Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[tomd2103]

Shameful second half performance which was as bad as anything witnessed over the last decade and more of many terrible performances.  They completely gave up and it could have been 6 or 7 in the end.

[Richie]

Jesus ! Was always going to be a tough game today but the way we folded in the second half is very worrying. Emery has got a massive job on his hands.

[LukeJames]

Are Newcastle going to claim a concussion sub?

They can because we made one.

Anyway standard performance from us up there.

[PeterWithesShin]

So some people* are saying that as we made a concussion sub, it means Newcastle get an extra sub.

*Including Luke above

[LeeB]

6 subs. Replay please.

No thanks, it was bad enough once.

[MalcolmP]

6 subs. Replay please.

They get an extra sub because we used a concussion sub for Martinez

First half was decent, lots of Emery to like from first 40 minutes in how solid we look.

Second half was a complete p*** take so less said about that the better and shows why we're barely above bottom three. Newcastle already being 12 points ahead of us pretty much shows what can happen when you waste 12 months in football on the wrong manager.

Ollie really should be joining McGinn on the subs bench, fed up of him doing stupid things at key moments.

Interested what forward players Emery picks next week. We certainly need a response in a home league game we never win.

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.

Odd rule, but then again it stops teams being twats.

[N'ZMAV]

That was fucking dreadful.

Useful for Emery to see how utter horse-shit these players can be.

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

[Monty]

A bleak fucking day.

[hilts_coolerking]

Emery is going to be incredibly good for us when we give him a decent squad.

[LeeB]

Konsa has been useless under any pressure for too long also, Chambers should be starting.

I must admit that I didn't know about a concussion sub giving the opposition the opportunity to make an extra substitution... but what a stupid rule as today's match proves.  Team A loses influential player in a specialist position; Team B can throw on another pair of fresh legs any time they like.
