Aston Villa vs Southampton match thread

Nerves are shot, this is bloody awful.  Its only bloody November!

[Proposition Joe]

Okore has impressed me.

Athletic and decent on the ball. Hit probably our best pass of the evening, too.

He's also, when needed, stuck to the principle of "nobody's ever scored from row Z". Which makes a refreshing change after various errors due to faffing.

[Ron Manager]

Richardson for Zog welcome sub!

[Ross]

the possession stats continue to be utterly embarrassing. After 3 years of "evolution" under Lambert to not progress our style of play is shocking. We will never be anything other than perennial strugglers with a third of the play every match.....

[paulcomben]

Zog down the tunnel, so injured. But for a moment I thought Lambo had made a smart substitution tactically.

[Jimbo]

I reckon it'll come on 79 minutes.

[Astral Weeks]

Our ball retention is still utter shite.

That's what worries me.

I hope we hold on to the lead, I really do, but I just look at this playing style and wonder how often it is going to work for us.

You can actually hear what that fat yellow bloated twat is saying as it's so quiet

Is it me or are we playing more 4-5-1?

Cleverley seems to be further forward than the other two in midfield. Lost in the hole it seems. Thats the role he was bought for so particularly disappointing

[Jimbo]

Am I hallucinating, or did we string three (3) passes together just then? Way to go!

[Smirker]

Big Jores with the tackle there.

[Ron Manager]

One goal is not enough Im afraid.

[RonBurgundy]

This is what I can't stomach. It's no joy watching us play like this, even when we win it's a period of torture followed by relief

[citizenDJ]

Excellent from Okore, again. Very promising.

Cleverley is playing well tonight too, in my opinion.
