Newcastle v Villa Post Match Thread

[Dazvillain]

The attitude of the players at the end was appalling, giving away cheap free kicks when out of possession just played in to Newcastle's hands.

And the body language of a manager slumped into his seat doesn’t seem like great attitude either

I'd agree about Luiz.
He looks completely disinterested.
Him and McGinn wouldn't start at the weekend for me.

[Footy-Vill]

The way Gerrard was doing his coat up several minutes before the final whistle when really needed to be standing up and getting players going looked like he resigned to defeat. Uninspiring by him and i remain concerned.

I was very weary of him and remain so.
I don't see him doing anything other than talking a good game and I've been sceptical of his chat anyway all very controlled.
He doesn't really have much idea about how to be am attacking threat other than this get the full backs forward like my beloved Liverpool
Team seems to be losing discipline and he never lead from the touchline
The last 10 minutes(including the added time)in particular was nothing
Watford next is at least something to hope for better as against most teams that sort of performance and predictable play in the rigid system will only see us lose

Shocking how little goal threat we have. Shocking.

[Small Rodent]

Thought Chambers was very average at the back aswell, would've played him as DM today tbh as Doug seems to have mentally checked out of the club.

He's in love with a bisexual Villan. Understandable if his head is all over the place.

What the fuck has someone’s sexuality to do about anything?

Didn't expect anything different when I saw the starting lineup. Abysmal performance.

Why persist with attacking wingbacks when the one on the right gets a nosebleed every time he receives the ball in space in the attacking third. We've spunked a fortune building this squad, and we've just been beaten (easily) by a team that has a midfield containing Jonjo Shelvey and Joelinton. Let that sink in for a moment.

We're halfway through this run of four supposedly winnable games and a potential 12pt haul. Out of 6 points so far, we have ONE. Watford at VP up next and can't see things changing any time soon.

Players need to know that if they don't perform, they're out. Playing that same team today sent the wrong message, both to the players that shouldn't have been playing after Wednesday, and also the ones trying their hardest on the training ground to break into the side.

Sanson could potentially be our best midfielder and should be starting imo, yet he constantly brings on Chuck who has so far flattered to deceive in all but one appearance.

New application of VAR 2021/22 season:
Perhaps the most significant change, and one which will delight forwards, is thicker lines are now being used when measuring offsides, increasing from 1mm to around 5cm, similar to the lines shown on TV broadcasts.

This will give the benefit of the doubt to attacking players once more.

The change is intended to eliminate the most fractional offside calls where toenails, noses or armpits were offside.

That was just lies.

[Richard]

The PL moves at a blistering pace and has no time for sentiment.
Today was all on SG from the starting line up through to waiting way too long to make a change.
Then to slump back in his chair.
Get rid and start again.   

Behave. We know you don't like him.

[ChicagoLion]

Martinez 4 fucked lining the wall up
Cash 5 tried hard but useless in final 3rd
Mings 5
Chambers 3 stupid lunge so slow with the ball
Dungeon 5 is he an improvement on Target?
Luiz 1 gets 1 for attendance only
McGin 2 only slightly better than Luiz but abysmal
Ramsey 5
Coutinho 6 tidy
Buendia 5
Watkins 3 piss poor

What a stinker

[kipeye]

I genuinely would like to see Archer start given the performances we've seen recently. Should call him back. Sanson is a must. Hopefully, next game will see an improvement.

[Jon Crofts]

If this shower finish higher than 14th I’d be stunned.

[Richard E]

With the amount of possession we had in the second half we’ve got to be getting something out of that game, especially against such very limited opposition.

they didn’t seem that bothered.

Naaaa leave him at Preston, we'd destroy him with the way we play.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Sadly predictable. Disappointing against a sh-t team and home fans.
1 shot on target all game (3 in total from both teams! Awful).
So this is what an "upgrade" looks like...1 win in 7.
Listened to commentary 1st half. Poor from Villa and poor commentary. Was aware of improvement 2nd half without listening to the game, but not good enough. I've seen a still of the disallowed goal...a toenail! It certainly was not clear and obvious. Ollie and Villa have been done again. Var has ruined football. Surely we've got to beat Watford.

Indeed. Unless, of course, they play like a girl.
