Newcastle vs Aston Villa utter disaster

[Ducksworthy]

I don’t tend to watch highlight reels on YouTube but that one Sky just put on for Diaby was very good.

[JUAN PABLO]

Don't like it. It should  have been Tielemans instead of bailey starting.  Far too risky selection  playing them up there.

suprised he hasnt started Tielemans for Bailey.

Bailey better have a stormer

[Bad English]

I suppose Bailey has been involved in some important goals and assists but he looks like me trying to play football with the kids on the municipal pitch. Useless, chasing shadows and likely to break an arm or an ankle.

He'll probably have a blinder now.

Yep, he now needs to shit or get off the pot.

Surprised daiby and Bailey - think one might ah e been on the bench if Beundia hadn’t exploded -

[edgysatsuma89]

Really happy Torres isn't at left back, not so happy about Bailey. Hopefully I'll be eating some custard with my humble pie.

His injury is worse than I thought!

[Steve67]

I wonder if Diaby might play slighter deeper in the 10 role and drop into spaces. We shall see.

[Rigadon]

It's weird we've spent £60-odd million on centre halves and neither is currently displacing Mings or Konsa.  Fair play to those two. 

Anyway, good to be back watching football. UTV.

[Steve67]

Good atmosphere up there.  We need to shut their crowd up nice and early.

[SoccerHQ]

Would've preferred a box midfield today or at least McGinn out wide.

If it's Diaby on the left he's going to need to track back constantly as we'll be on the backfoot a fair bit with Almiron and Trippier that side.

Fair to say I'd be happy with a point today. Good thing is you look at both teams and it looks very evenly matched back to front so when was the last time you could say we arguably had as good a team as one that's just finished 4th in the premier league?

[PaulWinch again]

Win please.

All I could hear was the Beatles …

[AV84]

If you were a neutral this would be the most exciting game of the weekend, I think.
