westwood doing good

[CJ]

Good attempt Bacuna

[Mister E]

Interesting: (i) Westwood is playing much better than of late; (ii) when not in possession, we are hunting in twos to close down the oppo - that's good!
