Southampton vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Brazilian Villain]

So, dean won’t be the New England manager?

More chance of him replacing Bill Belichick than Southgate at this rate.

[edgysatsuma89]

One positive though is I'm incredibly confident that not just losing but playing this shit will lead to his sacking. Just cut open the blister and get on with the healing.

P.S. Don't open it with a Lampard shaped dagger.

[Big Ming]

Think Dean can start planning how to spend his compo.

[Sexual Ealing]

Something is very wrong in the camp.

[manic-road]

I hope that wasn't our good half, atrocious.

[ez]

45 minutes of Dean Smith left at villa.

[rougegorge]

Well it's looking like the money we spent from the Grealish sale is looking very poor value, contrary to the prevailing opinion before the season started. 

[LukeJames]

Cant see us scoring at all, you expecting a reaction after West Ham

Naaa mate, if we didnt get a reaction after the Wolves game then there's no chance we'll get one after the WHU game.

We'll hear them talk about reactions but not a chance we'll see one.

Sack him. Ghazi should have been subbed at 25 mins. Why the fuck he was allowed to nearly get sent off twice is beyond me.

McGinn did fuck all
 
Our press is all over the place

Bailey makes Buendia look strong

Tuanzebe looks like a deer in the headlights.

Mings has stood up. Brilliant character.

Get Archer and Chuck on.

Smith lets Ghazi come out second half, then he deserves the bullet in the car park.

[Goldenballs]

Buendia with another passenger performance.

40m we blew on him. Absolute rip off

Rubbish.  He is a very good player in a shite set up.

I've not seen a lot to back that up. He misplaces a lot of simple passes, gets caught on the ball and shrugged off too easily. He had good numbers at Norwich but I didn't spend an awful lot of time watching them in any great detail.

Out of position or not, I'm struggling to see a £35m player in there.

[saint13]

He gets potted after this unless their is a dramatic improvement.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Lucky to be just one down.
Lucky to still have 11 on the pitch.
Bailey and Buendia offered next to nothing in that half.
Get El Ghazi off before he is sent off.
Dean Smith has 45 minutes to hang onto his job.

[BC54 VFC]

El Ghazi for Ramsey at half time, assuming he doesn’t finally get sent off.

Which Ramsey?

[Matt C]

Got to get El Ghazi off before he gets sent off. Should have had three yellow cards by now. Get Ramsey on, push Buendia right (looks hopelessly lost in the middle) and Bailey left.

[Villafirst]

Why is El Ghazi still on? He's a sending off waiting to happen. Put Carney on for Buendia. Bailey has had a mare...no confidence in this team at all.
