Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Exeter 77]

Relegation battle starts here.

Nonsense. It’s a really bad day, clearly, it basically went as wrong as it possibly could. Emery has shown plenty already to demonstrate that isn’t the norm.

It was always going to be an incredibly hard, even if we played well. They rarely lose at home, so us having a really poor day led us to slaughter. The biggest issue is Mings, because the other issues from today are recoverable, but his isn’t.

I don't think they tongue being in my cheek is visible in text.

I trust Unai, he’s done more with less. We do need an immediate injection of talent into the starting XI.

3-1, because their second and third shouldn't have stood but KSS have clearly bought the league.

I mean really, yes it's a reality check, yes they were better, but I feel like I'm being fucking gaslit here. Is nobody going to talk about how that offside wasn't given? Really? He was a whole leg offside! But you don't give decisions against the Crown Prince and you certainly don't talk about that.

Honestly, I hate it. The rich psycopaths who run everything else have now come for your hobbies, your loves, the things that give you meaning. And they've devoured them and left not a crumb.

Football is over. Fuck it, fuck everything.

Dear oh dear

Losing is one thing, but it’s the way we appeared to give up in the second half that’s the most worrying thing. Very moody away end too this afternoon. People stumbling around paralytic drunk and Villa fans arguing with each other all second half.

Maybe these superfans can let some others attend

It's exactly why, having had a pretty impeccable booking history for a few years, we let our away booking history lapse a couple of years go. A significant part of our regular away support are utter bellends. I like a drink as much as the next bloke, but I dont want to spend most of the game worrying if the bloke behind me or next to me is going to spew, or if someone coked up to they eyeballs is going to take offence to nothing at all and want a fight with me, or drunkenly grab my wife's hair and use it as a lever to springboard themselves over us when we score. Just stopped being fun, sadly,

PS : If not obvious, all three of those things happened at away games within the last 3 years.

Fair enough - the bit beyond the first word stands!

Whilst totally shocking may be it was coming. Players ended well last season and had a pretty good pre season so lot of complacency crept in. May be Unai also needs to think a little differently. All in all a terrible day.

Cash destroyed by Gordon.
Watkins nowhere to be seen.
Defence all over the place.
Christ, it can only get better after today.
At least we still have time to bring in some more players.

That would be the Anthony Gordon that a 37 year old Ashley Young had firmly in his pocket last time

[Risso]

That had disturbing undertones of Fulham away, the way the players gave up and folded.

Bailey made Burn look like Maldini.

That sounds absolutely shit, mate. I'm sorry to hear it.

On top of that you have those YouTuber/blogger types filming the whole fucking game. I hate them. At least they're not violent, I suppose.

Didn't he play central midfield that day?

Gordon hit a lovely cross for the first goal but I thought he was average apart from that (Cash was poor though generally).

Big issues were Isak and failing to get any control on their midfield so we need to learn from that.

Remember last time at VP we started Donk after months of inaction and he had a stormer so to me their are certain games where you need a physical midfield disruptor and Newcastle is certainly that type of game nowadays as we looked a small team v them today.

Cash was awful last game of the season and I am trying to understand why the RB position hasn’t been a priority in this window, I hope after today it is because Cash is no where near good enough.

I think big Emi might be dishing out a few bollockings. He was furious (and rightly so).

[Exeter 77]

Now my sarcasm meter has returned to normal... the most worrying thing from the day is Tyrone Mings' injury. I doubt we would have been so chaotic at the back in the last half hour if he had still been on the pitch. His organisational skills are possibly mire important to the team than his defensive abilities.
