Aston Villa v Newcastle Post-Match Thread

Yeah that might help I’m sure, it’s not our biggest gap in the immediate term though.

what was the Premier League  song about?

Not sure, but we'll probably play the Championship one by mistake this season.

It is for me.

[PaulWinch again]

That’s fair enough. My view is though right back is functional if not ideal. We have material gaps in other areas.

Last time we started the season with a 0-0 was Fulham away in 2011.

The last time we kicked off a league campaign with a 0-0 at home was in 1902 !

The priority is a Right Back and it has been for a while now.

We have had a serious recruitment failure when it comes to that position. We have signed two who after 1 and 2 seasons are not deemed good enough to replace a barely adequate current occupant.

He really didnt. Once the goals dried up he offered very little..one sure way to piss Rogers off if he's moved wide to accommodate him again. No tactical flexibility with Asensio, 10 or the bench. We can't afford that.

We beat them 4-1 and very handily with Asensio playing in the 10 AFTER his goals dried up.Today with almost the same team bar him and Maatsen and we were nowhere at all.

Just seen the sending off incident. It's a bit daft to try and put that one on Cash.

Keep playing like that and never mind champions league, it’ll be relegation.

Agreed, and we were getting pretty good results with Konsa there.
He had tried Desasi, Nedjelovijk Konsa, Garcia Bogarde which tells you it’s a problem that has not been fixed.

Behave

[ROBBO]

Don't understand the criticism of Watkins and I'm not his biggest fan, he had no supply and left isolated up front. Malen, why did we buy him if he is overlooked each week? Rashford proved last season that speed out wide is all important. The new keeper very capable.

Garcia, who’s the other one? I’ve forgotten!
