Southampton v Aston Villa Match Thread

[supertom]

Bacuna and Luna really are shit at defending.
We miss Vlaar already. Hopefully nothing major.

Can we nick another goal? Can we? Surely not.

[usav]

They have had 78% possession in the 2nd half.

Lambert play 442 you fucking coward.

[Chipsticks]

Just heard vlaars problem is not to do with his knee which is fortunate, he's sat on the bench now and it looks like it's just a knock.

[itbrvilla]

Lambert play 442 you fucking coward.

HAHA!

[Toronto Villa]

Would either goal have gone in with Vlaar out there?

[Irish villain]

really bad defending ....    we do the hard work having been shit and the defence do that

I like Lowton but he aint no CB

Lowton is a good full back who is better going forward than he is defending. That's why putting him centre back is not a good idea. Should have went 4 at the back. Plus our goal came from the right, with 4-4-2 we might have more width.

If Vlaar is out on Sunday I'd be tempted to try donacien rather than go with a baker Clark partnership.

[JUAN PABLO]

what the fuck was that =  straight to their goalie

[JUAN PABLO]

another header  ffs

[SamTheMouse]

If Vlaar is out for a long time, we could be in a spot of bother. Lambert's had terrible luck in that position.

[rjp]

Without Vlaar that defence looks like the darkest days of last season defending crosses.  I think we've held the ball up front better in the last few minutes though.

[PaulWinch again]

That was nearly the third, awful defending.

[exiled on the wirral!]

I would take a point now!!

[Jimbo]

I'd like to know what the collective IQ of our team is. I wonder if it nudges 500?
