Southampton 1 Aston Villa 0 Post Match weekend ruined again thread

This was a poor performance against a poor Southampton side, not good enough

[Flin5tone]

It was 10 / 15 minutes of decent football,same as West Ham

5 defeats is unacceptable

[Ian.]

Sounds like me watching generations of fellas carrying burning tar barrels through very busy streets was far more exciting than watching Villa tonight.

[Olof's Beard]

I am thoroughly depressed, I thought these sorts of runs were behind us. I need a cuddle.

As for the game, the first half was pathetic. We had a go second half but you know we needed a goal during that period or else we would lose. Utterly demoralising.

[villadelph]

Jamie and Paul on Sky reckon the players' performance in the second half has kept him in his job for now.  Time will tell if they were right.

I think so too.  It was a level of intensity and commitment we haven't seen since Old Trafford.  It did not suggest he'd lost the dressing room, far from it.

The fact that it takes a talk at half time after 45 minutes of getting embarrassed is just as damning though..

The first 20 minutes of getting outplayed were far more telling then a decent 10 minutes after halftime.

It shouldn’t take a bollocking to get your squad to play.

[The Moose]

We lost for the 5th time in a row. Its over Dean, much as we all wanted you to succeed, it isn't going to happen.

I don't fathom that. We can't keep on being hopeless for long periods and then seemingly be redeemed by a bit of temporary improved play that actually yields nothing.

If ten minutes pressing when losing 1-0 keeps him in a job, or owners and CEO are taking us nowhere fast.

19 losses in 2021 no thanks

Bye deano

Yes exactly. I don’t really care whether he’s lost the dressing room or not - I care that we lose, and play poorly, far too often. The level of “performance” in the first half was like they’d never been coached.

[SoccerHQ]

I actually though we played better at Arsenal second half than tonight, scored and also Buendia missed a very good chance.

Tonight we hardly created anything. I mean you could tell from the crowd they were very nervous from 75th minute onwards yet we hardly had a decent shot at goal, nothing in the 7 minutes of injury time so it's a very low bar to praise really.

[Toronto Villa]

It’s the perfect time to make a change. It’s just time

I agree Jim.  They seem a classy duo and are unlikely to see it in ten minute spells, rather than a whole 2021.

[kippaxvilla2]

The thing is I don’t think they can afford to stick.  The next two games we need a bounce as much as anything as the three after that look horrendous.

I agree. These people haven’t made a fortune by personal sentiment and let’s face it, they showed plenty pre Pandemic and it’s that, that saved Dean when we looked fucking doomed.
