Aston Villa 2-0 Newcastle post match thread

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

My Low Lockdown Day has inexplicably improved somewhat!

Konsa has the uncoachable skill of just knowing where he needs to be, it all looks so simple.

What was the score Calum?  Just think if you had made the right decision back in the summer you would have been home ages ago

[Lastfootstamper]

Luiz knows he wasn't at his best
"very happy for the victory !! +3
fans can rest assured that I know I lost more balls than I should 💪🏽 https://t.co/afmMkGfNZw"

And a truly shocking miss. But he's ace, so I forgive him. Just don't do it again.

I'll go against TV and say that I thought Bert was utter shit apart from his goal. Can hardly remember a pass he made, but can remember plenty of moves he broke down / fucked up.

You thought Bert was utter shit apart from his goal? Fucking hell you're a hard one to please. They just highlighted him on Sky Redknapp an Darren Bent saying just how fantastic he was tonight and how he could well turn out to be our best signing this season.

Hah, I am just a law student in France who didn't play the game beyond primary school, so my opinion is very far from informed, but I felt that every time he actively *did* something (goal aside, which I consider to be an OK finish, sidefoot onto a moving ball from 15 yards) he fucked it up. Set Jack free down the left with a long pass in the first half ? Blootered it straight down the middle of the pitch to their GK and the RMC commentators commented that Jack was clearly having a go at him for it. And I feel like there were plenty more examples.

I admit that I didn't really pay any attention to his work rate, so if that was up then that is good to see and will leave to better judges than me. But I think he's a player who'll have 1 good game / magic moment then dine out on it for 4-5-10 games where he goes MIA, so won't start getting excited until he does it regularly (and he certainly has the talent to).

If we have players that are happy to come off God we would be going backwards again ,we have been waiting a long time to have what all decent clubs have and that's a strong bench and slowly we're getting there, no one should be happy about coming off ,the competion for places is getting better and better, top six here we come

[cdbearsfan]

75 points could win the league this year. 85, you'd be favourites. It's on.

Dougie having some fun!

[Somniloquism]

Dean Smith confirms Jack Grealish "had a tight hamstring" and the boss took him off knowing he's on four yellow cards. He was pleased with the clean sheet tonight; says his players over-played in the second half. Refused to comment on Morgan Sanson's impending arrival.

So what was Jack sulking about?

Because he needed to do more to try to appease Footy-Vil.

Routine win. Don’t buy this annihilation bollocks as the games coming thick and fast. We knocked Newcastle out in first half and got all 3 points. Job done Despite playing in 2nd gear. More in the petrol tank when we play the northern kit stealers as would rather get 2-0 wins rather than be breathing out our arse in next games and getting draws. Bask in the wonder of where we are now compared to last season. But even if we were top of the table there would still be moaning from some of our fans. UTV

Out of curiosity, who was captain at the end? Forgot to check. Would guess Mings.

Yeah it was Mings.
