I'll probably get stick for saying it but Amavi is just not up to the job

Your quite right in my opinion. Shouldnt be near the team at the moment.

That first half was just dreadful but second half gives me renewed hope. Should have won it by the end, but playing 5 at the back just doesn't work for us. I liked the look of the midfield once that buffoon Westwood went off, and if we could only keep Tshibola fit we may finally get the midfield we've been calling for since Petrov retired.

Lucky. Dreadful performance. Newcastle should have been out of sight.
Ah well.

I thought we were much the better side in the second half, and the Newcastle fans I overheard acknowledged this. Yes there were poor performances (Jedinak) but some moments of skill from Villa in the 2nd half were fantastic, and we would have been worth a 2-1 win at the end.

First definitely, but based on the second half? Not a chance. We deserved a point and could have won it in the end.

That was the first game in a very long time that I have enjoyed the added time.  Another minute and we would have won that game.  The jardies did not know whether their arseholes were punched, bored or countersunk.  As our vicar used to say.

If we can play like we did for the last half hour on a consistent basis teams are not going to be able to live with it. The manager got it wrong in the first half but I will give the benefit of the doubt given players being unavailable and the fact that he fixed it at half time. Newcastle were clinging on at the end and we were well worth the point.

It was the exact opposite of the Huddersfield, Forest and Bristol City games were by we should have been out of site well before the opposition had there spell, hopefully that will give us the confidence to push on now.

I thought Westwood was beyond appalling yesterday, but surely now with Tshibola fit again and looking the real deal we'll actually witness a game where Westwood isn't on the team sheet? He's been the main weak link in the Villa team for years now and only now have we finally got an alternative to him. Roll on Tuesday.

We played well for twenty minutes, in my opinion. A good point.

I'm no Westwood fan, but he wasn't as bad as Jedinek yesterday.

I do find it remarkable that in a game where there were 3-4 players who comfortably had worse games than him that Westwood still gets singled out by some people. He's not great, but he's also nowhere near as bad as he's made out to be.

Westwood has been our best midfielder the last few games, hence why weve been off the pace. We need more.

I agree. He does a job of making himself available, moving the ball on to the more creative players and rarely losing possession. We don't have anyone else who can do that so until we get somebody who can do that job but with a bit more dynamism I think he is going to be in the side.

Genuine question: who was worse, Jedinak or Westwood?

Edit: I see I've been pre-empted. I agree it's extraordinary.

But then a lot of people have been calling for ayew to be dropped.

One day I would love to see a video of westwood in training. It must be genuinely world class.
Exactly this! Was thinking this at yesterday's match. In training he must play like a mix between Sid Cowans, Dennis Mortimer and Ian Taylor.
With just a light sprinkling of Platini, Zidane and Iniesta for a bit of exotic flair.
I doubt it though, because he's shite.
