Aston Villa v Newcastle Utd Match Thread

[Nev]

Flashes up front occasionally but that's damning with faint praise. Generally awful and Diaby a passenger.

Over to Emery.

[Nii Lamptey]

Diaby and Tielemans off for Jacob and Bailey please. Both been invisible first half.

Keep the faith. The Geordies ain’t all that.

[SamTheMouse]

More fucking cheating, putting the flag up straight away. ******.

Yeah, what the fuck was that about? It wasn't a clear offside. Have they changed the rules just for us?

[TonyD]

Let’s see what Emery can change for the second half. 
I think we can be fixed. 

[PaulWinch again]

Utterly terrible, disjointed and an absolute mess. Incredibly easy for Newcastle and 2-0 flatters us. We aren’t scoring here you can tell.

[Risso]

Diaby is an utter waste of time and money. Useless.

[ChicagoLion]

They are smart enough to know how to park the bus.
I can not understand why we again take the field with 10 men because Diaby has been a passenger for weeks.

[taylorsworkrate]

No surprises. Performances since the Arsenal game have been medicore at best and this was always on the cards.

I can see this ending up 3 or 4 nil

[Demitri_C]

Can someone tell me why they flagged on that move that didnt even look offside??

Surely you let the move play out and then see if ut was off like every single fucking time that's happened against us all season ?

[villadelph]

We need someone to compete with Ollie. His contribution has been horrible for weeks.

[LeeB]

Let's be honest, we're clearly not as good a team as we thought we were.

It has taken the absence of one player - Torres - to destroy the way we try to play, and we don't have any other way of playing.

We're just not that good.

Yeah, it's Torres missing that's the issue, it was the same when he sat out the European games but the opponents were shite so we got away with it.

[wolfman999]

We are missing Torres big time. Yet again we have a player with a supposed minor injury that goes on for week after week. This poor form has matched his absence exactly in my opinion.

[Proposition Joe]

We've been well and truly sussed.

The other 19 teams have had half a season to figure out how we setup and how we play, because we don't change it, and how to therefore stop it. And they have.

[andyh]

 Central midfielders dictate the pace of play.
Ours are playing walking football.
I don’t think dougie will have any wet shirt problems to worry about
