Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Buendia was absolute dog muck today. That’s why he can’t be trusted to start games, at leadt away. Small, slow and sloppy.

Admittedly not his best game but have you seen the idiots in front of him. The easiest way to solve the Ings and/or Watkins is to play neither of them. Both were embarrassing to watch today.

Ings was playing? Oh. Him and Watkins desperately poor.

Ha! If it wasn't for the old fella trotting towards their keeper when he kicked it up field I'd have forgotten he started the game. Midway through the second half the TV camera showed his face and I was reminded he was still on the pitch. As for 'Ollie and his Amazing Clown Shoes', he may as well be a character out of Viz. Hilarious to watch unless you're a Villa fan.

Have our new owners wasted more than Lerner yet?

Saving the club from the oblivion isn’t the same as buying RB’s every five minutes

[PeterWithesShin]

It's staggering that both Ings and Watkins played the whole game. I do use the term 'played' very loosely.

[Toronto Villa]

Neither long term are good enough as starting PL strikers

[Legion]

That picture of Cameron Archer at the end summed it all up for me

I've missed most of this shit-show as I've been at work. I take it he looked pissed off at being left on the bench yet again when Ings and Watkins have been next to useless?

I genuinely don't think that player for player Newcastle are that much better than us, certainly not 12 points and 11 places better. They have spent the past year being far better coached than us and that's the big difference.

Emery has got his work cut out but, fortunately, not too many games between now and January. Wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t already have some transfer targets in mind although January is always a tough window. You never know, he may already have watched a few of our matches on video and so could give Archer a start. Can’t do any worse than our current strikers, if you can call them that. However, I am expecting us to turn over Manure next week😂

The last line, is where i am, even after todays shit show, i think we’ll beat that shower next week. Completely delusional, but hey.

Spot on. And that's my only comment regarding today's shit show. Roll on Unai Emery and proper coaching.

and that is where the problems start.
Massive upgrade required.

[Risso]

Roll on buying better players in January.

[N'ZMAV]

Roll on buying better players in January.

we've been saying that for years

[Percy McCarthy]

I want to see technically confident and astute players coming in.

Spot on. But it can be coached.

We rarely create space with movement, and on the rare occasion a Villa player is in space, we rarely pass to them. It’s so fucking infuriating to watch.

2 hours of my life wasted and it's now 1:30am.

Garbage.

Am now having a conversation with a season ticket holding mate on WhatsApp about now shit we are. He thinks McGinn should always start, and I can't say Mings is rubbish because he's 'adored at Villa Park'.

Sigh

I'm not particularly a fan of Eddie Howe, as I think there's an air of Redknapp about him.  However, you can't deny he's improved a mediocre Newcastle team.

It's what happens when you coach players as opposed to just telling to look you in the eye and try harder.  What a mess we are

They wasnt next to useless last week, which is why they got another go. This Archer obsession is odd. I don't think he would have made much difference at all.

I suggested before the game the same team might have been a bit lightweight with four attackers. We were awful.
