Newcastle United v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Mossie Hennebry]

They're going through a bit of a purple patch at the moment, but we're going to put a stop to that and go on a run of wins over the Christmas. Ho ho ho.

1-3 Villa with 20% possession and 2 shots at goal. Gabby, Gil and Dummet og.

I don't think 'shit hat' Gabby is going to get anywhere near the first team anytime soon or again maybe.

--------------Guzan
Richards, Okore, Clark, Lescott
----------Gueye, Sanchez---------
----Traore, Veretout, Jack-Who
-------------Ayew------------

would prefer to have Ayew on left but when the alternatives are Just-Head and Flabby - Im afraid not.

if we are to go down we may aswell go down fighting, dropping Sinclair may be a bit harsh but Traore and Jack-Who could and should offer more going forward

[Steve R]

It's only November what can they take the piss about? If they want to wave that's fine. We just wave back.

And if we are going to make a fist of it all, this is as good a place to start. Ugly 1-0, a bit like the ugly 1-1 we secured last time on the road.

So your left sided player to cover for Lescott is Jack, I doubt if any one can come up with a team that looks balanced based on the squad we have, which just needed new ideas apparently.

[OzVilla]

I would'nt listen to a word that dumb, fat fuck Micky Quinn has to say.  Twat of Savage-esque proportions.

If we're gonna turn this around I think it really needs to start Saturday. A battling 2-2.

You might have less time for your Christmas shopping than you think...

We can get a draw out of this, but only a win will do. Gil has to start.

One day we must win ..... so come on what ever the team is Saturday give us that win and some hope to take us into Christmas

Newcastle are no world beaters so even for us surely its possible

[fbriai]

I've just got a feeling we are going to do this mob. We have to win sooner or later...right?

1-2 to us. Traore to score all 3.

[Lobsterboy]

Sounds like Richards is going to be missing again so presume we will line up Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Lescott, Bacuna, Sanchez, Gueye, Veretout, Gil, Sinclair, Ayew

Would much rather Traore than Sinclair but think Garde going to continue to use him as a sub; I don't want Gestede anywhere near the first XI

[RussellC]

Changes need to be made, as the current set-up is just not working. I can’t see the 11 that he picked against Arsenal beating anybody in this league, quite frankly. For all of their faults, Agbonlahor and Westwood need to be re-instated and he needs to move Bacuna as far away from the left-back position as he possibly can. If Richards is out, I’d go with the following;

Guzan; Hutton, Okore, Clark, Lescott; Sanchez, Westwood; Grealish, Veretout, Ayew; Agbonlahor

Subs: Bun,; Ilori, Bacuna, Gueye, Traore, Gil, Gestede

[AVH87]

Fair play to the 2,000 strong travelling army heading to this one. I think it will be a dire 0-0, not what we need.

[KevinGage]

Usually in a scenario like this I'd say the one thing in our favour is this Newcastle side isn't good enough to win three on the bounce.

But we are about as intimidating as a Julian Clary Select XI or the cast of Rainbow at present.

0-3.

[SashasGrandad]

0-5, Sinclair (3), Ayew (2).

And so it begins.

Your medication?

The nurse will be along soon to give it to you.  Suggest you try to grope her arse; as you can probably get away with it given your current state of mind.
