At first I was like...

And then I was like...

Daylight robbery. Although Tish, irrespective of his goal, looks an absolute steal at £5m. We were a completely different team once he came on.

[ender4]

RDM out.

 

[BG_Villa_Fan]

Played very well towards the end. Another good point. 

[R.Bear]

A lot of hustle and bustle but ultimately, more of the same.

[Mantis]

Meh. Makes a nice change that it was us nicking a late equaliser.

[Phumfeinz]

Played like men possessed at the end, but deary me what garbage that was. Di Matteo out.

[snowychap]

Nice to nick a point, I suppose.

[rjw63]

Is 40 points enough to stay up?

[Davkaus]

70 minutes of utter shite, and some baffling decisions by RDM, I think that goal will paper over the cracks to some extent, but this wasn't a good performance at all. Newcastle should have been 3-4 ahead, we were lucky that their finishing was dreadful.

I don't agree with leaving Elphick on and taking Baker off, unless there was an injury, Elphick was appalling all day.

I don't agree with playing Kodjia out wide all day, especially when bringing on Hepburn-Murphy

Bringing Gestede on, leaving Ayew on, and taking off Adomah is **** ridiculous.

basically the opposite our other games this year. no where near good enough in the 1st half, much improved in 2nd half. Still want RDM out if nothing improves in next couple of games

[Sam3773]

Point against Newcastle. I think this is a turning point. Yeah it was a crap first half but that last half hour was beautiful. If we can do that all game every game, we are going up. 

[AVTuco]

All we need is confidence. This might be something to build on a bit. Maybe.

[srsmithusa]

only saw the second half.  Quite happy.  The theory that RDM can't change things at half time seems less likely.

 

[limvillian]

Kodjia is a class act. Also think we need Tshibola on the pitch at all times. 

[KSV]

If rdm is to stay I hope he's given up on the back 5 experiment. Just attack.

[astonaidan]

Kodja is class, I had planned on getting Big Ross on my jersey, but love this guy, hes got so much skill like a young Drogba. He could end being better than Benteke

[Farlz]

It was a poor performance but for once this season we are the team scoring late on, so for that I'm very happy with the point. 

Super pleased for Tish, I love him. Hepburn-Murphy was really great as well for the 5 mins he was on.

[Villa87]

Lots of questions to be asked. Although, it could have felt all the worse had we not equalised. RDM is on very thin ice for me - tactically inept.

Kodja is a bloody good player - touch of class and is **** determined.

[GNeeUs]

Last 20 mins superb, first 70 utter trash. 

Kodja - 10

Liked RHM just behind the striker. Baffled Adomah went off.
