Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[algy]

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.

Just this.

[Risso]

On R5 today the reporter said that Everton basically battered Fulham, but couldn't score, Fulham's keeper basically kept them in it. Everton had a goal bizarrely disallowed as well, I'm not so confident.

When does the season start? I'm really looking forward to it.

I’m going with the view that given an extended sample size that performance was a massive anomaly. I believe in Emery’s ability to work it out and turn it round quick. I am worried about the Mings injury clearly, we’ll have to bring someone in to address that. But I believe we’ll look hugely different against Everton. Also today was horrible, but three of the goals we basically handed to them and we actually created several good chances to score. We redress that balance and we can run through Everton.

Our record v them since we came up is won 6 and two draws.

They'll sit back and we'll have endless possession so we should create plenty although no Mings at other end is a bit concerning as they'll be hitting in endless crosses.

String the match thread author up!

He's fortunate he lives in Canada, there's a mob gathering with pitchforks.

I think they've actually signed a striker too, just too late to play today.

It’s one game. An absolutely shit game and utterly shit 3 days. But it’s one game. And we will be better. Much better. Newcastle is arguably the hardest place to go and we were completely trounced. So sugar coating it. But it’s one game. Let’s keep perspective.

This for me, I'm more concerned about the injury to Tyrone than the loss of the game.

Q: When did we kick off today?

A: Every 15 minutes

The injuries this week have to have had an impact on the performance.  Nevertheless  I think the high line is going to be targeted by opposition  this season and Newcastle exploited its frailties perfectly.

[Baldy]

Since Emery arrived, Mings has been the foundation on which we have been built. Without that foundation, we collapsed. Plan B defensively, has not had sufficient time to gell, as yet.

Like Emery, I still think we have a better squad (when fit) than Newcastle and he decided to go for the jugular today. I don't blame him, with 4 wins out of the last 88 at Newcastle a new approach was required. It backfired.

A lot of work to do defensively but we still have the tools in the bag to have a very good season.

Hopefully, this is our Stevenage moment for the 2023 -2024 season.

It was all there

Elite manager
Top coaching team
Off the field setup looking good
Good players brought in to complement a good squad that got us 7th
Very good pre-season

But on the badge is says "Aston Villa", so we get the shit we got today. All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again.

It is all still there. We didn’t suddenly become absolutely shit because of one game.

Calm needed.

1 terrible performance doesn’t undo all the good things happening at our club. It happens. Nothing we knew before the game has changed - a football season is not defined by the first 90 mins. Last season we lost 4 of the first 5 and still finished 7th. Just about everything that could have gone wrong did today - capped off by the awful injury to Ty.

Emery will get it working and the time to reflect and draw any conclusions is normally 10 games in.

Match stats are interesting - basically even, except shots on target.

Agree, even Liverpool whne they were champions had worse results than this. One of them was actually 7-2.

Please bounce back Villa it might be sad and pathetic but it does get me down when they have results like today.
