Southampton v Aston Villa Match Thread

[hawkeye]

The problem is actually the midfield, we lost all shape when Ireland went off.

If you need a goal,
If you need a win,
Feeling down?

Come play Aston Villa.
A laughing stock since 2009.

Cmon lads, up and downs, we've been dire but we're not suddenly going down. Credit to them they've been good, we've been poor.
On a plus note, Bennet looks like a player

[pauliewalnuts]

What was Vlaar doing there, stood, watching?

No idea....I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as he's been quite good do far, but that was abysmal, almost Huttonesque.

I thought he'd pulled up injured, he just stopped and stood there, watching it.

Trust Aston Villa to put a big shitty spanner in my 30th birthday celebrations.

So much for character the equaliser knocked the piss out of them and they haven't threatened since.

Holman was at fault in the build up as well.

[Jimbo]

Very poor indeed.

[Tuscans]

Let's be honest, we have been piss poor from the first whistle...but I never expected us to be down 3-1 to Southampton

This. And the forwards aren't dropping off to pressure their midfield either. Nobody other than the defenders is doing any fucking work.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

This ref is soft.

Edit: Apparently nto for us though.

[curlytailavfc]

that was shite defending could see a third coming the last ten mins weve been asleep

[bertlambshank]

well all those that wanted ireland off you got your wish and we have fallen to bits since he went off

Ya, sack the manager.

It has been the difference.If he wasn't injured major fuck up.

[Tuscans]

Oh how dreams can be shattered in a space of 1 week
