Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Steve67]

We are a disorganised rabble who give up far too easily when the chips are down.  This tells me that the players are not proud enough of their shirt and don't work hard enough on the pitch, therefore a lack of leadership all round.  You can see it in the way that we play.  Too tentative, easy to push aside, out of shape, lacking concentration and disorganised.   There isn't one player at Villa that I look forward to watching as they are just too inconsistent.  Emery needs to smash it up and start again.  Other than Emi Martinez, I would be quite happy to see what we can get for any of the rest.  Other than JJ as I want to see him progressed.

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

It isn't, it's a fact

I know which one I'd rather have as my number 9 and it isn't Ollie Watkins.

[Goldenballs]

Wilson is head and shoulders above Watkins.

Family day meant completely missed the game. 
Sounds like did okay first half and then fell apart in the second.

There wasn’t much between the two teams in the first half but in the second we didn’t really compete at all. It looked as though Danks tried to change things after going behind nothing worked and we just looked stretched. I also didn’t get why half way through the first half we switched Bailey back to the right where he’s far less effective.

Because Cash is shite and needed help?

Thanks Christian Purslow, your sad vanity project has undoubtedly set the club back years.
8th highest paid squad in the league. Absolute wank.

I still think the money wasted when we sold Grealish is the biggest issue. Absolute criminal use of £100m.

No doubt, a complete and total fuck up.
All of our problems go back to the fucking around at the Lensbury club and the frittering away of a £100 million.

And yet those 3 players have started the grand total of 2 games together. Last Sunday and today.

Started with Grealish. Exacerbated by Gerrard. Hopefully resolved by Emery.

Because they're mostly not very good.

[CT Villan]

Newcastle were fitter and faster to everything. They were also playing with much more confidence than us and it made a big difference. We were back to our ponderous, laboured best.

We go again.

I think Gerrard not having a clue about his best team, best formation or what tactics to successfully employ, after a year in the job, has also had something to do with it.

[Legion]

Just a little.

Yet it was Young who they appeared to be targeting so seems an unlikely explanation.

Left at 6.30AM  home at 11.15PM. Thought we more than matched Newcastle first half. Just the final ball. Second half was a disaster. Thank God the new manager has already signed on. That's only 1 point on the road this season. Hopefully we can make ourselves more difficult to play against away from home. Certainly a big job for the new man.

[Drummond]

Confidence and coaching will sort that shambles out.

Yeah, think it was more likely that they moved Watkins over to help Young out defensively.
