Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Brend'Watkins]

Much improved 2nd half but still only glimmers here and there of what we need. Sanchez and Bacuna do my fucking head in. 

[AlexAlexCropley]

Better in the end. But not enough. And I still don't think we've the tools to get out of this. We only really had one chance and Newcastle had four or five, despite being a bit shit

Not enough. I wish Ayew well though. He is too good for the Championship (along with Hutton). Hopefully we get a good price for them.

[CJ]

Well a point is a point, really needed all three but avoiding another confidence sapping defeat was important.We had our chances but have to say Newcastle missed 2 or 3 sitters so it could have been a very different story.

[Mister E]

... One point - worthless.

Errr, no it's worth one point, actually.

[jwarry]

Wretched performance and lucky to get a point.

What hand were you watching? It wasn't the one I just watched

[itbrvilla]

Poor from Garde. Needed to take game to Geordie's from the off.  The run continues, nearly half a season without a win.  Fuck you Villa and all involved.

[Chris Harte]

Got a point where we needed three.

If Garde gets us out of this mess and we're still in the PL next season he'll deserve to be revered in the same way Sir Graham is by those of us old enough to remember his fist time at the club.

A better second half but a massive,massive chance missed to win a game.
Lack of bravery by Garde when we had them under the cosh, Should have brought Adama on for Westwood.
Then, as is usual, we let the game peter out with a whimper.

That's how we'll leave the prem, with a whimper.

Ayew though is a gem.

[CT]

Better second after abysmal first.

Why at the end are we pissing about holding on to the ball in the corner instead of getting the ball in the box?

That last ten minutes was crying out for Traore. It's pointless even having him on the bench it would seem.

[villadelph]

Sigh..

Norwich downing United, Bournemouth on 19 points, Watford on 25, the mighty Aston Villa down in December.

[Sexual Ealing]

A good second half. Ayew fantastic. Sanchez is, and has been for some time, ridiculously, horribly awful.

Why only one sub?

We are fucked.

Keeping it in their corner in the last minute?

[Matt Collins]

7 points after 17 games. That's just worse than I ever thought possible. Fucking seven.

[Billy Walker]

That's a good point.  Ayew was excellent and Veretout seems to be getting up to speed.  I'm still hopeful that we can get out of this. 

[john e]

I've normally defended Sanchez on here,
but that was a perfect 90 minutes of incompetent rubbish

How Garde can watch that and do nothing is mind blowing
