Newcastle v Villa post match

[eamonn]

Can we go one season without bending over to this lot or ManUre? Every bloody year, all the more if it's Christmas.

Thought Mowbray, Brown, Hitzlsperger and Given were all pretty shite too.

[PaulWinch again]

Standard utter shite up there. Our goal difference is indicative of a team who is too often too easy to play against. We need to bounce back against Brighton now. I thought Duran’s red was a red - just stupid.

[eamonn]

Surprised Uni didn't go to a back 3 with Mings on in the second half. I don't think too much can be read into the game after the sending off. It's annoying that shit always happens up there.

Say what you will about the 10 men but conceding so early and so easily was utterly pathetic. The worst thing you can do is concede early there and thats what we did.

Why was there no no closing? Cash didnt even attempt to press or close him down. Just the usual shit villa defending.

Why he didnt start with mings again. Absolute  mystery to me.. mings has been frozen out since his last excellent  performance.  I do not get it

Cash was caught in two minds as Hall was overlapping and there was no support. McGinn didn't track the run and it all stemmed from Kamara trying to be clever with a failed flick in midfield.

2 steps forward 4 back. We gone backwards this season in the league.

Scoring less and conceding  more. The summer transfer business has been utterly poor. Monchi has a lot to answer for.

I think our centres halves are atrocious. The sending off divides opinion but standing on someones backside is always likely to lead to a red, especially with that twat officiating.  Cash remains a liability, Buendia needs to be loaned out.  Our defending is often, too often, a shitshow.

This is fair comment.

[Villa Lew]

Thought the sending off was a bit harsh, if the ref hadn't given it, I reckon VAR wouldn't have overturned it. Couldn't understand, why Rogers was taken off, thought he was our best player in the 2nd half, but towards the end, we were looking tired and making mistakes, I was glad it was only 3 in the end.

correct. McGinn didn't track back.

Shite result. Shite day.

I’m not convinced we’d have got anything from the game with 11 on the pitch due to being defensively awful.

[PaulWinch again]

I’m annoyed, but not as annoyed as I thought. Possibly as I expected it, but also if you concede in the first 2 mins and have a man sent-off around 30 mins the likelihood of getting anything is incredibly small, so I wouldn’t read that much into the performance. Big game against Brighton now - 6 points from the 3 games over Christmas would be pretty good, but 4 or less isn’t great.

I think it was probably a pragmatic call - the game was gone and better to save energy for Monday.

[Le Lapin]

Last Boxing Day was as bad as I have felt in 35 odd years of supporting Villa. But we let ourselves down again today, can't stand how we let these fcukers get the better of us. Feels bad, but we were never at the races today. It's not like they came back from two nil down to beat us.

[kippaxvilla2]

Are all the factories working in Wolverhampton today?!

[PaulWinch again]

It’s a real beating, both scoreline and had how the game played out. We need to suck it up and learn from it. Unai does struggle against this style of play, he needs to work it out.
