Aston Villa v Newcastle Utd Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

My fear with Emery is that analysis is great, but it can squeeze the creative life out of you when all you have is the plan.

The joy we all felt after the back wins over City and Arsenal. It was supposed to be different this time. But we're Villa

[Astnor]

Most be our worst half at home since before Emery

[Chris_Jephcott]

Is it half time yet?

[Mellin]

Diaby cannot come out second half. 

Yep, needs some time out.

Hoping we have a Plan B as Plan A has been figured out. Early ball to centre forward is cut out, so we have periods of sterile possession instead. I'm thinking we should catch them cold second half and get two out wide hugging the touchline. Bailey and Ramsey on for Diaby and Tielemans.

from the first minute it looked like one of those typical shite performances

[Proposition Joe]

Where is this going wrong? Have we run out of energy? Have we been figured out? Have our players been taken over by league table vertigo?

Something has gone horribly horribly wrong here.

The glib response is that after half a season of being a good team, we realised who were and have turned back into Typical Villa.

But the energy levels are not there, and the movement up front is back to Gerrard levels for some reason.

[ChicagoLion]

We have absolutely nothing up front, nothing , no movement no intent no one offering anything

Well that was your first mistake - feeling joy.

[Nelly]

We may as well crack on with building the North Stand lol

[PeterWithesShin]

We need the chaos of Duran.

[JUAN PABLO]

they dont normally flag that quick ffs

[TonyD]

We lost the ability to defend, keep the ball and break with pace. 

[ez]

We've been well and truly sussed.

[Toronto Villa]

I'll take Europa League at this stage. Even Conference next season.

Champions League, you're having a laugh...
