Aston Villa v Newcastle United Post-Match Thread

[Ron Manager]

Early days yet. I think Lambert is hoping Joe Cole will come off and Benteke/Kozak will be fit shortly and start scoring goals straight away

It appears Cissoko can cross a ball with pace so it could work.

But its a big gamble if he doesn't get further reinforcements in.

Rare trip to Brum and went to VP. Some observations.
Why do we bring every player back for corners?
Why do we retreat to the edge of our own penalty box and not try to press the ball higher up the pitch?
Why do we allow the opposition to always be able to play it out from the goalkeeper?
Gabby and Weiman were just awful and their off the ball running was useless.
The defence looks solid, midfield did ok, the final ball was terrible.
I think with every one fit we should be safely mid table.

This drives me mad, leave two up and at least three stay back to mark.
