Aston Villa vs Southampton Match Thread

0-4 but nothing to worry about it

[Toronto Villa]

Barkley is a disgrace

He’s not a disgrace. He’s just not the player we all hyped him up to be after two games. Neither is McGinn or Luiz or Mings or even Jack when the manager sets us up this way.

[PaulWinch again]

I’m hoping this isn’t the start of a hideous run of defeats. We’ve got complacent and forgotten to bother doing the hard work.

Ings getting his goal bonus yet again v us.

0-4.

[Risso]

This is every bit as bad as us at our worst last season.  Take McGinn or Barkely off, both are a waste of a shirt.

What's happened to McGinn?  Unrecognisable from these days.

[PaulWinch again]

Fuck off.

[Monty]

For the love of christ.

We have one player, I feel sorry for him

Not for me, we have some decent players on this pitch.  I'm more worried about the manager at the moment.

The big concern for me is that he never seems to change anything, let alone do it successfully, when things are going against us.

MON was the same.

Barkley in the last 2 games is a the player I was worried we were getting after 2 games of being the player we all hoped he could be.

[Bobby Boy]

Fuck off Barkley, you lazy bastard. Work, work, work!!

[PaulWinch again]

The midfield has been fucking disgraceful again.

[devilla]

Utter fucking disgrace.

[Toronto Villa]

Have a good rest of your day chaps. It’s 8.20am or so here. I don’t want to ruin any more of it.

Agreed, he's certainly miles away from being an undroppable player on evidence of today and last two (fair play for his winner at Leicester but he wasn't great in that game either).

Does seem a few have been dazzled so far by his reputation.
