Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[jwarry]

Newcastle looked fitter and more aggressive than us.

Newcastle look like they have had consistency in their coaching and believe in what they are being asked to do. We appointed a coach to replace Dean Smith and he essentially tried to change too much while fucking everyone off in the process. It’s a recipe for the meal we all got served today

Yes TV it’s just this. I even suspect the players are crying out for leadership

[Clampy]

Callum Wilson is not miles  better than Watkins, that's just angry rubbish.

[brontebilly]

I think the only players I’d be upset about losing would be Martinez & Cash

Thought Cash was rubbish today and has been all season.

[Aldridge Villa]

Cash was indeed shit today. He was in good company mind.

Traveling around Australia, France, and Bournemouth doesn't help.
Preseason was a curse for me and these players are fatigued off back of it all.
Brilliant results on tour, but it's no surprise after all the pre season getaway and being so far from England and all the travel. Did you know Villa did most air miles during pre season. For Newcastle we travel a long distance again and lose. This also occurred in Bournemouth.
I see that as distinctly telling.

I hope they signed up for the relevant Frequent Flyer programmes.

The club Air Miles account must be thriving.

Yeah it was either Danny or Tyrone that missed the plane once.
They were flying without Mings/Ings

Callum Wilson is not miles  better than Watkins, that's just angry rubbish.

He’s got as many goals as Watkins in the last two and a bit seasons in just over half the games. His all round game is much better than Watkins.

[PeterWithesShin]

Wilson is a very good striker when fit and is better than Watkins, Almiron spent over 3 years being shit.

Ask Tom Hanks who he like to be stuck on an island with.

Yes. Disappointingly, this is true. In particular, most of his crossing is a complete waste of time.

That’s bollocks. All of the top 6 teams regularly do multiple pre season tours in all corners of the world - it’s a standard part of being a Premier League footballer over the summer at this point. Absolutely no excuse for tiring us out. We’ve had multiple international breaks to reset us too.

As multiple posters have said, they have a relatively equal squad to us in terms of raw ability, but have had 12 months of vastly superior coaching to us - so look far better. It’s not rocket science. If anything, what Howe has done with this Newcastle team shows what might be possible with Emery. They haven’t spend hundreds of millions of pounds at all.

Most of our international players either being injured or losing their places is a blessing. Emery will be able to work with 90% of the squad throughout the 6 week break.

And quite often last season.

I don't think it is much of an exaggeration.

Watkins is shite.

I don't care if he runs around a lot, he's a striker with a first touch that seems to involve some sort of random number generator to decide in which direction the ball will go.

He's absolutely nothing like good enough for this level. Wilson clearly is and has shown it over several seasons.
