Southampton vs Aston Villa match thread

[passport1]

Stop your moaning. By this time in the game in May we were 5 nil down!

Okore was getting ripped to shreds.

[Jimbo]

Organised. What a novelty. Keep it up, Villa.

[Ozzjim]

Is this online anywhere?

*cough PM cough*

Can i have one too?

Me cough too cough!

dose of influenza breaking out? I recommend a course of leeches.

I am actually in bed feeling like the onset of man flu is creeping upon me. Last time I felt like this we did Liverpool in the semi. I have taken to the same place.

5th Villa corner.

Rudi goes very close.

Who's floating them in this evening

Organisation is the thing we need the most.

Crespo has not looked too bad in either game so far (going on what has been said about him in the first half tonight)

BBC WM reporting that Villa are a well organised 4-4-2

[john e]

Bad starting line up but good display so far

[PeterWithesShin]

Sounds like we've been decent first half. Solid if unspectacular, which i'll take after the last couple of months! Even WM saying we were the better side and we look relaxed etc.

[Ozzjim]

Is everyone else's commentary in French? It's a sign....

The commentary was, then the adverts are a mix of dutch, and well.... Schteve McLaren voice overs.

[Dave]

Considering the players out there, that could have been far worse.

Hopefully that wasn't our good half.

Westwood - all in-swingers so far

[dutchvilla]

the interchanging of hutton and bacuna and amavi and richardson is working ok. Should take off Gestede or Gabby for Grealish or Ayew to give it more of a spark. Soton are there for the taking but you can see them winning 1-0

[Smirker]

Mine is in English, I've PM'd everyone with links to buy cough medicine.

[aj2k77]

Second half we bring on our flair players and destroy them, it's our cup tactic. Someone's told Westwood to kick the ball properly too.

[SamTheMouse]

It's been dull and largely uninspired, but we look quite solid at the back for a change, and as the game has gone on we've actually had the better of the play.

All things considered, this isn't bad. A set piece looks like our best bet. We can win this.

[The Edge]

Hutton applauding a crap pass?

No, applauding the idea Sanchez had. Hutton should have committed to the run rather than halting

Amavi and Sanchez look impressive so far

Gestede and Bacuna don't look premier league level at all

not at game just listening to talk sport and following updates on here. Bit confused. Fans at the game giving Gestede pelters. Reporter at the game saying he is "unplayable" and Saints defenders can't handle him. WTF?

He's not . They can!

According to the reporters they' ain't!
