Southampton vs Aston Villa match thread

Why is Crespo in over Okore as well, the guy needs minutes.

I assume as they are only just back from injury he doesn't want to risk both.

[Legion]

That looks awful.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm half hoping I can't get WM now!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Another case of trying to play shit first half?

Okore was getting training match minutes the end of last month though wasn't he?

I think it's a team that has one big eye on Monday as I'd expect most of the bench plus Richards Gana and a couple of that starting team to play v Spurs

[ozzjim]

Defend and nick a goal from a flick on.

[Clampy]

Got to be honest, that's a really poor side bearing in mind we don't play again until Monday night.

[Toronto Villa]

The only positive is the return of Amavi. What was the risk in playing a side to win tonight? If we lose we lose but at least we would have tried to win.

Can understand giving Gana and Grealish a rest, and pleased to see Clark in for Lescott.

However, annoyed about the lack of creativity. If we are experimenting a bit, why not give Traore a go? And why is it whenever Ayew plays well he gets dropped rather than being allowed to develop a run of form?

When you see all those articles saying "Sherwood's not the problem, all of the mediocre players - that's the problem".

If the only evidence that they have to go on are teams like tonight's, you probably have to cut them a bit of slack for thinking that we're dull and rubbish.

[peter w]

After seeing that line up, 3-1 Villa.

[Taylor]

Christ that's rubbish. McDonald out!

[oswald funkletrumpet]

fuck me thats a terrible team

[Villafirst]

Adama needs game time.....so, let's leave him out of squad altogether. The club is joke. Why is Okore left out of the starting eleven? Club has a death wish...
