Newcastle v Villa post match

[Baldy]

Only Duran will ever know if he meant that!!!

But Newcastle, every other team, crowd and referee know his reputation. Any benefit of the doubt has gone out the window. Newcastle and others will exploit that to the hilt.

Duran needs to be squeaky clean from now on. His reputation precedes him.

May have cost us a point or more today.

Cant believe unai feels we reacted well after going 1 down. Thats just pure fantasy. We were bad for the whole game even with 11 men.

We weren't at all, we did react well and were playing with decent possession in good areas of the pitch

Disagree as i said we did virtually nothing most of the game as a attacking force. We did not play well at all today. All you need to do is compare it to city and you can see we hit nowhere those levels. Id argue we were better vs forest too before the late collapse

Toon Twitter crediting Dubravka & Burn reaction in turning ref's mind from yellow to red.  Unai has a fair point in allowing VAR to make the call.

Martinez would have been booked if he had reacted to any incident like Dubravka did….

Thing is if the original objective of VAR was really to correct that obviously poor decisions (accepting the purpose of it has been a bit of a bumpy road since introduction) then I’m not sure it’s a decision to overrule. You’re essentially trying to determine the intent, which is entirely subjective.

We struggle when teams come at us and press hard that is why it puzzles me why Mings was not selected for this one. We were lucky that it was only 3-0. I give Emery his due, he has said that he expected a drop off this season with all the extra games to be played. There are games where you can play the ball out of defence this was not one of them, we got caught out to often. We need a win against Brighton and i'm thinking this will not be easy.

Results and performances like today are why we still aren’t taken seriously and considered one of the big boys..
Until we can be consistent, week after week after week, then we will always be considered as an also rans.

Forest, at the moment, are Villa, this time last year. They should relish it, because like for us, it will be fleeting success.

It's bizarre that Mings hasn't played a minute, to my memory, since getting motm v Brentford.

Forest really should relish it as you say but I refuse to believe our success is fleeting. There's a lot more to come from this squad, this manager and these owners. Today was no more than a bump in the road on our journey to success.

There'll be perfectly normal reasons, he was meant to play against Forest until the illness caught up with him.

[Rico]

I sent a message to my mate at half time wondering how much money the red had trousered for this game. It was so bent it was criminal.

[PaulWinch again]

No it wasn’t - that’s Arsenal fan nonsense. If we want to debate competency fair enough, but corruption - really? To what end exactly?

When we played them at home in Emery's first season and bear them 3-0, we deliberately didn't play from the back because of their press.

We have played five games since Brentford, Forest sure he was meant to play. Still strikes me as strange. Torres was never going to be able to deal with Isak today.

[PaulWinch again]

Coped alright with Haaland last week. Before you say it, I know Isak is on form and Haaland is struggling. But this idea that Torres can’t defend, and basically when we win it’s in spite of him and when we lose it’s down to him just isn’t the case. He makes mistakes, but so do all of our dedenders.
