Newcastle v Villa Post Match Thread

[astonvilla82]

Apart from this tactic, that tactic, the players don't fit the system we play, the minimum you ask from your players is they put in some effort, especially against opposition like Newcastle who were absolutely shit themselves, they could have won today without the skill required

VAR rule changes just goes to show you can be a toenail the wrong side of the thick line just as you could of the thin line. I've said it before - if it takes longer than 30 seconds to make a decision surely too close to call. GOAL.

Did anybody else not celebrate our goal because you kind of knew what was coming?

Yep, me

I thought it was offside but still jumped up, but most definitely a subdued jump of glory. It was very much like how we played, a lame effort and no real conviction.

Not read all posts  until tomorrow but I'm afraid time is up for the undropables

Mcginn
Luiz
Watkins

If not then the beady eye of blame will turn directly towards Gerrard

[Taylor]

Fooking shite today. 

Cash - useless
McGinn - terrible
Watkins - get rid
Luiz - offers nothing

What? That’s ridiculous, I think SG needs more than a January transfer window and 3 months in charge before “the beady eye of blame” come on ffs

[Toronto Villa]

There will be a number of changes next week. I don’t see Watkins, McGinn and Luiz starting. They’ve all been shit or simply anonymous. Just not good enough. I was very disappointed all three started today

Honest question who starts for Luiz? Sansom for McGinn? Ings I guess for Ollie?

Tim. I’m not going to attempt to spell his surname without some practice.

I think we are a bit short of numbers to make wholesale changes.  Next week is also one of those games where we really need to win to build some momentum and hush any chat about dropping down the table any more than we have/will do.  I think we have too many forward thinking/attacking players and not enough grafters in the squad.  The centre of our midfield is a huge problem and I can only really see Sanson coming in.  Chucky isn't ready, Iroegbunam perhaps deserves a chance?  Luiz and SJM were absolutely dire today though.

Todays modern soccer fan has the patience of a nat!  Gerrard needs time to fix the very gaping problems he inherited. I’m not saying he will - but the very least he deserves is the opportunity now he’s been appointed. It takes more than 13 games that’s for sure.

[Allan C]

That was a truly dreadful display and, for me, possibly the worst performance because Newcastle are an awful team. Watkins should have been dropped two games ago and surely must be dropped now. His body language says it all. As for the rest, just shocking, none of them come away with any pluses in my view. And what an earth is the set piece coach (coaches) doing?? Definitely get rid

What was worrying (apart from being crap ),was that comparing the two teams before kick off, how many of their players would you have had in our side?
