yeah. it was just frustrating and out of character for more experienced guys in the team. Burn went rampaging up field and we lost the ball with him out of position, Tripps ill timed rush into midfield to stop the move and then Botman ignoring a clear instruction to shift left and cover their striker and ultimately arriving too late Lots of senior players lost their heads for the 4th

Personally find any form of negativity from our supporters in the stands directed at our players quite reprehensible, however this type of human behavior is very likely occurring at many games across the world and you probably don't need empirical research to accept this. It's human behavior and I don't expect each person of the 50 000 in the stadium to behave differently every time simply because they support NUFC. It's sad, its annoying and I wish we were better but it's true

True, was listening to a TRIF podcast not too long ago and Shearer, Linekar and Micah Richards were debating his progression and what he needed to do to move up to the elite level. Consistency, decision making and calmness in front of goal were highlighted. When he scored today I was telling myself "I have seen him execute that finish before quite often" so the consistency and calmness in front of goal is there.

Really enjoying watching Ollie Watkins...there so much certainty to his work this season not just in finishing but assists as well. Massive improvement which should put him right up there as a certainty for the Euros.

Geez..Villa are thumping SHU...every attack is being clinically finished

I said in the match thread he is a joy to watch simply because he is direct and has end product. We have serious options on the wings now

Agreed. I thought he played a big part in us conceding the 4th by sprinting up into midfield looking for an intercept that was never on the cards instead of holding position buying the others time to get back. Made up for it a few mins later though but that was just lazy defending. Funny the commentators on our feed mentioned same.

what a joy Harvey Barnes is

Get the fuck in

fuck it we not losing this one. come on lads!!!

wtf did Trippier do there. fuck off man

which comes from fatigue creeping in?

we flagging a bit now which is understandable after the efforts so far

Beautiful ball from Almiron

get the fuck in

yeah doesn't look right but probably keep it this way with the scoreline as is so Miggy can support Burn with Murphy doing the same for Tripps. Both are more defensively disciplined than Gordon

excellent first 45 Bruno back to his old commanding self Gordon full of running Miley making intelligent runs to support the attack Schar playing a blinder Burn composed with and without the ball. Rattled Villa with our pressing, smart movement and direct running Pity about Isak. ffs when will this end

ffs not again

Bruno back to his old self today

Schar you beauty

get in you beauty.

team news in yet?

Not sure how I feel about the game tonight and then went looking through our recent results and trying to get a sense of when I was super excited for a match and we were right up for it and got the job done. Probably the mackems however they were quite poor, and then before that Manure at home which was early Dec. It's been a tough couple of months so not sure what to expect tonight

Good time for Schar as a DM too early?

Now I have that song by Clean Bandit stuck in head "If you gave me a chance I would take it It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be" Not even going to attempt a link with my skills
