Fully rested, only one injury in the first team - I would hope Newcastle ought to win today. But I definitely view it as a game we shouldn't lose, if we can't win. Our GD advantage over some chasing sides is not that useful unless we have a three point lead. Hopefully we've learnt from the AC Milan game if it's still nils apiece with 80 minutes gone.

Fulham seem fully checked out. Unrecognisable from the side that faced Newcastle.

The players who come in for Liverpool will want to prove they deserve their contract/minutes. Not too concerned.

Ridiculous that both Spurs and Man Utd have an easier path to the CL than NUFC.

Yes to this.

Arsenal really surrendered their aesthetic footballing identity. If they don't even get a footballing trophy out of it....

Arsenal aren't even close to equalising. They just need to not concede another. This is so daft.

Arsenal have all the creativity of a midfield with Nicky Butt, Alan Smith and Geremi.

This panicky response to going a goal down in a 180-minute tie really speaks to a lack of underlying confidence tbh.

Arteta has got this all wrong. Did he know there was a second leg? He's had Arsenal trying to imitate Newcastle, now the lot of them are utterly gassed.

I do enjoy how sensitive Liverpool fans are to them being one of the worst sides to win the title in the Premier League era.

Game of opinions and all that, but this as the takeaway from that cameo baffles me tbh.

I know I should want Villa to win, but I enjoy them losing too much

Quite underwhelming performance until the sending off. Difficult to pick the bones out of the rest given the depleted opposition, but not the confidence-rousing performance I'd hoped for tbh. Isak still looks decidedly out-of-sorts (yet still has 2 in 2 games). Really pleased for Osula. Proper livewire. Three points most important, Howe gets a bit more rest. Much improved performance required next weekend.

I'm going to let go of my irritation at Wilson being subbed on ahead of Osula ahead of time. This is the way.

Need Everton to be annoying to another team for a change to stymie Chelsea's spawny charge for top five.

It feels better. I'm going to go with that.

They were creaming us before bench came into play tbf. Tindall has just been outmanoeuvred.

Well deserved. Fair play to Villa, they've been much better than Newcastle today. Manner of the defeat probably worse than the defeat itself. Very naive and indisciplined performance from quite a few of the older and wiser heads, but not that big a deal if they screw their heads on straight for the next game.

Their wide players are dropping back, pulling out our full backs, then they are just doing long diagonals into the channels for Watkins against our slow CBs. Feels rectifiable

Such a great deal, people tell me it was one of the best deals, Donald Trump is already claiming credit for it.

Parish turning down £70m

Of course he calls him Izak.

McGinn is almost a pound-for-pound perfect specimen of the no-mark bitter central midfielder. No discernible talent, snide, clogger, a bad attitude, jealous.
