While Aston Villa haven't won for coming up to 17 years at St James' Park, they disappointedly showed little appetite at the weekend to rectify such a poor record.After spending millions on players in recent transfer windows, you'd expect the assembled team to be able to make 10-yard passes, not constantly over-hit crosses, not give the ball away like it's a hot potato and know what they're doing when it comes to taking and defending set pieces. At times, it was embarrassing against Newcastle.While it's appreciated that Steven Gerrard will have growing pains building his team, the owners will no doubt be a little alarmed by the lacklustre nature of the performance.We discuss what went down at the Toon, as well as catch up on the latest Villa news and go through the latest Three Point happenings in the world of football.UTVGet a free share on MOMSThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is brought to you by Freetrade, the commission-free investing app that helps you build your long-term wealth.
