Ryan Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Gestedes fella made a world of difference given conditions Really like Gestede as a player, reminds me of Carroll in his prime here when he was pretty much unbeatable in the air. Need to get Mitro to bully CB's like those 2 do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 We definitely had enough chances to win it, but overall the performance wasn't good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gino14 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I do think judging any performance on that pitch would be a little bit harsh. We were a lot better than them and playing okay before the pitch became waterlogged. We just didn't adapt very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Thought that was pretty grim, worrying how often Wijnaldum doesn't do anything for large periods. Watching Dummett is like watching a Williamson at left back. No idea how Bacuna didn;t get a yellow card in the first half like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 McClaren is to blame, he's a bottling clueless cunt! Same team was always going to make this twice as hard. Yes we got the first goal but it was hardly deserved, yes de Jong should have added a second but fucking hell, the lack of creativity is shocking. Wijnaldum, left mid? That needs abolished, asap! Regardless of his goal tally, he just disappears far too often. The left hand side is ongoing joke, even Hutton had free reign down that side, Alan Hutton ffs! Thauvin at least gave him a few troubles! Mitrovic was excellent with what he was provided with. He gave it his all when he came on, really don't understand why fans are quick to play him down.

Big Geordie Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Disappointing game, not helped by the weather. Once again, we were far too narrow, with everything going down our right hand side. Add to that, the lack or pressure when Villa had the ball and it was just poor. De Jong should have buried that header, and when he didn't - you could see Villa getting back into it. Helluva strike from Ayew mind for the leveler. If owt, it shows that we desperately need new blood into this side. Failure of the owner to put his hand in his pocket, in a couple of weeks and we could be going down with Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Need to get Wini more involved, he's wasted on the wing. I don't really know what De Jong can achieve with us though and I wouldn't really mind seeing him dropped especially for Ayoze. We really really need a central midfielder who actually knows how to close down and defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 ANita off instead of Colback is an awful decision. Awful. I said so at the match but the kid next to me said Anita had held his calf and signalled to the bench to come off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I don't get this team. I was hoping for an easy win. Seemingly, like a lot of sides in the league, we're a bit useless when the onus is on us to create chances. Would be interesting to see home/away win ratios compared to 10 years ago.

BrettNUFC Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Villa had more possession, more shots on goal, more shots on target and more corners etc....rock bottom, one of the worst point tallies at this point of the season, if not the worst...so yeah I think McClaren is to blame regardless if we should have scored at a crucial moment.

Grad A tosh. The team McClaren picked (and subs he made) created enough chances to win this game. It isn't his fault they didn't score. There's plenty to have a go at McClaren about during his time here but today's result is not one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar 15 poor minutes, the performance was fine. Not the most exciting but we are what we are: not a great side missing key components. We still had more than enough opportunities to finish that game off and didn't, that one falls at the doors of those who missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 People seem happy because we created a few chances against the worst side in the league. The team he selected was always going to make things tougher regardless of previous results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team he selected was always going to make things tougher regardless of previous results. The team he selected was only on the pitch for 30 minutes. Personally, I thought he made a mistake not starting one of Mitrovic or Perez, especially the latter, and wanted to see Thauvin start, but there was still enough there to put this side to the sword. We had the opportunities but didn't take them and that's because we're not very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
