Aston Villa vs Southampton Match Thread

[Fred Crump]

The Leeds match I can excuse because I’ve erased it from my memory and it never really happened, but I’ll have to put my hand up to being dozy about the Leicester game

Tough on Trez getting dropped but I hope Traore has a good game.

[Fred Crump]

We really need to be at our best against this  lot. We often seem to give the impression of underestimating them

Get those SCORCHIOs ready PWS.

Traore was one of our big purchases and he’s been with us a few weeks now

the only way we are going to find out what he’s about is by giving him a go from the off in a game like this

If Traore matches Trez for work rate then we're a stronger team. As I believe Traore could have better end product than Trez.

Yes I think that’s what we are all hoping for

Traore seems to be more of a central player to me..

I thought he was right sided attacker who likes to cut in on his left peg.

Traore deserves his chance to start, apart from the Leeds game, he's hardly had any game time in the league, Trez will be a good player to bring on.

Only Liverpool and Man City have won more games than Southampton in 2020.

Yes I don’t think this will be an easy game

Morning all. Thought I’d take a break from the match thread after my unbeaten league streak was snapped. The side I thought he’d pick more to give Traore a break. So let’s now see why we paid the thick end of £20m for him. Good luck Bertie.

UTV everyone!!

Is AVTV working?
