Miguel Almiron the only bright spot in another Newcastle United debacle – Miles Starforth's player ratings from Aston Villa loss
No fight, no quality, no passion, no idea. Aston Villa were in cruise control from minute one, but you could say that about any of the sides who have faced United in December and January this season.
Collectively it was far from good enough but what about individual performances? Here’s Miles Starforth’s player ratings from the predictable Premier League loss.
