Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Newcastle

[Herman22]

That couldn’t have gone any better for Newcastle. Get everyone behind the ball and pump it long at every opportunity and focus on set pieces. 

We need to improve and fast. 

[Raymond]

I'm officially not having fun anymore.

Hello darkness my old friend.

Crazy how things change when we stop trying to play it through the middle into centre backs and a packed midfield. Back to the same set up expecting a different result next game though no doubt.

So I guess we're shit now.

Appears to be the case since the Arsenal game.

can single certain players out all you like (and i'm sure people will) but every single player bar ollie, bailey and arguably mcginn wouldn't score above a 4/10 tonight

[Awol]

Yikes. We’ve got some problems at the moment, and I’m not sure why - or how they can be fixed. 

[Mantis]

Pathetic.

You win some. Hard lessons. Learn and go on. No reason to melt down.  We're going to lose sometimes. That's life. UTV.

This has been brewing for a month

The league season is in danger of nose-diving based on the last 5 games. Worrying.

Agree.

I can accept our first home league defeat to someone decent and in good form but these jawdee clowns have been neither.

Villa of old, helping out someone on a shitty run, thought we were past that but obviously not.

[Mr_Dogg]

We've got problems, no point denying that anymore. Not sure what the fix is.

[PieFacE]

Ah well. We're in very poor form. The lack of intensity is our play is incredibly frustrating. We're not winning the ball back in transition enough to break quickly. Our distribution out the back is way too slow and ponderous. 

We're so easy to defend against atm

Unai had a mare as did 80% of our team.

no urgency in the passing when on the ball, and where the hell was the movement off the ball? There was hardly a decent pass on all game.

basically like watching Southgate’s England for most of it. 

February not looking good if we don’t seriously improve on that performance 

[duke313]

Newcastle with 1 (one) away win all season, and we manage to gift them their second.

[AVTuco]

Continuation of a worrying trend. Poor performances starting to turn into losses. Oh well.

Spoken like a true centrist!

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

I actually gave Unai a poor rating tonight.

Never done that before but it is what it is.

Anyway, we'll get through this.

Why? You knew it was coming. It always does. Embrace reality.
