Pokerprince2004 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Could see all the pundits nodding along when he said he watched Newcastle v Villa. They definitely all thought he was going to say we impressed him. Bit awkward when he says Villa, agree with above without sounding nasty he didn't seem all there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Interesting. We certainly weren't played off the park, but it was a much more even game than the scoreline would suggest, and Eddie has acknowledged that. Having said that, I've seen similar games where it's been even for long stretches or we've been under the cosh, and then we've run away with it. It's no fluke. Eddie is always very sound and pro-active when it comes to tactics, and gets the players to a high level of fitness, but there's something else at work. He instils his players with belief and spirit, which doesn't falter through the ups and downs of a game. We grew as the game went on. Villa crumbled.

If Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal or Man United were in an 'even game' that was end to end and won 5-1, everyone would be raving about how clinical they were and be discussing how their ruthlessness is the hallmark of a good team.

It was even for about an hour during which we created more. The last half hour there was one team in it and they were lucky to lose by only 4 by the end of it.

The College Dropout Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I’ve got a lot of respect for Ferguson but we were not played off the park at all. I do think it was a very even game until the last 20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 We were the better team throughout. They created a couple of chances but we were clearly on top. Even if Cash had scored we would have still gone and won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. Same bullshit with the Spurs demolition last season. All about their poor performance, then raving about Man City when Arsenal didn’t turn up against them. Just sit back and enjoy the squirm which is to come as we continue to improve. There will come a point when the narrative changes and they jump on the bandwagon.

Hanshithispantz Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) That's some take like I like how the Mings injury gets used as the catalyst, despite us scoring 2 goals whist he was on the pitch, Tonali & Gordon cutting them to shreds for a 1-on-1 we missed, and Mings himself being injured after Isak turned him inside out. They had a patch in the first half where they looked in the game attack wise, but other than that they were atrocious. They'll probably not be that bad again.

The College Dropout Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 After Mings got injured it was 1-way traffic and we could’ve scored 6 or 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Don’t agree with Ferguson but I get the basis of the point he was making. I wouldn’t go as far as he did. Villa looked decent to me until they capitulated playing the high line in the second half. I wouldn’t be concerned if I was a Villa fan. The score line was fair though. Fergie is delusional, it could have been more. Edited August 15, 2023 by St1pe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Their tactical changes made them worse as well. Of course Torres was enforced but moving Diaby inside and bringing on Tielemans was disastrous. They just didn't have any solutions for what we were doing.
