Aston Villa vs Southampton Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Can’t be easy with the conditions but we should be much better than we have been. We are playing down to their level which isn’t a good level.

Some absolutely shocking passing today

The weather doesnt help but its been seriously bad

[RichardBatchelor]

Both sides very sloppy, we should be winning this 4-2.

[Matt C]

Messy but ahead. Need to look after the ball much better

[PhilVill]

One moment of brilliance, the rest has been garbage. Back to snails pace shite.

Archer was still down on the pitch at half time.

[Toronto Villa]

Good news is after 15 games should it stay this way, we are two points behind Man City.

[PaulWinch again]

Ahead, but need to be much sharper in the second half.

[Nelly]

Perhaps not at our sharpest, but sod, it Villa are winning.

On the river I'm watching it showed on a replay it was an innocuous challenge on Archer and he got up after a few minutes so seems OK

[Monty]

Not exactly scintillating.

Let's be honest with the conditions no one really wants to be out there.

It's like watching a home game from 2014 with the large gaps in the lower tiers, can't remember the last time I saw us play in the league with so many empty seats in the lower Holte.

Can't blame people who've given today a miss and the atmosphere is very muted as a result.

This is a textbook just win the game ugly and move on scenario.

We would also be 5th to add some important context.

[CT Villan]

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt with the atrocious weather playing a key role in not connecting passes. Another quick goal and we should win comfortably.

[Joe S]

As a reminder, MCY only won 1-0 at home to SOU. Let's not assume it should be easy. That doesn't compensate for playing poorly I know.

[Toronto Villa]

Not exactly scintillating.

Relative to what Wolves fans have been experiencing we are Real Madrid. There is no real point to this post other than to laugh at Wolves.
