Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Yes I am.starting to get a little worried about Kamara. Not sure he can really be arsed.

Question - do him and Luiz ever play well together?

[Toronto Villa]

I realize this heavy loss is painful but successful teams on occasion do get battered. There is a team this season playing CL football that won last season won a trophy and lost 7-0 to a team that didn’t make the CL.

Yes, lots of times.

What an awful day, some excuses
- pre season results led to over confidence among the group
- this maybe led to a dreadful team selection by Emery, Gerrard esque, leaving us light in midfield
- Leon Bailey cannot be trusted to start away from home
- Neither Cash or Digne are good enough for games like this, worryingly Cash is still first choice
- Impact of Mings injury, coming so soon after Buendia's, destroyed the team
- Tielemans and Torres particularly will need to time to adjust
- first game of the season can throw out bizarre results, hopefully this is it.

I think Kamara must have had a very short summer break as he was off on international duty in June after getting married. He was consistently very good last season so am sure he’ll get his form back.

- Tielemans and Torres particularly will need to time to adjust

Genuine question. Tielemans has been in the Premier League for 4.5 years, and he's been with the squad from day 1 of preseason. What is it he needs to adjust to?

Really?

Maybe to realise that he's not playing for a relegation contender team?

[Clampy]

I know some fans can be an impatient bunch but asking why a new player is not quite up to speed after playing 45 minutes for his new club is quite something.

He hasnt been physically or mentally tuned into PL football for about 12-18 months. Not a good first cameo yesterday to put it mildly.

Everything went wrong yesterday, conceding when and how we did, not taking good chances that came our way, injuries, starting with 10 men because of Bailey,  Cash, Kamara and Konsa playing like donkeys, the ref pulling us up for every contact but allowing them to come through the back of us at will, the VAR selective sight.

Might as well get it all out in one go and start again next week I suppose.

I agree with this, and in particular points 4, 5 and 6.

Also we were rinsed down our right flank yet again.  I hate it when that happens.

I agree with all of it, and to add wondered if a bit of over confidence comes from thinking everything will be fine because of who our manager is.

That's fine for us fans, the players, not so much.

He certainly didn't look good yesterday, but that's not confined to him. I would have thought having the entire preseason with Emery and the squad would have been enough to shake off any of his lacklustre attitude remaining from last season. As I said though, everyone was bad yesterday, so hopefully in his case it's just a one off.

So we have 37 vs 38 games to win the league. So what. We only needed 1/2 season to get into Europe. Piece of piss.
