Newcastle v Villa Post Match Thread

[LeonW]

Crap selection. Crap performance. Crap game management. I hope this no excuses culture extends to the manager and coaches.

Absolutely awful, clueless, worst performance of the season.

[N'ZMAV]

Matty Cash was absolutely useless in the final third.

Was you at the West Ham game at home?

Matty Cash, I can’t make my mind up on him, I’m not sure he’s as good as some think

We miss Nakamba. I can't believe I'm typing that, but he is absolutely critical to this system and the way we play.

I know, I’m with you on this !

And finally. Just seen the Leicester/ West Ham game. Wet Spam equalise with a ball clearly off the players upper arm. Review, 10secs, maybe less. Goal stands. And that's whyI fucking detest VAR.

Absolutely Disgraceful performance.
First 45 minutes was some of the worst Football I have seen us play. Sloppy, panicked,dreadful.

Digne looks bang average and the player to fight for his position was LOANED to today's opponents . F****g embarrassing. Only Villa could help out the richest Club in the world who on today's performance will overtake us in the league . I said at the time it would be a bad mistake .

Loaning out El Ghazi (who has scored many late goals for us) AND Trez was also a huge mistake.

Watkins and Ings look lost

Infuriating

Just heard this on a podcast:

When we lose it seems that it’s of our own doing, not because we’ve been beaten by a team outclassing us.

Walsall would have beaten us today.

Shit team selection, atrocious first half performance, no subs at half time. The subs that came on were terrible. There wasn't a single positive. We could get dragged back into a relegation battle if we don't improve quickly.

[Nii Lamptey]

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?

Easy -And this should have been the starting lineup today. Also needs to keep a defensive leash on Cash, as he offers fuck all going forwards!

Konsa > Hause
Luiz > Chambers (in DM role)
McGinn > Sanson

Well what's easy from way I'm able to read Gerrard is Chukwuemeka would be likely to be involved as he is every match and would be given an opportunity in midfield.
Ings in attacking role as well.
Young I would imagine is someone who and as uts vs Watford a lower  placed team is also someone to come in
Bailey depending on his fitness another
 So basically it's the usual but then options are limited


The over rash decisions of sending so many out on loan leaves us with few options.

[Villafirst]

Same old post-match excuses - passive, poor passing and giving the ball away.

Apart from Digne, none of the players you mention are actually good enough if we want to push beyond midtable.

Targett wanted to go rather than stay and fight for his place. If you think El Ghazi and Trez would of made any difference today, you havent been watching what ive been watching over last few years. Did you watch Brentford away a few weeks back?
