🕒 | HT Newcastle 1-0 Villa. A dreadful, dirty Newcastle team with no plan or pattern luck in against a Villa team playing football. This looks like one of those days already. Don’t expect it to be reported accurately anywhere but here mind you. As notable as Newcastle’s dirty non-tactics however is the standard of officiating, dreadful is being polite. Villa on the other hand look like a side who can play, want to play but can’t.
🕒 | FT Newcastle 4-0 Villa. Still in it after an hour, Newcastle dropped the aggression as they gained momentum, then hit Villa again and again. Ironically Villa did little wrong, just a game when it didn’t work. Until they were 3-0 to the good Newcastle had one route and nothing else, Villa by contrast were attacking down every channel. The outcome didn’t match the input. Never a 4-0 game, bizarrely this was still better than 95% of the performances under the previous manager. No need to panic - just avoid the sycophantic nonsense from the media for the next couple of days.

ON THIS DAY
A bad day at the office for Villa but nowhere near as bad as some under the previous manager, despite the scoreline. Villa taught Newcastle a footballing lesson in the first half, Newcastle taught Villa a lesson in capitalising on your luck in the second.

MATCHDAY QUOTES
“I’m not sure how you’re supposed to defend anymore.”
“The referee said that’s the rule but unless you’re putting your arms by your side, it’s not the right way to defend so you’ve got to defend in the way I did.”
Ashley Young
“The league is ruthless and can punish you when you are not having good moments. The penalty was right decision. We knew they would have a spell of momentum and they were ruthless. The scoreline looks big and it hurts, but that is what the league can do.
“Newcastle were intelligent in the way they positioned their players. There were little tactical moments that hurt us. You have to find ways of staying in games in those moments. Unfortunately the game went away from us.”
Aaron Danks.
*BBC Sport*
Saturday, 29 October 2022
Another scintillating attacking display capped a superb month for Newcastle, who took 16 points from a possible 18 in October.
Playing a Premier League game while starting the day in the top four of the table for the first time since April 2012, Howe’s side underlined their status as contenders for a Champions League spot by stretching their unbeaten run to eight games.
While a stop-start first half did not aid Newcastle’s fluency, the hosts upped the tempo towards the end, with Wilson beating Olsen from 12 yards to open the scoring after Ashley Young used his arm to block an Almiron effort.
“I’m not sure how you’re supposed to defend anymore,” said Young.
“The referee said that’s the rule but unless you’re putting your arms by your side, it’s not the right way to defend so you’ve got to defend in the way I did.”
Wilson had a second goal ruled out for offside before the break, but doubled Newcastle’s lead when he nodded a Kieran Trippier cross in from close range.
Joelinton scored his first goal of the season, pouncing on the rebound after Olsen had denied Wilson his hat-trick and Almiron capped a fine Newcastle display, scoring for the third game running when he brilliantly curled a shot into the net.
Newcastle continued to push for goals but Wilson and substitute Jacob Murphy were denied by the woodwork as the hosts were made to settle for four.
Martinez kept on, then taken off after blow to the head
While Villa fans will be frustrated by their side’s inability to build on last week’s emphatic win over Brentford, there will be concerns over Martinez, who was withdrawn in the 35th minute.
There was a five-minute stoppage as Martinez received treatment with Mings having inadvertently struck the Argentine’s head with his knee after the goalkeeper had saved a Joelinton shot.
Having been assessed by Villa’s medical staff, Martinez remained on the pitch. However, after being called into action to collect a cross 10 minutes later, the former Arsenal stopper stayed down and put his hands to his head.
Following further assessment, a disconsolate Martinez was taken off with Olsen introduced for his first Villa appearance since the final day of last season.
It is one of a number of issues for new Villa boss Unai Emery to examine when he officially takes charge on Tuesday.
