Aston Villa v Newcastle Post-Match Thread

Didn't see the game, how did our 50m man get on in midfield? Making only one sub seems odd.

Much like everyone else (other than Bizot) looked entirely off it. I include Unai in that, as I think our game plan was just wrong.

Think YT at 10 is a better option away from home or in a game where we won't have much possession. Don't think Emery rates Malen all that much and no run for Buendia suggests his pre season form doesn't count for much.

Happy enough with a draw playing with ten men against twelve. A year unbeaten at home in a fantastic achievement. We used to have a civic reception if we made a week.

Another game tyrone mings doesnt lose when he starts 😁

Struggle to get the ball out of defence quickly though. Which possibly contributed to our lack of a win.

Yup, that played a major part in why we struggled. I don’t think any of the defence were great, just that Newcastle lacked a focus point.

Not stating Torres would have stopped them scoring, OR improved the attack, but he might have at least threaded some balls to the forward four, especially with Tielemans not being back to take the ball off Mings and do that.

I do agree with your first point but not your second. We didnt get it forward quick enough but mings was solid. I dont think we would have kept a clean sheet if pau started.

The main reason we didnt win is because our passing was generally poor especially  in that 1st half. It did seem we were set up abit negatively. Add that with no pace at all in the team. Malen should  have started.

I think we actually missed ramseys energy today

We’re going to see Mings Torres for at least one game now. Konsa will have earn his place back if we keep it tight at the back.

[PaulWinch again]

Who knows but Newcastle didn’t offer much, certainly not physically up top so not really the type of challenge Pau struggles with.

I wouldn't be so sure. I can see Emery deciding Kamara or Bogarde could go there.

I suppose their set pieces would have had some physicality in the box with Burn or Schar.

Defence was ok, distribution going forward possibly not helped by new goalie understandably being less confident with the ball at his feet than Emi.

Poor distribution from attacking midfielders.  Rogers had a bit of a stinker.  Tielemans didn’t really get into the game going forward.

Better to come hopefully.

[NorthYvillan]

Watkins was especially shit.

Of course he was

Other than get caught offside, lose the ball and have one shot straight at the keeper what did he do?

A lot more than Rogers

Rogers had a few dangerous runs and was fouled.

Rogers was also not far off Ollie's goal return last season btw. Despite not being a striker.

and tripped over his own feet and gave away posession on several occassions. to me, he always tries to take on just that one too many before passing

[villa for life]

Hard to drop Bizot after today and hope he gets to continue.

Mings solid as always and interesting that Emery didn’t bring on Torres.

I wouldn’t mind Kamara continuing with Mings if that is what Emery chooses to do.

[Matt C]

Given the circumstances, take that point all day long and move on - work to do.

A year unbeaten at home is quite remarkable.

Poor first half. The better side in the second half up to the red card. Maybe Konsa saved us a point with that, we'll never know. Newcastle did little after it anyway.

This is the best i think ive seen at as a farm in terms of home record. Excellent  work.

Im proud that teams  acknowledge  villa park isnt a place to come anymore
