Aston Villa vs Newcastle Match Thread

[Dave]

How many of the first-choice defence can we get serving suspensions simultaneously?

At the moment we're on one, aren't we?

I'm including Emi.

But as soon as Konsa's suspension starts, his finishes.

So it's one for this game and (at time of writing) one for the next.

[OzVilla]

Brave to not put Torres on here.

[Somniloquism]

New season same shit

So 4th or 6th this season then?

[devilla]

Very soft for me, not much contact really.

It’s a red card everyday.

Yep I'd be very upset if it wasn't red if it was the other way around.

[JUAN PABLO]

watkins slack there    and nearly hit us for it.

[Hillbilly]

Rogers, Watkins and McGinn have been useless in attack.

[villadelph]

Blaming cash is hilarious

He wasn't the immediate cause of the red card, but we had the ball in a good attacking position and he did his usual thing when he gets in the final third and floated an aimless ball into the middle that was more like a great clearance for the Saudis.

He's a liability going forward.

Ridiculous. He crossed a ball to the top of the box and they countered, it happens. A winger who’s playing as a lone striker today walks in between two flat footed CBs - that’s the problem. Out of your mind.

I don't think Konsa gets enough abuse compared to the other defenders.

Then you woke up 😂

[The Edge]

New season same shit

I agree. Every season something seems to happen to give them the edge. Mings injury and out for the season. Last season Jhon Duran's controversial sending off. Will it ever end?

[OzVilla]

That was all on Cash not Konsa.

[enigma]

This is going to be even more one sided for the last 20 minutes isn't it? Will be miserable to watch.

[Toronto Villa]

I don't think Konsa gets enough abuse compared to the other defenders.

Konsa didn’t have a good pre season. I commented a few times how he was caught on the ball or poor passes getting us into trouble. He’s very good when he’s on his game but there has been complacency creeping in.

[PaulWinch again]

That was all on Cash not Konsa.

No it wasn’t.

[Dave]

That was all on Cash not Konsa.

If every poor ball into the box = one of your players getting sent off, most games would be abandoned by half-time due to lack of players.
