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

[wince]

We deserve to be where we are. Sorry but Bruce out. Was supporter but when lambert era looks better than this......make the fucking change as it isn't working potato head

[VillaBoy_23]

Bjarnason is one of the worst players I've seen in a long long time

[manic-road]

For fuck sake Bjarnosan we are in Claret and Blue you knob jockey, that's who you should be passing to.

[andyh]

It could already be 5 if not for the keeper.

Eh? Wasn't that the first thing he's managed to do competently all evening?

Everything else has been punching things he should catch and not coming for things he should punch.

Oh, I think he a complete liability, but he has saved a couple at the near post and that cross shot.
Maybe, I'm being too kind to him but I expect so little now, even the simple stuff feels like a blessing.

[CJ]

Let's pretend we've scored a goal

[Matt Collins]

The chances of them not scoring one or two more are remote

I'm not sure how Brentford tended to play but I really can't see this 433 with hogan as the 9 working at all

To add to the list of expensive strikers we've bought since benteke, none of whom is actually a proper 9 (maybe kodjia apart)

[Dave]

I feel sorry for Hogan. What's he supposed to do with random punts from the middle of our half?

Bjarnason is one of the worst players I've seen in a long long time

Yup, his four or five performances so far have been right up there with the worst I've seen. He looks like a disinterested parks player.

[andyh]

We actually LOOK like a relegation threatened team.

[Risso]

Garbage.
I really don't get Lansbury. What does he do? What does he offer? Can't tackle. Not great with the ball. Doesn't look like a goal threat. Offers nothing definsively. He's just a pony tail and a beard with some tatts.
Lansbury looks like that c**t on a Thai party Island who sits outside the surf shack he's decided to work in for the summer, strumming on an out of tune acoustic guitar with a variety of anti-establishment stickers on it. He's that sort of irksome knobhead that's a magnet for absolutely trollied British slags on a piss up. That guy who needs to fuck off home, grow up and find a real job. As it is he's somehow managed to fall into professional football in this case and is stinking up our midfield.

Alan Hutton has been our best player today. Which says it all.

Pissed myself laughing reading that

Same here, excellent stuff, and very true!  I'm always very suspicious of people, and especially of football players, who put that much effort into cultivating facial hair.  Jedinak being another culprit.

him or westwood??

[Villafirst]

How is Bjarnason still on the pitch? Woeful pass straight to the opposition a couple of minutes ago. Get Jack on for him...

[Risso]

I think he's firmly in the "I've paid money for him, so I have to play him" category.

I think he's interested - he works hard

He just looks awful. He's making me long for leonhardsen

[brian green]

Who scouted Bjarnason?  How do we manage to find such bad players?
