Aston Villa v Newcastle Post-Match Thread

[villadelph]

I thought both sides looked toothless.  They were better first half, we were better second half but even after that twat Konsa went off, the barcodes still looked toothless.  0-0 was a fair and accurate result.  Villa defended ok, sloppy passing let us down. I'm ok with a point.

If they had Isak or had actually gotten Sesko though..

If my aunt had.......

Well, he’s saying they’re toothless but they don’t have a striker. I get it, you play who’s in front of you, but their situation has to be considered. Getting away with a cleansheet today was a blessing.

Decent point given the context. Another clean sheet with Mings leading the backline .
Bizot Mings and Cash did well. As did Kamara when he dropped back.
Too many loose balls from the midfielders and Watkins was dire.
We lack pace and goals in that team .

Didn't see the game, how did our 50m man get on in midfield?

He was brilliant, ran the show.

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.

[PaulWinch again]

Watkins wasn’t dire and none of the defence were that great either.

[Smirker]

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.

Watkins wasn’t dire and none of the defence were that great either.

Burn got away with a lot against Ollie today. Ref gave him no protection. The two hand shove to the back while he was in the air toward the end of the second half was a wild no call.

Another game tyrone mings doesnt lose when he starts 😁

[eamonn]

Pay JJ the extra 40k a week he wants. We look so lumpen.

[SamTheMouse]

We improved a lot in the second half, until the sending off.

We'll be fine, but we need to sign a tricky winger or two.

He has already gone and not sure if he would have made any difference anyway.

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

[PeterWithesShin]

At least it looks like we have a very capable backup keeper now.

We had two on the bench, one was given all of 8 mins plus stoppages and did as much in those 8 as the rest did in 90 odd.

Maybe it was due to Bizot’s limitations, I don’t know, but we certainly didn’t mess around at the back today.
