Stop fucking around Villa and get a win tonight
-
No Sanson
-
Looks pretty positive..?
-
No Sanson
Yikes, he's got to be on Dean's shitlist for him to opt for a bunch of kids instead.
-
Come on Villa, get 3 points.
-
Luiz injured?
-
Luiz injured?
I thought it was COVID?
-
No sanson again are you bloody kidding me??
-
4 2 3 1 ?
-
I like that team. Would have had Jacob Ramsey in but not sure if he's fully fit.
-
Very worried about that weak as piss midfield.
-
I mean we talk about squad depth apparently but 5 of the subs are kids
It shows we dont have squad depth at all
-
That's got to be the weakest bench in the Premier league
-
Midfield looks very light.
-
Really hope they turn it around, but 90% of Smith sides without Jack have been pretty shite to be honest, so can't see it personally. Firmly in the 'Smith Out' camp if we get another shit show tonight.
Much like Smith-Rowe the other week, I'm predicting the 'Ward-Prowse' show tonight - "Here's what you could have won". *Also feel really sorry for Kourtney - He's rarely put a foot wrong when called upon, yet is dropped again in the blink of an eye.
-
4 2 3 1 ?
Must be with Buendia playing central behind Ollie…or he’s gone 433 with Buendia ahead of Cash.
-
I mean we talk about squad depth apparently but 5 of the subs are kids
Decent players.
-
I hope he hasn't put Sanson in the naughty bin we can't afford that.
-
So DS declared Sanson fit for tonight. And the result? Not even on the bloody bench! Meanwhile out-of-form Targett and Buendia get picked yet again....
-
I mean we talk about squad depth apparently but 5 of the subs are kids
It shows we dont have squad depth at all
We are missing Konsa, Trez, Ings, Traore, Sansom.
-
That midfield is diabolically weak, 4-0 to them.
-
I mean we talk about squad depth apparently but 5 of the subs are kids
It shows we dont have squad depth at all
We are missing Konsa, Trez, Ings, Traore, Sansom.
And Luiz
-
He never said Sanson was fit. Back in training...
I'm concerned about the strength of midfield, however, in Buendia and AEG we have players who track back. Looks like a 4-2-1-3 to me.
Go for it.
-

-
Sanson won't play for us again. That much is obvious and I thought Hause was OK last week. But what do I know, I'm no McPhee?
Booooooot. Hit it! Knock it long. Get rid. Long throw lads, slow it down. Be more aggressive. Set pieces are key.
God, I hope I'm wrong tonight.
-
Sanson ….the next Veretout
-
He never said Sanson was fit. Back in training...

Go for it.
He said was in training but wasn't sure if he was fit enough to start. To not have him on the bench is ridiculous. Oh well, will hopefully be somebody else picking the team next match.
-
Unless he's a total c-word behind the scenes, the refusal to include Sanson is ludicrous.
-
Win please - midfield looks weak.
-
I hope he hasn't put Sanson in the naughty bin we can't afford that.
Completely agree - hopefully this is not the case because the guy hasn't even been at the club for a year yet. We cannot afford petty grievances at this point.
-

He said, "Morgan Sanson being available is a positive for us". I'm not sure how.
-
"The Southampton goalscorer, number eight..."
-
IF he’s fit and IF there’s been a fallout, then it would be pretty clear that he doesn’t trust Sanson in what could be a must win game for Smith.
-
The bench is very youthful.
Too young?
Jed Steer 29
Kortney Hause 26
Ashley Young 36
Carney 18
Jacob Ramsey 20
Aaron Ramsey 18
Philogene Bidace 19
Keinan Davis 23
-
It seems to me that Smith just does not like Sanson pretty much in the same way he does not like Gulibert who seems to be doing ok on loan again
-
DS picking his El Ghazi wildcard, interesting. Really the Southampton team isn't that good so I'd like to think we have two goals in us and hopefully that will be good enough for at least a point.
Sanson not making the bench is very very odd given what was said yesterday. Really hope it isn't a case of he was told yesterday he wasn't starting and threw another strop. Perhaps he picked up something in last training session.

We always lose down there (last season apart). That said their team isn’t massively full of big names.
-
I worry about Sean Long off the bench. He seems to have a knack of scoring against us.
-
I worry about Sean Long off the bench. He seems to have a knack of scoring against us.
As does Shane Long.
-
Looking on the bright side at least Ings won't be scoring his usual goal against us
-
I am about to trudge to my laptop with little optimism.
-
Gah, the dreaded 4-2-3-1 :(
-
I worry about Sean Long off the bench. He seems to have a knack of scoring against us.
As does Shane Long.
Cheers. I knew it didn't look right ::).
-
Buendia again not in the position where he had his success. Nakamba, McGinn and Buendia in the middle is just too weak defensively. Fortunately I don't think their team looks great but I still feel like we are probably going to concede 2. Fuck knows, hopefully completely wrong or if I'm not that we've scored 5.
-
Not convinced about that team - would rather not see Beudia as 10 - and would rather have had Chuck in the midfield and Beudia right and no AEG
Hope I’m wrong - but feels like he may be going out with a whimper.
My early morning positively is wearing a bit thin
-
I mean I selected the team for him earlier - it’s like he doesn’t even read this Forum
-
I worry about Sean Long off the bench. He seems to have a knack of scoring against us.
As does Shane Long.
Cheers. I knew it didn't look right ::).
I immediately had Google to make sure after I'd posted to check that my smartarsery hadn't made me look like a dick!
-
Dreadful line up.
But I reckon it will be a good open game.
4.4.
-
I suspect Sanson has played his last game for Smith, file under Engels and Guilbert.
I can understand why AEG has come in on the left wing, he can only provide more defensive cover than Bailey's non existent efforts last time out.
I can also understand the Tuanzebe/Mings decision. But unfortunately it makes Deano look indecisive. Hause at RCB was never an option for me but he might think he did enough at LCB to keep the shirt. In any case it's a return of our promotion CB pairing.
Options might be limited but I have no faith in a Nakamba/McGinn midfield two at this level. Mings direct to Watkins is going to be our primary option all night. If Jacob Ramsey is fit enough for the bench he should have started for me.
-
Romeu and SWP look a stronger pairing than our 2.
-
Where's Traore and Sanson? Are they not fit?
-
Where's Traore and Sanson? Are they not fit?
Traore (hamstring)
Sanson (finger)
-
Andy Madley the ref tonight another who seems to go out of his way to give Bad decisions
-
Romeu and SWP look a stronger pairing than our 2.
Hasn't he retired?!
-
We have spent all that money and yet still don't look particularly great. I hope they ram those words back down my laptop but our midfield is so physically weak. I hope this is one of El Ghazi's better games. Buendia should be the spare man in midfield and needs to find the space and time to steal goals for us.
-
The Sanson situation really hacks me off. It is unbelievable how little he has played given the price and how highly he was rated.
-
Is that a p take for Sanson or did DS genuinely say he was missing due to that?!
-
Where's Traore and Sanson? Are they not fit?
Traore (hamstring)
Sanson (eyelash)
Fixed that for you Risso.
-
Where's Traore and Sanson? Are they not fit?
Traore (hamstring)
Sanson (finger)
Ha ha
-
Romeu and SWP look a stronger pairing than our 2.
Hasn't he retired?!
For some reason in my head I've decided his name is shane and i'm sticking with it. 8)
-
Praying to the Dark Gods that today will be Southampton's obligatory once per season 0-9.
-
Those expecting Sanson. LOL.
Was never gonna happen
-
Perhaps he’s told Sanson he was on the bench & he’s told him to go f… himself.
-
They look up for it tonight.
Come on me babbies!!!!
-
Armstrong 1 goal in 24 prem appearances. What's the betting???
-
4-2-3-1
Buendia at 10.
Urgh.
-
4-2-3-1
Buendia at 10.
Urgh.
I’d have played him on the right of the 3, where he played for Norwich and bring Ramsey in.
-
The Last Post? Didn't there just used to be a minute's silence?
-
What's the record for head tennis?
-
oh shit
-
Armstrong 1 goal in 24 prem appearances. What's the betting???
Oh dear
-
FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where are the fucking markers?
-
The Last Post? Didn't there just used to be a minute's silence?
It's for Dean.
-
Armstrong 1 goal in 24 prem appearances. What's the betting???
Well said
-
Ended his goal drought in 2 minutes!!
-
The Last Post? Didn't there just used to be a minute's silence?
Smith might be getting one of them.
Jesus
-
Sigh.
-
LOLLOL
-
Wow. What a fucking start.
-
Smith out
-
Armstrong 1 goal in 24 prem appearances. What's the betting???
Oh dear
We need to change our name to Benevolent Villa. Happens sooooo often.
-
Letting the ball bounce. Sigh.
-
Bye Dean
-
Dean looked at his watch after that. Yes. 88 minutes of employment left.
-
Smith out
Because that was his fault
-
Wow..
-
Just a joke at this point.
-
Unlucky goal.
Just fell for him.
-
We really are fucking dreadful.
-
It's going to be a long, long night...
-
FFS. 🤬🤬🤬
-
Unlucky goal.
They all are when it comes to us…
-
FFS if this ends with a loss goodbye Dean
-
When things are not going your way...
-
Who knows how many we’re going to concede tonight.
-
Beautiful hit tbf.
-
That didn't take long!
LOL.
-
Look at the gormless look on Smith’s face. Clueless.
-
We really are fucking dreadful.
Only been 4 mins
-
Armstrong has been on a goal drought.....best team to play against to end it??
-
Smith out
Because that was his fault
Yes just like the last four results.
Smiths villa is weak and soft. No confidence. He has to go
-
Okay I was wrong. We might need 6.
-
This after their manager said he wasn’t worried they don’t score goals. What he likely said under his breath was “it’s ok we have Villa next”
-
Jesus. What the fuck have they been doing all week.
-
We really are fucking dreadful.
Only been 4 mins
It’s been 4 games
-
Jesus. What the fuck have they been doing all week.
Its not smiths fault apparently
-
Ladies and gentlemen - welcome to the unofficial potential relegation thread.
-
Decent move.
-
Good effort from McGinn.
-
I mean our boys could try that all night and none of them would hit it in, while this goal-shy disappointment manages it after 2 minutes. When it's against you it's against you.
-
N8ce unlucky buendia. Should have scored man
-
We really are fucking dreadful.
Only been 4 mins
And the last 4 games?
-
Smith out. Fed up with this bullshit
-
Jesus. What the fuck have they been doing all week.
Its not smiths fault apparently
Nothing ever is.
-
Good work on and off the ball by Emi there.
-
This season is going well.
Sigh.
-
Next goal is fucking massive
-
Jesus. What the fuck have they been doing all week.
Its not smiths fault apparently
Nothing ever is.
He’s done.
Does Shane Long still play for these?
-
We really are fucking dreadful.
Only been 4 mins
It’s been 4 games
I know !! But 4 mins FFS even with one of those goals.
-
Tuanzebe, FFS. Dreadful player.
-
All over the place at the back.
-
Shocking
-
We are a mess
-
How much fucking space did he have
-
Should be 2 -0
Look at how terribly we defended that corner. Your telling me thats not on smith???
-
He is proper shit...a championship player at best.
-
what on earth.
-
No way is this staying 1-0
-
Never mind clean sheets, I’d be happy if Martinez made a save once in a while.
-
As usual, the middle of the pitch is a disaster zone. Nakamba should not be starting games. No way is he better than Chuk, for a start.
-
FFS Boris. Lock the country down for 3 months again.
-
This defence….bloody hell.
-
Never mind clean sheets, I’d be happy if Martinez made a save once in a while.
He’s turned into Shay Given
-
Jesus. What the fuck have they been doing all week.
Its not smiths fault apparently
Nothing ever is.
He’s done.
Does Shane Long still play for these?
On the bench, something to look forward to. ☹
-
All came from our none midfield bottling a challenge. Plus another snapshot Emi got nowhere near. When it rains.....
-
What a stupid fucking booking, whats wrong with the mentality!
-
Idiot El Ghazi.
-
Lovely booking by el ghazi there. Stupid and pointless
-
Good work El Ghazi. Nice early booking.
-
Only we could regress this much. From one of the best keepers and defences in the league to 2015 disaster all in a few months.
-
28% possession so far.
El Ghazi yellow.
-
Stupid, unprofessional yellow card for El Ghazi.
-
McGinn FFS. Totally useless sometimes.
-
Never mind clean sheets, I’d be happy if Martinez made a save once in a while.
It did come at speed but I agree he didn’t react.
-
We just stay consistently shit or get worse.
-
They're not playing for the manager.
-
When does Bailey arrive in Southampton?
-
It's the alamo
-
When does Bailey arrive in Southampton?
Too busy gobbing off from a shed in Jamaica
-
They're not playing for the manager.
This. ALL. DAY. LONG.
-
Let’s be honest, McGinn is complete shite.
-
It's looking like a relegation battle for sure.
Norwich are down but as for the rest...
-
Buendia appears to be playing alongside Ollie wtf
-
They're not playing for the manager.
This. ALL. DAY. LONG.
He’s lost them. It’s all over
-
Need to swap Buendia and Bailey, quickly
-
Let’s be honest, McGinn is complete shite.
He’s a mid table premier league player.
We need better along side him
-
Shocking so far.
-
Let’s be honest, McGinn is complete shite.
Messi in his prime would look crap in this midfield
-
When does Bailey arrive in Southampton?
He's just passed Frankley services I believe.
-
Why the fuck we didnt sack after that aack of ahit vs west ham ill never know. This was always on the cards.
-
24% possession now. Against Southampton.
-
When does Bailey arrive in Southampton?
He's just passed Frankley services I believe.
As long as he doesn’t go into Frankley itself. Shit. Hole
-
Let's put Young on 🙄
-
Buendia appears to be playing alongside Ollie wtf
Yep kooks like 442 and bailey wasted 20 yards too deep.
-
Is this Southampton or Bayern Munich?
-
Is this our bad half of the season?
-
Give me JPB over El Useless every day and twice on Friday!
-
Sanson must be injured, Buendia can be a stroppy little madam but he still gets picked.
-
Nothing in midfield. Look completely overrun (again).
-
Tuanzebe isn't fit to lace Konsa's boots.
Terry clearly being badly missed for organising it.
Overall this is woeful
-
Sanson must be injured, Buendia can be a stroppy little madam but he still gets picked.
Agreed.
-
We are a fucking shambles every time they get into our third of the pitch. Poland will be cancelling Matty Cash’s citizenship at this rate
-
El Useless
Oscar Wilde, is that you?
-
This is embarrassing.
-
It's everything we feared isn't it.
-
Being totally dominated by Southampton.
-
they are getting balls across the face of goal far too easily - clearly targeting bailey and cash down the right.
-
One strong tackle, one commanding header, something to get us going. But there is sod all out there, They are battering us.
-
Is this our bad half of the season?
Everything is fine. Dean said so.
-
Tuanzebe is shit, I have no idwa qhy he's getting games ahead of players we actually own.
-
Who the hell can tell me this isnt in smith?? The defending is league one standard. Thw passings poor. No shape or organisation. Its deam smith simple as that
-
The defence is a carcrash. No idea what is wrong with them.
-
We have no midfield.
It’s not fucking rocket science.
-
Tuanzebe is shit, I have no idwa qhy he's getting games ahead of players we actually own.
He really is absolute wank.
-
As is so often the case, for us it is a monumental task to get past the centre circle, let alone into their box. For them, one pass, two pass and it's already at our byline.
-
This is fucking shite
-
Embarrassing just embarrassing
-
We are a fucking shambles every time they get into our third of the pitch. Poland will be cancelling Matty Cash’s citizenship at this rate
Bailey barely breaking sweat in front of him is the problem, AEG already on a yellow on the other flank...shambles
-
Bailey needs to start putting a fucking shift in. For the 2nd week in a row, whatever side of the pitch he's on the opposition full back can race forward at will and double up on our full back.
-
Is Nakamba walking his dog?
-
I just don’t think we are very good or well coached. There is no shape or game plan.
Bailey is supposed to be quick, couldn’t even beat Romeu and has a terrible first touch. Elgahzi should be nowhere near the starting lineup. Midfield is getting overrun
-
This screams a team who has given up.
-
I refuse to believe that Terry did anything good for the defence, but even if he did - why don't they remember it?
-
What in the fuck has happened to Mings. Just hacking at everything
-
Hard to see how things can get much worse. This is almost as bad as Arsenal.
-
Get on the phone to fonseca of favre please Christian
-
Wonder if a Manager/Coach ever got the bullet at half-time?
-
I blame the kit
-
Is Nakamba walking his dog?
Just chasing balloons.
-
No urgency, no pressing as a team.
He's lost the dressing room.
-
Wonder if a Manager/Coach ever got the bullet at half-time?
I’m sure Abramovic has tried it
-
Absolute embarrassment. Outclassed by a mediocre team...
-
This is bad. Even the commentator can’t believe how shit we are.
-
Is Nakamba walking his dog?
I'd play the dog. At least they like chasing after balls.
-
I blame the kit
It is perplexing bad.
-
Is Nakamba walking his dog?
If the dog's name is Buendia, then yes, yes he is.
-
What in the fuck has happened to Mings. Just hacking at everything
Lack of confidence, in a team not playing well.
-
No urgency, no pressing as a team.
Buendia’s natural game
-
This is awful. Really really bad
Only cash seems to have turned up
-
I blame the kit
It’s going to be this years version of our yellow kit abomination from our relegation season
-
Mings isn’t in our top ten problems
-
Was optimistic that dean could turn this round. I was wrong. He is done and we look like relegation fodder and worse than the relegation squad. Piss poor.
-
So Buendia seems to be playing centrally again. Because that worked well before, didn't it?
-
No urgency, no pressing as a team.
He's lost the dressing room.
Have the fans lost them too?
-
I blame the kit
It is perplexing bad.
I agree, it's awful....and blue.
-
Once - just fucking ONCE I want to tape a Friday nighter and actually want to watch it on Saturday fucking morning.
-
No urgency, no pressing as a team.
Right what happened to the team that played at Chelsea and Man Utd?
-
Getting our pockets picked all over the pitch.
-
Hard to see how things can get much worse. This is almost as bad as Arsenal.
I think this is worse, we're only in this game because they can't take chances.
-
Ward Prowse absolutely bossing the game, just as Smith Rowe did. Can we bid for a player we want properly next time, rather than spending weeks making embarrassing bids that will never be accepted?
-
So Buendia seems to be playing centrally again. Because that worked well before, didn't it?
That’s what happens when your manager would appear to be a fucking idiot.
-
Get Bailey offf, no defence offered.
-
Buendia makes the right decision 1/10 times. It is baffling.
-
For someone who has been particularly shit all season, Buendia does a lot of pointing and telling others what they should be doing.
-
So Buendia seems to be playing centrally again. Because that worked well before, didn't it?
Shifting players round in the hope that something sticks. Bruce did it weekly in his last few games for us.
-
Take anwar off put Bailey on the left out Buendia on the right and get someone other than Young in midfield.
-
Buendia so weak
-
Get El Ghazi off before he's sent off.
-
Just weathering the storm.
You just wait for the second half.
-
Get El Ghazi off, now!
-
You fuckin idiot el ghazi. Get him off
-
So Buendia seems to be playing centrally again. Because that worked well before, didn't it?
Well it would be nice if he was actually playing….anywhere.
-
What a tackle from Ward-Prowse. Take note, useless Aston Villa midfield.
-
Fuck sake El Ghazi. Get the twat off.
-
El Ghazi you fucking pathetic twat
-
El Gashi FFS
-
How did we ever have the 3rd best defence?
-
AEG really is on thin ice. He’s acting a fucking twat. That’s a yellow again and he should be off.
-
Get el ghazi off for JPB
-
JPB please
-
Either he gets El Ghazi off now or we’ll be down to 10 very shortly.
-
Dean Smith’s job is on the line and he picks El Ghazi.
Enough. Bye
-
Why can he not see what everyone can? This is his total downfall all the time.
-
It’s ok Ashley will come on in midfield soon
-
What a tackle from Ward-Prowse. Take note, useless Aston Villa midfield.
Class. Buendia was on the charge
-
Fucking hell LOL. Anwar Tonev
-
He has to get AEG off or we will be a man down before half time. Fucking show that you atleast learned something from your gormless expression in the 1st half at Arsenal.
-
Get el ghazi off. Atrocious
-
Nice shot, El Ghazi. Useless.
-
Should be off for 2 yellows. Idiot.
-
Sorry but el Ghazi, off now
-
Take El Ghazi off Smith. You don’t have to wait until half time.
-
Dean Smith’s job is on the line and he picks El Ghazi.
Enough. Bye
That’s like asking Whelan to take a crucial penalty
-
Jesus we look absolutely fucked. How as it come to this?
-
Christ, they've sent a note onto the pitch. Fucking children's football.
-
Take off both AEG and Bailey...AEG actually looks a threat but is being an idiot
-
Pieces of paper…..ffs
-
Getting AEG off is an obvious piece of game management. Not Deans strong point.
-
gazi and buneida are linking up well.
-
AEG should never have started before our kids.
-
Get El Ghazi off!.... we'll be down to ten soon. Very lucky with that last challenge to stay on the pitch.
-
Fucking NOTES now, is it?
-
Pieces of paper…..ffs
Letter of resignation?
-
That note said ‘try and do a goal’
-
We should have just shut up and paid the money for JWP
-
It’s been complete bollocks since John Terry and O’Kelly fucked off right before the season started.
-
We've got one winger who is desperate to get himself sent off and one who has absolutely zero interest in helping his team mates.
And now, to top it off, we see the defence passing a note between them telling them who they're meant to be marking.
It's a fucking shambles.
-
Corner coming up. Imagine we will score here.
-
Why can he not see what everyone can? This is his total downfall all the time.
Dean is watching fireworks in my back garden.
-
Throwing pieces of paper with instructions on to the pitch doesn’t strike me as a team well prepared for this match
-
Looking at secret notes to remind us how to defend corners, how pathetic 😂
-
The biggest problem with Smith:
“You can’t and won’t always win…but you could and should always learn.”
He never, ever learns.
-
It’s been complete bollocks since John Terry and O’Kelly fucked off right before the season started.
It’s been bollocks for most of 2021.
-
That note said ‘try and do a goal’
Tell Matty his hair looks nice.
-
Is it just me - but the last 5 games the other teams just seem far far far far fitter and faster than us. ?
-
Mings didn't want that tactics note getting into opposition hands. But all that is written on it is: Today's hoof duty: Matt Cash
-
I'm guessing it said "Sad Ken, 2.15 at Chepstow".
-
They are scared - paper says "Karen loves James"
-
El Ghazi is a fucking donkey..
-
Pathetic dog shit
-
They are scared - paper says "Karen loves James"
IDST
-
Fans are in good voice. I wonder what they're watching?
-
Yeah Romeu with a high boot that catches Nakamba, but of course nothing wrong with that. Opposition players are entitled to do that. We're not.
-
Making Southampton look like fucking Brazil. We look like a sack of potatoes
-
Che fucking Adams looking like Pele
-
Take it el ghazi put on Chuck - make a statement
-
Leg break pass from Tuanzebe
-
The way Southampton break its unbelievable with all the quality we have we cant show 10% of that attack
-
Che fucking Adams looking like Pele
like winning a trophy for SHA
-
Great save Emi
-
Tony Pulis will be turning in his grave at our set piece pastiche
-
Great save emi
Again so much space and time for jwp. This teams a joke
-
Nice save Emi
-
we don’t fancy this
-
If they don't sub El Ghazi, he will get sent off
-
Didn't take long to drag Leon Bailey down to our level.
-
I didn't think anyone would finish below Norwich but we look like giving a bloody good go
-
Embarrassingly bad.
I said before the game we need to look at the players body language, communication, team work and improved performance…we have none of those things. They all look miserable, don’t want to be out there and just going through the motions.
DS is a dead man walking.
-
Bailey offers nothing
-
Baileys looked shit tonight
-
Didn't take us long to break Leon Bailey did it?
-
That save is world class
-
Tony Pulis will be turning in his grave at our set piece pastiche
Even Pulis looking good about now.
-
Watch the players. There is just none of the energy and zip and enthusiasm from last season. We look fucked in every single way.
-
Didn't take long to drag Leon Bailey down to our level.
No it didn't. It's like Dean has shown him vids of N'Zogbia and said "This! This is how I want you to play"
-
Bailey oh dear
-
He just doesn't fancy it at all does he?
-
Romeu & JWP are excellent.
-
I compared Bailey to Bolasie earlier. Apologies Yannick, uncalled for.
-
Welm played axel
-
Watching this is fucking soul destroying
-
Thing is if you have good players and they all look rubbish it’s not hard to hazard a guess as to what the problem is.
-
Come on Villa
Come on Villa
Come on Villaaa!!
-
A bit behind here but shouldn't we have had a pen for that high boot?
-
I think AEG is trying to get sent off.
-
El Ghazi, embarrasing.
-
El Ghastly. Very very lucky
-
That’s a terrible dive from AEG
-
Dive from El Ghazi. Get him off, you muppet Smith.
-
Whenever Buendia does something good, a teammate fucks it up.
-
John McGinn is chasing shadows.
-
I must say that despite all the shite, mings has been excellent
-
Bailey looks like a shit Adama Traore at the moment.
And if Dean allows El Ghazi to get himself sent off he deserves the sack.
-
How hard do we work to look this shit? What has happened to us???
-
El Ghazi really winning the crowd over.
-
That dive could have got AEG sent off. Dumb.
-
Everyone's first touch is just awful
-
Why do we always get Andy Fucking Hinchcliffe the Villa hating twat
-
What's Dean doing?
-
Let’s be honest guys in the PL you cannot start a match with no midfield and expect to compete.
-
Why do we always get Andy Fucking Hinchcliffe the Villa hating twat
He really, really doesn't like us does he.
-
I just cannot believe that he started El Ghazi. He is so bad!!
-
Why do we always get Andy Fucking Hinchcliffe the Villa hating twat
[/quot
fucking like saints tv
-
Good tackle axel
-
It’s like watching an entertaining end to end mid table Championship game, absolute fucking garbage.
-
What's Dean doing?
Not a lot
-
What's Dean doing?
Writing love letters
-
How many subs can we have?
However many is legit, we need more.
-
Why do we always get Andy Fucking Hinchcliffe the Villa hating twat
It's unreal. As if what we see isn't bad enough.
-
Why do we always get Andy Fucking Hinchcliffe the Villa hating twat
He really, really doesn't like us does he.
The worst so far was when the Southampton player hacked Targett so he collided with Mings and he spent the next five minutes laughing at home clumsy the Villa players were.
-
El Ghazi really winning the crowd over.
Him and Nakamba are not PL players.
-
Why do we always get Andy Fucking Hinchcliffe the Villa hating twat
He really, really doesn't like us does he.
Neither do I.
-
Just back from fireworks.
Fucking hell. Not surprised. Disappointed naturally. But this is shite.
-
What's Dean doing?
Chewing his lip probably, with a gormless look on his face.
-
Why do we always get Andy Fucking Hinchcliffe the Villa hating twat
He really, really doesn't like us does he.
i don’t right now
-
how useless is Axel
-
I'm guessing it said "Sad Ken, 2.15 at Chepstow".
Nice.
"Back with Sad Ken now, and they've had to shoot him. Yes, Sad Ken has been shot- and so's the jockey."
-
El Ghazi is a red card waiting to happen
-
I'm guessing it said "Sad Ken, 2.15 at Chepstow".
"And they've shot the jockey as well"
-
What's Dean doing?
Hopefully writing a resignation note.
-
Imagine what ralph huss could do with our team.
A quality manager unlike dean
-
Our camp has got to be in disarray to be this shambolic for the past 5 games?
-
We need to get to half time one down but you know what’s going to happen
-
how useless is Axel
Think he has settled ok after a very nervy start.
-
So, dean won’t be the New England manager?
-
Bailey tracks back like Traore.
-
Shite everywhere across the park.
-
Cash looks well pissed off with Bailey.
-
Bailey tracks back like Traore.
This is our problem at the moment
-
John McGinn is chasing shadows.
Utterly anonymous
-
Cash and mings have been our best players. Everyone else has been terrible
Aeg and bailey been the worst
-
We've broke Leon Bailey and Beundia in under just over a quarter of the season. Impressive.
The coaching of these players is horrendous, its always one player against 3 or 4 Southampton players and none of ours helping out or taking advantage of the space.
-
Statues in the centre there when Bailey beat his man.
This is a side that has lost everything they had with or without Jack.
The coaches that left speak volumes.
-
Bailey tracks back like Traore.
This is our problem at the moment
To be fair, I think this one of our numerous problems at the moment
-
We bossed the last twenty seconds.
-
Whatever team ethic we had last season has all but gone with the sale of our former captain
-
Hate to say but we neee to go three at the back here
-
Buendia with another passenger performance.
40m we blew on him. Absolute rip off
-
I'm guessing it said "Sad Ken, 2.15 at Chepstow".
Nice.
"Back with Sad Ken now, and they've had to shoot him. Yes, Sad Ken has been shot- and so's the jockey."
I knew I hadn't quite got the quote right. At least I'm laughing at something as well as our defending.
-
El Ghazi for Ramsey at half time, assuming he doesn’t finally get sent off.
-
Southampton should be ashamed it’s only 1-0
-
Hate to say but we neee to go three at the back here
Burn him without trial
-
Sad to say Leon Bailey is reminding me bit of Ayew
-
Best move of the game on 44 minutes.
-
Hate to say but we neee to go three at the back here
We really don't.
-
We have shown at times though that if we were "on it" we can cut through this Saints team no problem. The main issue is the mental load of the previous four games.
-
They are working twice as hard as we are
-
We are starting to get that stench about us
-
Shite.
-
70% possession to Atletico in the first half
-
Hate to say but we neee to go three at the back here
Er, no.
-
Booooooo
-
Booooooooooooooooo
-
Buendia with another passenger performance.
40m we blew on him. Absolute rip off
He's going to be our worst signing ever at this rate. Just shows how bad Norwich must be for him to be called one of their best ever players.
He is awful.
-
Was that the Villa marks out of ten I just saw flashed up on the board?
-
If El Ghazi comes out for the second half Dean shoukd be sacked on the spot
-
Oh. It was time added. Sorry.
-
Shite.
-
Shambles.
Get El Khazi off for starters.
-
Hate to say but we neee to go three at the back here
We really don't.
Aren't we playing just the one at the moment? It might help.
-
I have told everyone.
Austin McPhee. Shit football. Relegation.
You heard it here first.
-
A dreadful half from a a clueless manager.
Why the feck is aeg still on tbw pitch?? Why is buendia so usless?
Why can't we press properly? Why cant we counter attack? Why we so fragile??
-
Booooooo
Whaddaya mean, booooo? We're only 1-0 down, yaaaaaaay.
-
Buendia with another passenger performance.
40m we blew on him. Absolute rip off
Rubbish. He is a very good player in a shite set up.
-
Would honestly take Hassenhuttl at this point.
Southampton are limited but at least attempt a modern progressive style of play.
It's just not good enough I'm afraid.
-
Well, at least that's half of it out of the way. Only another 45 mins to go.
-
If Smith doesn't push this team on for a much better 2nd half, he should go, that was bloody awful.
-
Done with this, that half was every bit as bad as Arsenal, Smith has lost the plot completely and the team have stopped playing for him.
-
Buendia with another passenger performance.
40m we blew on him. Absolute rip off
Yep!!!
-
Buendia with another passenger performance.
40m we blew on him. Absolute rip off
Check the receipt before making inaccurate comments about the prices we have paid for players.
-
Our pressing is so shit this season, were chasing shadows all half. No wonder we look consistently unfit.
-
Cant see us scoring at all, you expecting a reaction after West Ham, but all I see is a shit performance, midfield completely disappeared
-
So Dean was that a good half? Is it still just the first half at Arsenal that was bad
-
One goal and two assists says otherwise.
He has been a shit signing so far and has shown nothing to suggest he is worth 40m
-
So, dean won’t be the New England manager?
More chance of him replacing Bill Belichick than Southgate at this rate.
-
One positive though is I'm incredibly confident that not just losing but playing this shit will lead to his sacking. Just cut open the blister and get on with the healing.
P.S. Don't open it with a Lampard shaped dagger.
-
Think Dean can start planning how to spend his compo.
-
Something is very wrong in the camp.
-
I hope that wasn't our good half, atrocious.
-
45 minutes of Dean Smith left at villa.
-
Well it's looking like the money we spent from the Grealish sale is looking very poor value, contrary to the prevailing opinion before the season started.
-
Cant see us scoring at all, you expecting a reaction after West Ham
Naaa mate, if we didnt get a reaction after the Wolves game then there's no chance we'll get one after the WHU game.
We'll hear them talk about reactions but not a chance we'll see one.
-
Sack him. Ghazi should have been subbed at 25 mins. Why the fuck he was allowed to nearly get sent off twice is beyond me.
McGinn did fuck all
Our press is all over the place
Bailey makes Buendia look strong
Tuanzebe looks like a deer in the headlights.
Mings has stood up. Brilliant character.
Get Archer and Chuck on.
Smith lets Ghazi come out second half, then he deserves the bullet in the car park.
-
Buendia with another passenger performance.
40m we blew on him. Absolute rip off
Rubbish. He is a very good player in a shite set up.
I've not seen a lot to back that up. He misplaces a lot of simple passes, gets caught on the ball and shrugged off too easily. He had good numbers at Norwich but I didn't spend an awful lot of time watching them in any great detail.
Out of position or not, I'm struggling to see a £35m player in there.
-
He gets potted after this unless their is a dramatic improvement.
-
Lucky to be just one down.
Lucky to still have 11 on the pitch.
Bailey and Buendia offered next to nothing in that half.
Get El Ghazi off before he is sent off.
Dean Smith has 45 minutes to hang onto his job.
-
El Ghazi for Ramsey at half time, assuming he doesn’t finally get sent off.
Which Ramsey?
-
Got to get El Ghazi off before he gets sent off. Should have had three yellow cards by now. Get Ramsey on, push Buendia right (looks hopelessly lost in the middle) and Bailey left.
-
Why is El Ghazi still on? He's a sending off waiting to happen. Put Carney on for Buendia. Bailey has had a mare...no confidence in this team at all.
-
Christian Purslow needs to accept the team have completely given up on the current manager. Before it gets to a point of real concern cut ties. This isn’t getting any better with Dean Smith as manager. His time is up.
-
That last 10 minutes against Wolves is really going to define our season, isn't it?
Confidence completely drained.
-
Them 280 passes.
Us 142 passes.
Shite football
Shite defending
Shite attacking
Shite game management
Shite manager
-
In a strange sort of perverse way, I hope that we don’t put an improved performance in for the second half.
I fear the team putting in a better performance will result in a plaster being stuck on a wound that it is festering ultimately
If we play as badly as we did in the first half, then surely it’s time we move on.
-
Buendia with another passenger performance.
40m we blew on him. Absolute rip off
Rubbish. He is a very good player in a shite set up.
I've not seen a lot to back that up. He misplaces a lot of simple passes, gets caught on the ball and shrugged off too easily. He had good numbers at Norwich but I didn't spend an awful lot of time watching them in any great detail.
Out of position or not, I'm struggling to see a £35m player in there.
His football for Norwich was sublime. He is class. Just in a car crash set up at the moment.
-
I've often been happy to stick up for El Ghazi in the past, but his 'performance' in that first half was nothing short of disgraceful.
-
That last 10 minutes against Wolves is really going to define our season, isn't it?
Confidence completely drained.
It was Smith's Leicester.
We are going to get relegated if he stays. No one believes me, but we are easily a bottom 3 team right now.
-
the worrying thing is we are now getting that air, that stench about us that signals a struggle for the rest of the season. We have got to act now before it’s too late and it becomes entrenched.
-
We are so narrow we really don’t give ourselves a chance, no space and easy to defend against. Southampton stretch the play and find space and create a tempo. It’s not hard but we’ve totally lost our way now. We smell of fear.
-
I am probably the last of the happy clappers and haven't quite fallen into 'Smith Out' territory yet. It is getting hard though, he isn't sorting out our problems. Cash has been overrun every chuffing week, we still look like the players just met in the car park. Thoroughly depressing.
-
AEG getting a red this game for sure....
-
Christian Purslow needs to accept the team have completely given up on the current manager. Before it gets to a point of real concern cut ties. This isn’t getting any better with Dean Smith as manager. His time is up.
This
-
Send Axel back what Dean sees in him is beyond me. Yes El Ghazi should have been replaced lucky to stay on. Typical of Smith he will wait til were down to ten men before making a change. Felt a bit sorry for Mings he is doing what he can with little or no support. Southampton are a piss weak side that are playing us off the park.
-
Fuck me no changes?!?!?
-
No changes. Laugh or cry?
-
Dean soz mate. No bollocks, no clue.
-
No changes for the second half, gulp.
-
He haz kept el ghazi on??
Sorry but smiths a complete fool
-
Something is very wrong in the camp.
You can see this from Mexico.
It has gone very wrong the last 7/8 months.
The coaches leaving paints a picture.
-
I’ll hold out for a 1-1 draw until they score their 2nd goal.
Seriously, looks worse with each match. Can’t seem to control the ball. People were raving about Bailey and I posted that until I see him play 10 consistent games, I wouldn’t be able to judge him. Tonight, he’s not interested in defending at all and doesn’t look that positive going forward either.
-
No changes and El Ghazi is still on! Laughable
-
AEG still on. FFS.
-
No changes at HT. The least shocking thing of the evening
-
We've broke Leon Bailey and Beundia in under just over a quarter of the season. Impressive.
Their fitness levels are appalling, Bailey particularly.
Got to only 1-0 at the break but a shambles in truth.
-
I wouldn’t look at the players particularly - they’ve been poor but it’s clear there’s no coherent plan.
-
AEG getting a red this game for sure....
No doubt he'll use it to prove he played in this game.
-
Asked to sum up the mood in the camp just before the game, Dean said 'determined.' In which case, I wouldn't like to see them play when they're feeling half-arsed.
-
It's like he wants to go, I wonder if he's had enough?
-
How’s that not a penalty for the pull on Mings via VAR?
-
Much more like it so far, Mon Villa.
-
Thats better
-
El Ghazi should have been subbed! We cannot afford to go down to 10 men.
-
Leaving Al Ghazi on could be a bad move but i guess he's gambling on a good assist.
-
Better this half so far
-
How’s that not a penalty for the pull on Mings via VAR?
We're Aston Villa. We don't get those
-
AEG getting a red this game for sure....
No doubt he'll use it to prove he played in this game.
Well he's still doing more than one or two others
-
Let’s be fair, Mings has stood up here.
-
Var deciding it wasn't a shirt pull.
-
In the first 3 minutes we have done better than whole of the 1st half
-
Asked to sum up the mood in the camp just before the game, Dean said 'determined.' In which case, I wouldn't like to see them play when they're feeling half-arsed.
Maybe he meant determined to get me fired.
-
Mings has the bit between his teeth
-
Much better now.
-
Much better
-
Absolutely no press in that first half. Completely overrun in midfield and everything left to the last line of defence.
But it does look like Aston Villa have come on for the second half, at least...
-
Buendia linking well. Not quite the end product, yet.
-
Different side so far.
-
Look so much better
-
Buendia close again
-
Miles better
-
Mings has the bit between his teeth
Makes a welcome change from chewing gum.
-
Much better.
Come on VILLLLLAAAAA!!!
-
Fuck is Ralf wearing?
-
So much better. Keep it up Villa
-
Need to score from this spell as we won't keep this up.
-
Different side so far.
And yet it’s the same!
-
Attack attack attack attack attack.
-
Another corner. We really should get a set piece coach.
-
Why the fuck did it take until half time to get us going?
If we'd started like this it'd have been a completely different atmosphere.
-
Axel so close!
-
You just know after all of this they will score to make it 2-0
-
This set piece coach is stealing a living
-
Mings immense
-
Mcginn is a bit like mings, brilliant one game and so utterly shit the next one
-
Mings is finally playing like the Captain we know he can do.
-
You just know after all of this they will score to make it 2-0
I didn't want to say that but.....
-
You just know after all of this they will score to make it 2-0
Can't help thinking it.
-
Down more in 5 mins than we did in whole of first half
-
Much better Bailey, Emi, and Ollie look sharp now.
-
Please God - I will go to church if we can actually get a result tonight 🙏
-
Look at ralph makes change straight away. Take note dean when something inst working
-
Wow. A manager who changes things.
-
I would change Nakamba for JR, JPB or Chucky. Get someone on who will drive us forward
-
Hasenhuttl shit the bed? Brought on another CB for am attacker
-
I would change Nakamba for JR, JPB or Chucky. Get someone on who will drive us forward
Has to. Otherwise what is the actual point of this?
-
GET EL GHAZI OFF FFS!!
-
El Ghazi all shit and no shart.
-
This set piece coach is stealing a living
Bloody right he is. I’ve never known our set pieces so bad
-
That was our good spell. I’m going back to sleep now
-
Ollie poor he shouldnt have gone wide there
-
Poor from Watkins. We had players over then.
-
Buendia did well there, he's been much better second half.
-
Ollie poor he shouldnt have gone wide there
Was a corner.
-
Emi is doing great this half.
-
Ralf dressed like that uncle you only see at christmas.
-
Buendia playing well now
-
Buendia should have tried to put in Bailey there, make use of his pace.
-
Ollie poor he shouldnt have gone wide there
that's the first time I've seen him mentioned on this thread which tells its own story I think.
-
Buendia did well there, he's been much better second half.
They all have been
-
JJ for Nakamba.
-
Come on Villa
-
Mon Leon, mate. That was pish.
-
What the fuck was that.
-
Utter fucking shit bailey
-
Bailey LOL
-
What in fucks name was that?
-
Bailey. Unforgiveable.
-
Ahh rugby conversion
Dreadful
-
Bailey ffs
-
That is one of the wankest free kicks I've ever seen.
-
That was dire
-
I wish we'd kept quiet about having a set piece coach.
-
We Broke Bailey in 10 games! Yay
-
I seriously cant believe bailey did that. It was fucking terrible
-
Bring on archer
-
They've taken the pace out of the game in the last few minutes.
-
Ralf dressed like that uncle you only see at christmas.
Yeah that Christmas visit is arguably one too many visits
-
Is Bailey brain dead?
-
What a save
-
Great save Martinez.
-
What a save
-
Looking good at the moment. Plaster time.
-
Smith looks like he is absolutely shitting it
What a fucking save
-
Is Bailey brain dead?
Played out of position.
As is Buendia.
-
Brain dead Tuanzebe
-
Great save
-
I'll say this, their goal was a fluke, and if we keep this up this half, I think we can be more positive going into the intl. break. This half we've seen the drive and commitment that has been missing recently. Emi included, just seems more like his old self today.
-
That save is an absolute worldy!
-
Brilliant save Emi.
-
Give Archer 20 minutes.
-
What a fucking save.
-
I’d bring Chuck on for el Ghazi and push Bailey to left/Buendia to right.
-
Is Bailey brain dead?
Played out of position.
As is Buendia.
That freekick though.
-
Where was the fucking defence?
-
Get archer on for el gahzi
-
That looked very much like a planned substitution for this situation, MN didn't seem surprised or reluctant at all. Would have thought a reactive sub of El Ghazi might have been better overall though.
-
Is Bailey brain dead?
Played out of position.
As is Buendia.
That freekick though.
Ha ha! One to forget!!!!
-
I really can’t believe that free kick. Bailey has been absolutely useless all match along with Watkins. We’re effectively playing with nine players
-
That hopefully will be the confidence boosting save that Merse was talking about...
-
Is Bailey brain dead?
Played out of position.
As is Buendia.
That freekick though.
Was the act of a total jerk.
-
Cramp? Seriously
-
Just feels like one of those slow death games for the manager.
We're not going to score are we?
-
So what to drink next???
-
We’re not going to score are we?
-
Why take of emi and not aeg
-
I don’t think we will. Not tonight.
-
I know it's hard to, but don't forget we have a specialist free-kick coach
-
Archer!
-
So what to drink next???
Claret.
-
Hope we kept the receipt for Buendia.
-
Top scorer on. Here we go.
BReXiT bench
-
Emi B is showing what he’s about here.
-
Coming on?
-
Hope we kept the receipt for Buendia.
sports direct. Exchanges only
-
So what to drink next???
Claret.
Good pointer. Archer and Claret.
-
Is this the first time ever that we've had numbers 1, 11, 21, 31 and 41 on the pitch at the same time?
-
Brilliant by bailey
-
Good to see CA on but don't get why AEG is still on...
-
What a stupid sub. Buendia off ffs
-
Brilliant by bailey
he actually put a tackle in...
-
What a stupid sub. Buendia off ffs
Suspect cramp was the clue
-
Hope we kept the receipt for Buendia.
No mate. He is class. Just in a bad place
-
What a stupid sub. Buendia off ffs
He had cramp
-
What a stupid sub. Buendia off ffs
He had cramp
Lightweight
-
Buendia was clearly strugglingvwith cramp so was an obvious one to take off.
-
This is petering out, come on Villa!
-
Buendia was clearly strugglingvwith cramp so was an obvious one to take off.
Ok
-
How can Buendia not manage more than 70 minutes? Disgraceful.
-
Looks like a bit of a last throw of the dice, but if we can nick one they'll start getting nervous...
-
We’re not going to score are we?
We've only had since the 3rd minute. Give them a chance.
-
So this would be 5th defeat against 4 teams (other than Iron) who were all there for the taking.
-
Hope we kept the receipt for Buendia.
No mate. He is class. Just in a bad place
Agree, and I think he started to show it in the second half. Needs more fitness tho.
-
The Everton game and we thought a hero in Bailey.
The PL moves at a such a pace
-
We’re not going to score are we?
We've only had since the 3rd minute. Give them a chance.
No I doubt we will
-
Davis coming on. Slow clap
-
Southampton are actually really shit, we just made them look good first half.
-
Kienan to the rescue!
-
Davis for el ghazi 3 strikers??
-
Hope we kept the receipt for Buendia.
No mate. He is class. Just in a bad place
Agree, and I think he started to show it in the second half. Needs more fitness tho.
I know but you can see his class in a better Villa side
-
Can we not take off a defender? We are losing, aren't we?
-
Throwing on all the forwards, somebodys watched our 2nd leg against Bradford dvd.
-
Sigh.....
-
COME ON DAVIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Come on Davis!
-
Ramsey that ball was dreadful
-
Keinan for El Ghazi. It's just like being in the Championship.
-
All set up now for a Keinan equaliser followed by an Archer winner.
-
This just smacks of desperation. It's like when Lambert just kept throwing strikers on when we were getting knocked out of the League Cup by Bradford but had no idea how to actually utilise them beyond playing the percentages.
-
Fuck off long throws
-
Throwing on all the forwards, somebodys watched our 2nd leg against Bradford dvd.
A good choice for Halloween.
-
Throwing on all the forwards, somebodys watched our 2nd leg against Bradford dvd.
Damn you - you either type faster than I do or your stream is less dodgy than mine and isn't as delayed!!!
-
This just smacks of desperation. It's like when Lambert just kept throwing strikers on when we were getting knocked out of the League Cup by Bradford but had no idea how to actually utilise them beyond playing the percentages.
We did actually score a late goal in that game.
-
smiths taken off both our most dangerous players. Is he playing russian roulette? he's brought on a kid and a goal shy striker.
2nd half Gazi and bunedia were our biggest weapons.
-
3 strikers on. Hoof ball.
-
At least he's going for it I suppose.
-
No plan, fooking shite
-
No tactics just hoofing foward. Desperate shit
-
This just smacks of desperation. It's like when Lambert just kept throwing strikers on when we were getting knocked out of the League Cup by Bradford but had no idea how to actually utilise them beyond playing the percentages.
Agreed!!!!
-
Desperate stuff this isn't it. Huff, puff, long throws. No invention whatsoever. Whoever is out net manager, can he please do away with the long throws.
-
Can't agree with commentator saying it will be nervous 10mins for Saints. Any game management competence will see it through
-
Throwing the strikers on willy nilly. Any idea what the formation is supposed to be now?
Now it's proper get it in the mixer desperation stuff.
-
Southampton are actually really shit, we just made them look good first half.
Truth is that all the teams we have lost to really aren’t that good.
If we could JUST up our game we good beat them.
-
This just smacks of desperation. It's like when Lambert just kept throwing strikers on when we were getting knocked out of the League Cup by Bradford but had no idea how to actually utilise them beyond playing the percentages.
So you would rather he brought on a defender???
-
I have this unexplainable detest for Southampton, how they stay up year after year is beyond me.
-
This just smacks of desperation. It's like when Lambert just kept throwing strikers on when we were getting knocked out of the League Cup by Bradford but had no idea how to actually utilise them beyond playing the percentages.
We did actually score a late goal in that game.
And just like tonight, we actually needed two.
-
Pathetic. Smith out.
-
We really miss Doug.
-
This just smacks of desperation. It's like when Lambert just kept throwing strikers on when we were getting knocked out of the League Cup by Bradford but had no idea how to actually utilise them beyond playing the percentages.
So you would rather he brought on a defender???
Nope aaron ramsey who seems to be able to score goals
-
Not exactly playing to Watkin's and Archer's strengths.
-
Long throw to a packed penalty area, back to Targett 40 yards out, shite floaty nothing 50/50 ball, poor flick on, out for a goal kick. That’s us.
-
God this is terrible
-
I see we are all having Bradford moments. He's lost the plot. Nakamba was retrieving the ball well. No need to change him. Ghazi and Bailey were the poorest players put there. Bidace or Chuck and Archer. Davis smacks of desperation.
-
Watkins a shadow of his normal self.
-
Why don't we ever smash one in with an absolute screamer like the opposition do at least once a game?
-
‘Another big turn out at St Mary’s’ says the dimwit as the empty seats are there for all to see.
-
Is this the first time ever that we've had numbers 1, 11, 21, 31 and 41 on the pitch at the same time?
Two fat ladies - Richard Dunne.
-
Watkins whats happened to him. His finishing has utter garbage
Wish we did sign tammy as i wa aharping on about in the summer
-
Smith appears to have channelled Pulis and Lambert tonight.

All season.

This is a stupid rule. They get an uncontested drop ball now, even though we stopped for their injury.
-
I'm only listening to the radio, but it sounds as if the players know Deano has gone out of the door.
-
I'd ban us from crossing.
-
Smith clear your desk
-
Why are we never that smart? Under pressure, corner go down hold your head.
-
Just not at the races really
-
True.
He has to go. The Davis change smacked of complete desperation.

Southampton brought on a CB for one of their midfielders, Nakamba was brought off for a more attacking midfielder as he wasn't needed anymore. Buendia was brought off because he was having cramp.
-
Watkins a shadow of his normal self.
It's like Invasion of the body snatchers. Most of our players have been replaced by really shit copies.
-
All a bit desperate
-
This is a stupid rule. They get an uncontested drop ball now, even though we stopped for their injury.
Or maybe not, because the ball had left the area when he stopped play.
-
Regardless of how this ends, it really is time for Smith to go, before it gets a bit nasty.
-
It looks like the writing is on the wall. You can’t lose 5 on the hop in this league
-
We're going down
-
A late goal now papers over the cracks
-
I'm only listening to the radio, but it sounds as if the players know Deano has gone out of the door.
Dunno how you work that out, we’ve been much the better team this half and just needed a goal to get us going but it just ain’t happening
-
We're going down
No we aren’t.
-
I have this unexplainable detest for Southampton, how they stay up year after year is beyond me.
Aye, total non entity of a club.
Fuck them right off.
-
Absolutely no excuse to be offside there. Shit
-
I don’t think we’re going down, but we’re going to need to be decisive now and act.
-
We don't do draws or wins.
-
I'm only listening to the radio, but it sounds as if the players know Deano has gone out of the door.
Dunno how you work that out, we’ve been much the better team this half and just needed a goal to get us going but it just ain’t happening
And created nothing.
-
I fucking knew as soon as Martinez launched it that some ****** would be in an off side position
-
We're going down
No we aren’t.
You see three worse teams then
-
And also, whatever the result is, this second half is the best we've actually played at The Dell/St Mary's in my memory, going back to the late 80s. Sure, we've won the odd time, but usually get completely outplayed.

We've had loads of chances this half.
-
Anyone that thinks we aren't going down is in for a rude awakening. This team has no confidence. The manager is making strange decisions. We are not creating. Defending is poor.
-

No we aren’t.

It’s november, we are showing some fight this half. The quality is there just not the coaching. Plenty of games left this season to get results.
-
We're going down
No we aren’t.

Well there's ......... oh, I see what you mean.
-
A half decent half is nothing like enough this evening.

Really? We've had a couple of half chances but nothing clear cut. Emi has made more saves this half still. And they could have been out of sight first half.
-
We’re down if the board don’t sack Smith
-

I was with you up till HT. But this is not the 2nd half of a team doomed to go down.
-
Agree. We need to get rid now or we’ll be sucked into the vacuum.

They could have been out of sight first half. Martinez has made one good save second half while Watkins, El Ghazi, Tuanzebe and Cash all should have scored for us.

Excruciating

We've battled more, but created nothing of real note.
-
That might be the most inept minute in football history. Fucking Hell.
-

Dyson with going down.
-
Davis you absolute lump!!
Fuckin shit player
-
I would say that JWP looks like the exact type of player we should have signed I. The summer
-
I think that’s it for Dean
-
Davis…. Never ever going to make it
-
Grim watching, this is so frustrating.
They look shot of confidence and belief.
-
Comical. Like watching Cov in the old days

You're talking nonsense here, I'm afraid. If you don't think that Cash effort was "of note" then I don't know what is.

I know we've been better this half, but it's just a gut feeling. Hope I'm wrong though!
-
This is so frustrating!
-
Time please gentlemen.
Has to be done tomorrow now
-
7 minutes added on and not even close to having a shot on goal is fucking wank, mind.
-
Still trying to work out how you can spend gbp100m and make the team worse. ( yes, I know about JG)
-
Davis you absolute lump!!
Fuckin shit player
He isn't. Just patently not good enough for this level and never has been.
-
Time for Dean to leave
-
Ive had enough of this fuckin team under dean smith
-
Dean did say after Man Utd that he likes 1-0s
-
The Davis sub was utterly fucking stupid. Sorry but it was. We needed a conduit to create. Not a player to lumber about.
-
Remember the Spurs game when tjey kept it in the corner flag for the whole of injury time and we had no idea how to counter it? Its a fucking re-run
-
Well that’s bollocks
-
Mings and Cash brilliant tonight, that is all.
-
Davis is dreadful.
-

This was the point I knew, reluctantly, he has to go
-
Didn't see a player that wasn't trying but if Dean isn't replaced we will be in a relegation battle after all the money and players he has had .

We lumped it in, someone scuffed it then Cash had a fresh air kick. Hardly creating chances.
-
Mings and Cash brilliant tonight, that is all.
Cash was at fault for the goal and had a chance that he should have done better with.
-
I Hate calling for managers heads.
-
I Hate calling for managers heads.
Ill do it for you, first one is free
Smith out

Do you think Smith should go?
Just checking like.
-
2nd half performance, might just have saved Smith, but why can't we put that type of performance in for the 90 mins. Gotta give credit to our captain today thought he was superb and also Martinez.
It wasn’t that good it just looked good against the shambles of the first half. The team is massively underperforming and that’s down to Dean, he needs to go now.

yep.
