SUPERTOON Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Shame maxi isn’t fit, would fancy him against Young at RB. Gordon would be a good option against him as well, but don’t see Howe starting him after the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Quote I'd love for practically any other club to take Newcastle's position tbh. They've cemented themselves as the most despicable club in football under the new regime. I'd hate to be a Newcastle fan right now, and if I was I'd probably give up on football if I'm being honest. The most despicable club in football It is awful supporting us at the minute though, I’m not sure how I cope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Aye, I was all in when Mike Ashley was the owner, loved those days but I’ve basically given up on the club now. What’s the point eh? We’re despicable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Just a bit of schadenfreude, innit. Also interesting to see how football fans outside our little echo chamber here view us as a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 After the Brentford Game i would love to see Isak Wilson Gordon as a front three. Two Joe,s in midfield with Bruno. He has to try it sometime why not now with Maxi and Miggy out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We continue on as normal. It's what has got us where we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much because I don't think Eddie has confidence in either of them to last the90mins with the intensity he wants with no fresh legs to bring off the bench to replace either of them with.

pinkeye Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 The self belief from fans of Aston Villa that their club is somehow special or one that no player could possibly turn down the chance to play for is staggering. Every fan of every club holds their own club in high regard, no doubt but, Villa fans are a step beyond that.... I have no idea why they seem to hate us so much either, personally I see them as a complete nothing club, going nowhere with mid to upper mid table their glass ceiling but, extremely low risk of relegation. They mean nothing to any other football fan... some fans (even on here) have soft spots for other clubs and look out for the results and so on. I would be hugely surprised if anyone puts Villa into that category. For the comments I read from their lot recently and further back I would take a huge amount of satisfaction to hammer these by 4 or 5 goals. While that is unlikely I would still enjoy a win of any kind and feel that with our current form we have a good chance.... We have seen that Eddie has his "Blue Print" for how he wants to play but, also have evidence now that he can (and will) change that when he feels it is appropriate or necessary. He must have seen Dan Burn getting ran ragged recently, other teams will see what we see and focus their attacks down their right hand side to exploit the lack of pace and mobility from big Dan. At some point I can see Targett being brought in to replace him, it will be a pity because Burn is likeable and has done a great job but, seems to have been found out by all our opponents which makes it time to make a change.

Re Burn. Wingers have got passed him but rarely regularly. I can't remember anyone given him a turning over like Harrison gave Trippier in the first half down there last season. He looks awkward and cumbersome but in general he stops his opponent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Be amazed if Gordon starts after his reaction to coming off on Saturday tbh. It is all a bit overblown and would have been sorted out easily on the day between them, but it would be pretty harsh dropping Murphy for someone who publicly went on like a tit to his boss.

I can't remember anyone given him a turning over like Harrison gave Trippier in the first half down there last season. He looks awkward and cumbersome but in general he stops his opponent Anthony twice gave him a hell of a hard time and then just last week Bowen got by several times. Maybe that is your exact point (fully agree with you) I agree with you, as well, that Burn does very well in a face to face challenge and also has a habit of taking the ball from an onrushing winger (with his long cumbersome legs :-) ) but, when they turn him or pass him at pace he is done. Don't get me wrong though, I think Burn is great and I am not criticizing him, although I guess I kind of am. I thought that Targett handled Bowen excellently when he came on vs West Ham the other week, it is just a slightly different approach and one that could be a surprise to teams we play against, when they expect to see Burn in left back but, we make a change!
