Aston Villa vs Southampton Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

It does seem odd changing the entire back four.

[SamTheMouse]

Shite so far. Again.

"Villa fans are the most difficult to play in front of. They might get on their backs" - Martin Keown.

[Chris_Jephcott]

The defence looks like a line of frightened rabbits in headlights

[SaddVillan]

 Need to realise that the ref's letting play flow.
Going down when challenged isn't going to draw a foul.
Our midfielders need to be strong on the ball and to not  cough up possession

[Martyn Smith]

Bailey just fell over

Is it windy though?

[VillaTim]

So far it looks like Emery has got this badly wrong

[Toronto Villa]

The weather does look utterly brutal there.

He’s from the Windward Islands.

Plus it's a shit way to play and goes against the traditions of the club

[Toronto Villa]

What’s he got badly wrong?

👏

[Monty]

Never mind who's supposed to be challenging at which end of the table - who's the home team? Maybe it's the weather?

[Chris_Jephcott]

Close again. Southampton trying to emulate our defence

[Toronto Villa]

No way this staying 0-0. Southampton are every bit a disaster at the back. We should be leading.
