Southampton vs. Villa Post Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Meanwhile Bournemouth are winning 😂😂😂😂

Have won

[brontebilly]

We're an awful team, I know that, but let's not pretend there won't be many more twists and turns before the season ends. I'm not throwing in the towel just yet, thanks.
Stay in touch till January, let Garde get a few of his players in and you never know.

Yep I'm with you all the way. Garde is really limited in his options right now. The back four and goalkeeper are a huge liability. He needs to get that fixed sharpish and add some strength to the midfield. We need 4 additions in January. 4 good additions that will cost a bit no doubt but which pales in significance the money we'd lose by not doing it.

And honest to goodness Richardson, Westwood and Gestede are just hideous.

Bringing in Westwood on the left wing was a weird decision from Garde

He scores that chance, we win and Garde is a genius I guess but it doesnt say much for Traore, Gabby or Richardson which were all more obvious choices to come in

I get the feeling Garde really doesnt rate Traore or Gabby

Gabby is just back from injury and that was not the time for Traore. The performance was built on every player busting a gut to defend, and he would have unbalanced that. Gabby got back in his very brief cameo, Traore just doesn't do that now. Gana patrolled the left hand side for most of the game and Westwood came on when he tired. I think Garde has seen that we are being heavily targeted down that side in the absence of Amavi and is trying to protect the full back much better.

Who looked solid throughout unlike us.

I just dint understnad how a rag bag of players at Bournemouth look so much better than us. They have won today, came back against Everton and were unlucky not to win at Swansea.

Watford and Bournemouth being better than us........who would have belived that. Dont get me started on Leicester

[oswald funkletrumpet]

The 9 games after the Arsenal game will decide if we stay up or not I reckon.

the next five for me, we must win at least two of newcastle, west ham, norwich and sunderland

[Bad English]

Great point
The empire has just struck back

Yes. We also have Jar Jar Binks at number 39.

[mattjpa]

I don't like to single anyone out but I've got to say, I think Westwood missed that chance because he was scared of taking a hit after hitting the badmkk

Bournmouth are a team who won the league last season  , even with injuries they are still riding on that success and have a settled style of play /players and Chelsea are awful this season

[Matt C]

We played a game of football and didn't lose. I'll take that for now.

[Legion]

After predicting a 4-0 thrashing, I'm pretty pleased with that point. Rode our luck according to UKR-updates but who knows what might happen?

[OzVilla]

Happy with a point as expected a defeat. Can't control the other results. Bournemouth winning is annoying but these things are going to happen, it'd just be nice if it was us once in a while.

Still not enough evidence to suggest anything other than relegation though, we've blown it with our home points return.

[aj2k77]

We've also got a hard set of away fixtures left, which could quite realistically end up with us picking up just a handful of points meaning we need to win a huge amount of home games. I can't see it, we are sunk but need to show some pride, commitment and the desire to win games again before we do go.

I would say building on it, not riding on it

[Hoppo]

Your not going to win with The Pantomime Horse up front.. Ayew, Gueye, Vertout were fantastic.

[Risso]

I'm sorry, but a point is no use whatsoever whatever the circumstances, and the time-wasting at the end was bordering on the farcical.
