Aston Villa vs Southampton Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Watkins is looking like Wesley did last season.  Lack of service/support? Or just not that good?

I was thinking the same. Another expensive learning on the job signing? nothing sticking up front, just like last season.

I think it suggests it’s more about our failings as a team.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

Trez is knocking on the door surely his next chance will hit the net.

[WilliamStanding]

Much better second half.

The drama really isn’t necessary, onwards and upwards.

[Axl Rose]

Man Ure lost 1-6 at home recently.

Smith out.

Do you ever get bored of pointlessly antagonising people?

Just ignore him. He's either a child or a moron, but like any troll he feeds off people's reactions.

I'm struggling to ignore him. Irritating beyond belief.

Let's just sign Ings.

To be fair to Ollie, we’ve given him fuck all service in the last three games.

Barkley has been absolutely abysmal today. It’s one thing having a bad game, it’s quite another strutting around thinking you’re much better than you really are.

I agree but I think the same could be argued for Wesley whereas many did not see it that way.

We could try Davis up front and Watkins as the left inside forward.  Jack to then move to the centre.

I would put it down as a bad day at the office for him and the the team in general because Watkins has impressed me so far this season.

I’m very much in the camp that people have written Wesley off way too soon.

The irony of a massive troll banging on about drama

[RichardBatchelor]

Why oh why oh why oh feckin why don’t we put a man on the line when the free kick is that close? Especially the second tikme? Einstein’s definition of madness etc etc. Why teams don’t generally do this is beyond me.

[Rory]

I don't think I know what he looks, sounds or plays like, but I have a strong dislike of Ings. Maybe it's having a suffix for a surname, but there's definitely something that riles me.

Watkins had Benrahma and Mbuemo bombing up with him last season.  Give him the same support and he’s good enough.

[PeterWithesShin]

Another save from a Trez effort

[ktvillan]

Some good chances, Trez finding space and getting openings but has a habit of hitting it straight at the keeper.
