Southampton vs. Villa Post Match Thread

Well, it's better than losing all the time.

Beat Arsenal next up, right back in it 

[N'Zimidy]

We played pretty well I thought.

Westwood missing that chance proper fucked me off.

I'd have snapped your hand off for a draw before the match mind. Good point.

[l_mckay]

We didn't loose. Would of took that before the game especially with the injury to Richards. Shame we couldn't hold on but a point is ok.

Unbeaten on the South coast all season. We should move Villa Park there.

I'd have taken a draw before the game. And a point gained on 3 teams so far.

[dutchvilla]

It's a point gained on Sunderland, Norwich and (presumably) Bournemouth.

Gestede tried, but only Ayew offered any threat. We didn't put them under enough pressure.

[itbrvilla]

Were finished. No way will we get the point we need if we can't get them at places where they've had a bad spell.

[pauliewalnuts]

re going for three points, our confidence must be absolutely zero.

Losing today would have made that much worse. A point is not a significant mathematical contributor towards reaching safety, but to at least get us starting to think we can play a bit, to start building confidence, it is very important.

Going all out to try to win towards the end would have been monumentally stupid. That's the sort of thing earlier period Lambert would have done.

Yes please! Or maybe not come to think of it as I currently have distance as my excuse for not having to watch the unremitting shit we serve up

Erm, apart from in the League Cup.

[Bad English]

I've got a right sarsehole after all that clenching.

Very good point but the same problems are not going to be addressed, the defence is a walking calamity, the midfield doesn't offer much and Gestede upfront is terrible. I'm happy to not lose again but can't see how we can stay up without buying 5 players who all pay off in January.

[Goldie.7]

Yeah... they could of been out of sight after the first 15, so getting a point isn't too bad considering we didn't do a lot to win the game either. Ayew was MOTM until he went up front, if we had a decent forward we'd be a hell of threat now that he's finding his feet.

We won't be in touching distance by then.
