Newcastle vs Aston Villa (please, please win) Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

I know we will probably still find a way to lose tonight but Newcastle look absolutely dire. On this showing they're coming straight back down.

[PeterWithe]

Diame and Shelvey look almost identical facially. Almost.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

Mis-timed tackle my rear-end. Deserved that booking did Lascelles, Hogan was away there.

[PeterWithe]

We are missing the midfield link player that Jack should be.

[Toronto Villa]

We're stifling the game without creating anything of note. Hogan is completely isolated up front.

[Flamingo Lane]

I wonder if anyone's tested this Icelandic feller, to see if he's who he says he is.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

Pressing working there. 3 Villa midfielders around Colback then. This is good, Villa. Keep it going !

[wince]

All fart no shit tonight

[Toronto Villa]

We are missing the midfield link player that Jack should be.

That's why we bought Hourihane and Lansbury. Both can play that role and score goals yet neither is getting forward sufficiently.

We are missing the midfield link player that Jack should be.

Unfortunately he isn't that player

[Matt Collins]

Jedinak adding much needed steel

I wish he didn't have the habit of playing what should be simple ten yard balls in the air for no reason at all, just so they're bouncing right up into the face

[Risso]

Sigh.

[CJ]

Chaotic defending. Again

[Karlos96]

Well that was predictable.

[Jimbo]

Fucking pathetic defending.
