Mazzy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Yes 100% that was huge. Gave us chance to calm down and re organise. Same as when Dubs when down 'injured'. Gary Neville said it on commentary towards then end that as a team we are far more street wise than before. Edited February 13, 2022 by Mazzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before then, Villa were way on top and had a goal disallowed by the slightest of margins. It seemed that it let us regroup again and get reorganised, Howe got a few words in on the touchline. Villa never really threatened again for the rest of the game. I am glad it was nothing bad that happened with the fan, too. The continued breaks in play helped us in the second half. The top teams know when to foul and I thought there was a grit and determination today missing earlier in the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 after the none equaliser went in - couldn't take any more and grabbed the dog and went for 40 min walk (like I did for the Burnley win). As I was walking back to the house, all 3 kids were waiting at the window with big smiles on their faces, so lovely to see that they are getting hooked on NUFC........I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Huge win - can't be understated how important it could be, in the scheme of things. Dan Burn was immense - mind, they all were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix711 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Wow, lot of generous ratings. Thought we were pretty fortunate second half. Just like against Watford, we sat back and invited pressure, got a massive warning for the goal but fortunately Villa had no cutting edge. Dubravka - 7 Not much to do, swept one through ball well and kept a clean sheet. Distribution bad as always. 7 for the clean sheet. Trippier - 8 Made a few passing errors but was put under pressure a lot with no help. Important goal and offered a threat going forward which pinned Digne back for the first half. Schar - 7 Solid with some important interception when he stepped up into the midfield to pinch the ball. Burn - 8 Excellent in the air and commanded the back line well. MoM for me. Manquillo - 7 Promising when going forward and solid enough defensively. Like Trippier, because he offered some kind of threat Cash felt wary of over committing when he was on. Joelinton - 5 Scrappy in midfield and could distribute better when he did win it. Lost possession 11 times with less than 80% pass accuracy. Shelvey - 6 Did well to contain the central threat and distribution was ok Willock - 6 Quiet both ends but won some important fouls to relieve pressure. ASM - 4 Offered a little threat going forward but when Manquilo came off, Cash wasn't afraid to go forward and he NEVER tracked back. Threw his arms in the air complaining a lot rather than getting on with the game. Some days its not his day but he can't shirk his defensive responsibilities - all of Villa's threat second half came from both flanks. Wood - 6 A couple of half chances, won a lot of aerial duels which went to no one but provided an escape route to relieve the pressure sometimes. Fraser - 7 Most lively of the front three and helped back as much as possible. Look a threat, just final ball could be better. Krafth - 6 Did well overall but lucky boy to not play Watkins onside. Offered little going forward because Digne pinned him back which invited a lot of pressure down our right. Dummett - 6 Defensively ok but never went forward which meant Cash had less to worry about and as game grew we looked vulnerable from the flanks. Howe - 7 We won so he gets a 7 but after 60mins when they had a goal disallowed he should have changed things up, I know we had used 2 subs but we were just inviting pressure. We were lucky that Villa got worse with Ings/Bailey vs Watkins/Buendina. The time wasting and breaking up the play helped us a lot. Overall a good win set up by a solid defensive display in the second half. Targett back will be a huge plus but we really need Trippier fit as well.

Weird take that, it was around the disallowed goal when Howe changed to a back three as before that we where being overrun in the middle of the park, and I know everyone was nervous, but despite the pressure they where trying to apply, Dubravka didn't have a thing to do from that point on. Thought it was good in game management to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Just back in , great team performance 2 evenly matched sides , gave Villa to much respect prior to kick off and we thoroughly deserved the win . I thought JL was magnificent, his work rate phenomenal. Willock getting better with Fraser too Burn was a colossus I can’t fault any of them , effort is a million times better under EH , you can visibly see the difference in Shelvey , Willock, Fraser and co . A win I didn’t really have faith in but what a great battling display . Not a single chance we are going down.

gazza ladra Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) No, me neither. [re GWN's response to Phx's ratings] I thought Joelinton was immense. A quick perusal.. Villa fans hate him. Everybody we play; their fans hate him. He's doing a job. Edited February 13, 2022 by gazza ladra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was good in game management to be honest. Depends how you see it. Was it Villa playing awful or EH making them play awful or a bit of both? They were still getting in down both flanks but they were adamant with crossing it into the box (rather than working it in) and we had 6ft7 Dan Burn to mop up. I felt we were lucky that Bailey looked undercooked and neither full back drove into the box and instead opted to cross it from deep. If Villa had exploited Cash overload the numerous time ASM didn't track back they could have been in. The breaks in play hindered them a lot but the fact Howe didn't block their main threats, it wouldn't have surprised me if a ball got in and it fell for them. It wasn't a game where Villa "deserved" something but it was one where they could have got something had they been better in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing happened inthe Everton game. They went stupid all of a sudden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
