What a perfect midfield Howe has structured, onwards and upwards.

 

Loved the way all three combined to create the opener.

 

They look a great combination of skills and abilities. It's an incredible balance.

 

Going to keep getting better the more they play together too.

Bruno being Futher up is deadly he both sees and has the balls to play those forwards passes instead of backwards and sideways.

Hall brilliant. Tonali class. Jer Jer. Schar imperious.  Unflustered really, that was just my shot away to buggery nerves.

Outrageous record at home to these continues. Two defeats since 89 and neither with eleven men.

Forguson will be effing and blinding and mumbling about how great Villa are into crate of Sherry.

Placated and abundant libations. Cracking stuffs.

Tonali such an intelligent passer 

[pubteam]

Thank fuck we've worked out how to play against 10 men, tonali absolutely bossing the midfield definitely had something to do with it.

[Yorkie]

Disallowing that Bruno goal, man.  VAR such a great addition to the sport.

[pedro111]

Purely belter.

[andycap]

Like pep said you can't play newcastle in an open game as we'd muller them. So he used to tinker and find away of starving us of the ball.

Yup, we now have two very gifted passers in midfield, and one of them will eventually find an opening.

Tonali played brilliantly. There were a couple of moments where he looked a level or two above everyone else. A bit towards the end where he held possession in our third, spinning and bumping two Villa players away from him before releasing a simple pass just looked so effortless. Similar to when Bruno started playing for us and I couldn't believe he was a Newcastle player.

Excellent win that.

I was really worried about that game as well, Villa are a good team, and have just hit form again.

I think the red card was soft, in fact I don’t think it was one at all, and from that, everything just fell into our lap.

Stood on his leg and back deliberately after the ball had gone in what way was it soft?

[r0cafella]

Eddie has Emery's card too btw. He knows they want to play through the two pivots so he has Bruno and Joelinton absolutely bully them. Made villa look like a side bound for the championship.

VillaWatch still knocking about?

[Lush Vlad]

Obviously it helped them being down to 10 for so long. But we were still creating before that and defending pretty well. 
 

Positive that we were creating so many chances still. Found loads of different ways to break them down. Just a shame that through a bit of bad luck, decision making, poor finishing etc. That we didn’t score more.
 

I’m not really complaining. It was a proper, professional performance. No idea on MOTM. Schar was very good, I thought.

 

 

[Skeletor]

We have always struggled against teams sitting with a low block. So Emery's big brain idea is to play a high line against us every time.

Credit to Howe for changing it, but how long have people been saying Bruno should be played in the No.8?

[MagMal]

Get 4 points in the next 2 games and January fixtures on paper are all winnable, come the start of February we could be in a really strong position.

Am I really bias, as I just looked on Reddit and everyone seems to be saying it was a really harsh red card, whereas I think it was a blatant
