Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Monty]

Pretty amazing people are surprised that, without our best player, who is statistically one of, if not the, best players in Europe this season, who has created more goals than anyone across the five major leagues, we create a lot less and are not as good.

Some are bizarrely scandalised, it's true. Nonetheless, after the money spent, it's a little alarming to see how close to relegation we might have been without him.

[Mister E]

It's okay: it's our crap half 😁😁

[Bobby Boy]

Watkins has been really poor so far. Isn't holding anything up.

[taylorsworkrate]

We really are a one man team aren’t we.

Not at Leeds apparently.

How have the 2 and a half games gone since then?

[Legion]

Watkins has been really poor so far. Isn't holding anything up.

Isn't getting much decent service or support, either.

Just joined no idea what Sanson cannot get into this midfield.

If you just joined how do you know?

So my only source of seeing or hearing what’s going on is this site?  How does that work?

[baddowvillans]

Are we playing Juventus tonight instead?  This is awful!

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Beat me to it!

Agreed. His attempts to trap the ball are going further than I can kick it.

having a dreadful game

[PaulTheVillan]

Willock looks half decent for them. Got legs and energy.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Sanson for Ramsey now or we lose

[The Edge]

Newcastles ball into the box is way better ours. We've wasted way too many chances to put in a quality ball.

[Bad English]

Possession 60 40 to the Barcodes

[eamonn]

Ollie can't make it stick. Sounds sacrilegious but is this a game for Keinan instead?
