He truly is fucking magic from the spot. Ice in his veins

Absolutely, for all his limitations he's one of the best penalty takers I've ever seen, he never looks like missing them.

That should be enough for Newcastle, another would be sweet.

Buendia doesn’t look fit enough to me

6 scored out of the last 6 he's taken

I agree, looking really leggy now, I'd bring JPB on soon, Chuk for AEG as well.

Get luiz off for nakamba

Brilliant atmosphere

[Toronto Villa]

We need one of those famous Emi Martinez clean sheets now

[Monty]

We send it long far far too easily.

[SamTheMouse]

Fuck, I wish I were there. It sounds brilliant.

[jwarry]

We are dropping too deep and asking for trouble

[SaddVillan]

Shithousery from the Toon keeper.

All to no avail.

Anwar El Goalzi - thank you!!!

Mings is massive.

Thats smiths tactics for you. Its a growing trend with us. Nit the players they are being instructed to play like this

[Toronto Villa]

I honestly don’t know why. It’s more a Mings play than anyone else but you’d think Dean Smith given his reputation pre Villa would want to play it on the deck the vast majority of the time

Well we are used to having the hardest working forward in the league to chase it down. Aside from that I think we're mixing it up pretty well today, as I said earlier they're playing with what is effectively a back 6, if we try to pass through we're struggling for space so threatening them with balls in behind at least pushes them back slightly. I just wish we had someone with a bit more pace to really 'sell' it, that's why I'd bring JPB on.
