Aston Villa vs Newcastle United Match Thread

Cissokho been good again.

This game needs Grealish also.

[Tuscans]

We are very decent at crossing the ball. We need Kozak and ultimately Benteke back as soon as possible. We have next to no threat in the middle.

agree

[Ozzjim]

Whisper it quietly but even if we lost this today, there are some signs we could be a decent side this season. If Lambert does add 2 more as he said he wants, and Benteke, Kozak and Sanchez come back in, we should not be struggling too much.

[Tuscans]

I would say Keane has already had an influence on this team. Looks like we're trying to keep it down through midfield, quickly get it forward and wide and get on a cross....similar to how United played back in the day.

I hope we don't start lumping it when the big boys come back.

[Toronto Villa]

The way we want to play doesn't suit the players that play up front. And we don't have the talent to play it through the middle, but to do so probably suits the players we have playing right now.

[Smirker]

Chance for Newcastle there.

Early days but I feel more confident than I did last year. I will be shocked if we're bottom 5 or 6 all year

agree Ozzjim, we don't look like an amazing team or anything, but theres a bit of a pattern of play, and a bit of composure at the back. A couple of our players look better than that. Great move just now.

[Toronto Villa]

Much better from us. Better cross needed from Hutton

[Smirker]

Not doing too badly now, we look very dangerous.

[Toronto Villa]

We are crying out for a proper forward. It has to be killing Lambert and Keane

Beautiful ball across the goal from Weimann

[Toronto Villa]

In fact even Bent could take advantage of this

Yea Darren would attack the space Gabby isn't
