Heron Posted Saturday at 19:27 Share Posted Saturday at 19:27 Got our tactics a bit wrong and started off on the wrong foot performance wise. Somehow managed to keep a foothold in the game through their inability to make the most of their opportunities which then clicked second half and they subsequently battered us. Was always a risk here for me. Disappointed but not shocked. Gotta put Ipswich to bed next week and then hopefully one or two results go our way to ease the pressure.

There were no suggestions to play Longstaff before the game- you know we've played the same team for 6 or 7 games in a row now, how can you have no idea about us potentially being knackered as if it was common sense that we should have rotated? Anyone suggesting we should have played Longstaff today is completely out of their mind In hindsight I would have played Longstaff instead of Bruno. Actually I would have played a tent instead of Bruno today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted Saturday at 19:32 Share Posted Saturday at 19:32 Our best bet against Villa is always to attack their high line on the break, conceding after 40 seconds pretty much blew any plan to do that out of the window, our midfield balance looked so off today which is not what you need in a game against a strong opposition.

Adrian1881 Posted Saturday at 19:32 Share Posted Saturday at 19:32 Villa was so much better than us - sadly they deserved to win. We had our chances but lately Isak just doesn't score as much as he should. Anyways it's amazing that we are so close to reach ECL.... We haven't spent any $ for ages...Luckily for us, our main squad didn't deal with many injuries. We took a big risk to not spend any money. Imagine if Isak, Bruno, Tonali got injured...Let's move on to the next ones :). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted Saturday at 19:33 Share Posted Saturday at 19:33 Not going to criticise Tindall at all for sticking with the same side, we've looked fucking sensational over the last few weeks and he's brought off players so they're not doing 90+ each game either. Winning the games has been the only thing that's mattered recently and to do that you pick your best players as often as you can, it's not like we've got great options off the bench, we've pretty much gone full strength from the off and won the vast majority. Easy to be hyper-critical after the event Today was just a shocker and we lost away to a very, very good team. It's still all in our hands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Miley, Krafth, Gordon, Willock and Longstaff on the bench. All are more than capable of putting performances in in the league. The former 3 are genuinely good players I'd trust in any game and no indication they're out if form. Longstaff and Willock have their moments. I'm not saying we should have started either of them, I'm pointing out that our bench isn't full of literal dross like us being made out. 9 minutes ago, joeyt said: It's easy to say "oh we should have rotated" after a loss but there was no mention of that before the game and you're completely overrating the players we do have on our bench Are you on cowwies?

Jonas Posted Saturday at 19:33 Share Posted Saturday at 19:33 Were having to play the same defence every game because of injuries mind and three of them are past 30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted Saturday at 19:38 Share Posted Saturday at 19:38 Just thinking about todays match again, and reminded me a lot of the Bournemouth game at home, and not just the scoreline. Came up against a team that seemed more up for it, and quicker and better than us generally on the day. Hopefully just the run of games taking a toll on us, and a reset against Ipswich will see us back on track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted Saturday at 19:41 Share Posted Saturday at 19:41 Had a feeling we’d lose and put in a poor display when I seen we were unchanged. That’s not knocking Tindall, as Gordon aside there isn’t really anyone obvious to bring in. Shite day but win next week and it’ll be forgotten. CL is in our hands.

Longstaff over any of our midfield 3 is obviously a massive downgrade, don't think I've ever suggested otherwise. To try and get to the bottom of this, did you think we looked tired today, and were suffering from fatigue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
