Aston Villa vs Southampton Match Thread

[john e]

it’s all about the set pieces for me

They’ve taken there’s we’ve wasted ours

[brontebilly]

Switch McGinn next to Luiz ffs

[Rigadon]

Be nice if we could win a fucking tackle now and then

[pauliewalnuts]

The good thing is Dean knows how to counter things when they’re against us...

It's all about the overloads and traps.

[ChicagoLion]

Clueless

[Risso]

I'm really glad to hear that we've been working on the things went wrong in our 'blip' (not a blip) against Leeds.

I know this isn’t a popular opinion but I am yet to see the improvement at right back that justified spending £14 million out of a potential striker budget on Cash.

[Monty]

We look figured out. If we can't fo the one thing we do then we can't do anything.

[Toronto Villa]

The aimless, lumping it forward vaguely in Watkins' direction is a disgrace. Is this what a week's worth of preparation brings?

That’s precisely what we had turned into before the Covid break saved us. Useless one dimensional tactics. Watkins is absolutely wasted as was Samatta when we did the same thing. It gives the ball back to them straight away also. Fucking shit approach.

[PaulTheVillan]

Game over. Smith hasn’t got the brains or the players to change it to even try and get back in. We’re gonna need a moment of brilliance and/or a mistake or two. Ain’t happening.

Cash just put in a reducer on JWP.

[brontebilly]

Get Barkley off at half time, my blood boiling watching his Lansbury impression out there. Davis up top, Watkins left, Grealish 10

[Risso]

Bloody hell Watkins, utter rubbish that was.

[SoccerHQ]

Very close to being a penalty.

Mind you on evidence so far this is as good as a penalty for them.

As I was hitting 'post'.  Good.  Ward-Prowse is a mouthy (if talented) fecker
