Two shots in home defeat
Nico Gonzalez recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 53rd minute.
Analysis: Nico Gonzalez was unable to find the target with two shots as Newcastle fell to a 1-0 home loss against Aston Villa. The midfielder has recorded just one assist this season but picked up his second yellow card of the season in this game. He took two shots in this game but hadn't taken a shot in any other match this season and conceded three fouls.
Rotational role in midfield
Gonzalez has been on the bench in each of the last five matches and appears to have settled into a rotational role in midfield.
Analysis: Gonzalez continues to operate as a depth option in midfield, offering physicality, composure and ball retention when called upon. However, his role has shifted since Rodri's return from injury, with Gonzalez now mainly featuring off the bench or in rotation rather than as a regular starter, having been on the bench in each of the last five matches while playing just 44 minutes. He has logged 32 appearances across all competitions this season, including 15 starts in the Premier League, recording one goal and limited attacking output while focusing primarily on his defensive duties.
