What this game needs is to take off one of Adams or Armstrong and bring on Elyounoussi.

On the evidence of this we'd need to drop a couple of divisions.

It's like every single player is playing on their own with no support. Whenever one of them gets the ball there is nothing on.

Ok. He set up to invite pressure and maybe nick something. But nicking something is no longer enough. There is no upside in continuing with this pattern of play. We cannot get the ball or keep the ball and it's just wave after wave of attacks.

"And the Longstaff family as delighted as everyone here in the Sky commentary box"

Let's be fair. Everyone loves these underdog stories where a small hometown club pulls themeslves up by their bootlaces and challenges the elite. Newcastle deserve every plaudit they get for their journey.

I do not believe that is a strong enough word.

This could be the day I cancel my Sky subscription. Already grimacing at the coverage and the first whistle hasn't gone yet.

We've really set up to put one of the goals under siege. Sadly, our own.

We've managed to stumble on that rarest of things. A non-confidence building win.

Well, Newcastle will know they're in for a game on Tuesday if they just watched that.

We'll this out. We almost never concede from a set piece.

Oh bugger. It's back in time for the equaliser

The only saving grace is that I just lost my stream so I don't have to watch it.

I would say we're making certain of the win, but recent history does not back that assertion up.

Let's get Ballard on now. Give the lad some minutes.

And the last thing we want to do with our porous defence is give away cheap possession.

Why can't we pass?

Jones should print copies of this and put a copy with every player's kit before the game

I'm sure they had a plan. Whether it was a good plan is another question.

Broja was my first thought on watching that video too

4-0. A second for Jimmy Jay. We have such a good crop of youngsters - it would be heartbreaking if there's no pathway for them into the first team.

Never go back. Players towards the end of their careers going back to a former club never seems to end well. I don't think Ings returning would be Cristiano Ronaldo bad but I don't see there being a deal which works for everyone here. He was a great servant for the club while we had him and we got a decent wodge of cash. Suspect Villa would ask more than we're willing to pay as would the man himself and that's before concerns over his ability to manage his body as he gets older.

Villa are beatable. They managed to win against Leeds while being played off the park. It's another one of those winnable games we've come to fear as Saints fans. Just remember how abject we were in the reverse fixture and would love to see us make amends and make that chink of light a little brighter. Downside is Coutinho is out of form and loves playing against us.
