Newcastle United 1 - 1 Aston Villa - 02/09/12 - post-match reaction from page 39


Recommended Posts

Pardew will get his wish of Ba and Cisse playing poorly for Senegal... they are playing fucking turd for us so it won't be a surprise! - They will come good but it's so strange to see them both playing like they have never met. Both going for same balls and both fairly poor when on the ball.

 

Our lack of ability from full back and winger to stick a decent cross in is killing us as well, regardless of how hard they work or what space they create.

 

Pretty turd game to watch, glad a moment of Ben Arfa magic saved us from a defeat. Always got to pick up points at home but against a Villa side, you'd hope to get see your team get all three. Just feel with the players we have that we should have done better today.

If there is a single positive, it would be that this result will hopefully lower some of the fans expectations a bit.

tbh we have high expectations due to last season pity the board or manager dont want to build on it

Actually a fantastic result considering how we played for the majority. Can't remember us ever being so utterly wasteful on set pieces and in crossing positions. Ridiculously bad.

 

I hope that gives the players a massive kick up the arse, because we're nowhere near as good as we clearly think we are at present.

Thank fuck we got away with a point from that. We are fucking diabolical, man. That was absolutely atrocious stuff. Our luck with those sort of performances will run out pretty soon.

 

We just seemed to be so overrun in midfield, Villa always had an extra man- it was like that against Spurs and Chelsea, too.

 

Our passing (or lack of it) is painful, horrendous. I'm not knee-jerking here but it was the same against Spurs and it seriously hindered us last season. We have technically brilliant players in our team, plus two of the best strikers in the league- with the ball at their feet- yet we just persist in launching it aimlessly up to our front men and give possession away time after time after time. Not good.

 

Ah well, early doors yet.
