ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 3 December 2005

  • Villa draw with struggling Newcastle as the hangover from a poor League season to date and David O'Leary's Doncaster embarrassment continues to play out.

  • Villa, unbeaten in their last 3 League games, now have just 4 wins in twenty 20, with 10 losses and 6 draws under David O'Leary. 

  • Villa have now taken 18 points from a possible 60. 

  • Yet what was more worrying than the relegation form the team was showing under O'Leary was the manager's abject delusion about the true nature of his performance and his continued refusal to have any responsibility or accountability for his failings.

MATCH QUOTES

"I was hurt and humiliated by it. I'm still hurt and I can't wait for the next game. "I want to be able to come in at the end of the game and say they've rolled their sleeves up and given 110% for the club and for themselves. "The buck stops with me.” David O’Leary seems to take responsibility for the Doncaster debacle…. ”I pick the team and I train the players and they didn't perform on the night. I said to them afterwards: 'I am here to try and turn this club around and to try and win things. None of you have won anything. I have won loads and I want to win more. I couldn't believe your lack of hunger on the night, particularly as none of you have won anything.” But in typical O’Leary fashion it was actually nothing to do with him… and anyway… “If I was to leave tomorrow the club is in a better position than when I came here 2½ years ago.” Villa are 15th in the table. Villa were 16th in the table. Small steps. “We should have had all three points, but I have to praise the players and how they played. “A few people jumped on us very quickly after the Doncaster defeat but we had won our last two league games. “We got back to the way we were playing before the Doncaster game.” David O’Leary on the good life he had delivered pre-Doncaster. "The players let themselves down at Doncaster. ”I knew I would get a response from them against Newcastle and they gave us that response.." David O’Leary throws his players rather than himself under the bus. "I think I am doing a good job at Villa and I will continue to try and do that. Have I felt under pressure personally? No. "It is the critics that drum that sort of thing up and that's what comes with the job. Was some of the reaction after the Doncaster game an over-reaction? I thought some of it was disgraceful - but the only way to shut them up is to to do what they [the players] did at Newcastle. "You would have loved for the players to have done more to shut them up even more, but it comes with the job we are in now. You've got to accept it, you've got to take it and try and deflect most of it over your head and just move on. You must not let the personal stuff that they come out with when you are doing badly affect you. You must move on and don't listen and believe in that rubbish and try and concentrate on what you are trying to do." David O’Leary. “I’ll be brave enough to take the next one [penalty] but I'll have a chat with my team-mates before making that decision. “I feel I've had a good record with penalties over the years but maybe this is an opportunity to give somebody else a go. "That might be the right thing to do. I feel down because had I scored, it would have topped off a great day for the team. If I had put that away it would have been game over. I'm very disappointed and I have apologised to the lads." Gareth Barry.

MATCH REPORTS

Opens in New Window

*BBC Sport*
Saturday, 3 December 2005

Under-fire Newcastle boss Graeme Souness watched Aston Villa miss a late penalty, but nonetheless left the pitch to boos from the home faithful. Gareth Barry sent his spot-kick high over the bar following Titus Bramble’s clumsy challenge on Milan Baros. Alan Shearer put Newcastle ahead from the spot after Liam Ridgewell’s handball and also hit the bar. But in a scrappy game, Villa equalised with 15 minutes left through McCann’s low drive before Barry’s aberration. However, with the home fans disgruntled, the pressure on Souness has eased only slightly. He responded to Wednesday’s Carling Cup humiliation against Wigan by relegating Lee Bowyer and Albert Luque to the bench. Michael Chopra, who has been in sparkling form for the reserves, got his chance up front and Amdy Faye came into midfield. Villa boss David O’Leary also came into the match under pressure following his side’s embarrassing Cup exit to Doncaster and the atmosphere was understandably tense among both sets of fans. Those nerves quickly spread to the players. Passed were misplaced, tackles were poorly timed, and it took 27 minutes for either side to fashion a chance, Shola Ameobi jinking past two defenders but bending his right-foot shot wide. Five minutes later, Newcastle were ahead as the unfortunate Ridgewell inexplicably blocked Scott Parker’s shot with his arm to concede a penalty for the fourth time in five games. Shearer stepped up to move within two goals of Jackie Milburn’s record of 200 goals for the Magpies. Villa came close to equalising moments later when Hendrie sent a blistering free-kick inches wide and he thought he should have had a penalty shortly before half-time. Baros escaped down the right and cut the ball back to the midfielder, who was booked for throwing himself to the ground under a challenge from Jean-Alain Boumsong. But while Villa undoubtedly worked hard, it was Newcastle who were marginally the more threatening going forward. Ridgewell misjudged a Shay Given clearance and Shearer pounced, sending a sweetly-timed volley crashing onto the crossbar. Villa responded with their first corner - after over an hour’s play. It was only half-cleared and Given was forced into an athletic save from Gareth Barry’s hooked shot. But as things began to look bleak for Villa, Barry found Hendrie in space and he pulled the ball back for McCann to drive home. And the match almost turned completely when Bramble, so often prone to lapses in concentration, bundled over Baros. If Souness manages to survive this period of intense speculation surrounding his future at St James’ Park, he will probably have Barry’s disastrous spot-kick to thank. *Aston Villa boss David O’Leary:* “We should have had all three points, but I have to praise the players and how they played. “A few people jumped on us very quickly after the Doncaster defeat but we had won our last two league games. “We let ourselves down but we got back to the way we were playing before the Doncaster game.”
