Injuries racking up further. Now Joelinton down. His football is just not suited to being in this many competitions.

I'm not a big stats person so I don't know, but I wonder if the 'miles covered' bears that opinion out. I agree with you he's not as clinical as you'd like (and as he has shown in streaks he can be).

Good from Botman, that.

He beat two down the left too and put in a good ball by himself. I don't get the level of Gordon stick. He's not perfect, but who else in the team is willing to take on defenders or beat a man except him and Hall? Literally no one. Everyone else just passes it from side to side, or back until they get back to Gordon and if the attack fails, it's on him.

Did I misremember him putting in the cross for Miley's header? (Genuinely)

I think it's a really uneven performance. Miley, Gordon and Joelinton have been good IMO. But the poorer performances have been shocking. Villa deserve the lead, much better today IMO.

Trippier just needs to stay in the defensive third.

Not a feature of NUFC 25/26. Crosses or shots. Not sure if it's an overconfidence in CBs or not.

Wissa with his back to goal so far at Newcastle has been so so bad. The other day he received it back to goal, no pressure, ran back through our midfield then to the defenders

Nice play by Gordon and Hall. Trippier is cooked.

I had the same question this morning. Only read the headlines, but Villa's position in the CL spots seems solid - and the headlines indicate he's all in on the Europa.

If we miss out on top 8 by goal difference, that Harvey cross which Wissa airballed will be quite haunting.

That's a great display

Very few top 16 teams facing each other in the final round of fixtures from a quick glance. Newcastle and PSG, Inter and Dortmund. That's it?

Ideally Hall hits a shot at Mbappe's thigh which then grazes his hand, and Hall scores the resulting pen. (Tino being injured).

It's a good professional win And another clean sheet, which is welcome.

Very nice seeing Miley get the armband and Elanga look sharper. And Barnes took his chance really well.

Yeah, I'm not interested on pissing on anyone's chips tonight but this has been a mismatch. This CL format is dreadful. Not had to play particularly well, just too fast and strong for them. Three PSV ricks and three goals

Have they had a shot on goal?

Great game from Joelinton. Good matchup for him.

Gerrin. Curse has to end some time.

Good time to mention I'm going to the Spurs match on Feb 10th. Soz.

Hopefully we can execute the nuanced game plan of running physically and physical running to showcase our running and physical skills.

Did the ref nope out of the bung, do we think?

Second dodgy pen awarded to Morocco in ET for me marra.
