Match Day Thread Southampton vs Aston Villa 3pm, Saturday 21st January

I thought when Lavia came back we were going to be ok? Why aren't we ok?

 

Cos he’s playing alongside a guy who plays like a nine year old.

 

I am more disappointed by the performance than the result, in all honesty. We were second best all over the pitch against a marginally better side.

 

Hardly going to slag a new signing off to the press is he?

If he's a premier league ready player then you have to ask why nobody else was in for him.

 

BBC summary kind of says the quiet part out loud : “VAR wasn’t on their side”

VAR isn’t supposed to take sides!

As an aside it is looking like the signings made so far have been made by Sport Republic and that Jones doesn’t really want them. But hopefully it isn’t that and it is just they need some time training with the side

 

Have to say this is my main concern at the minute.

 

How do you know for certain that there wasn’t?

 

OK but why wait so long to bring Orsic on. We signed him weeks ago. It's pathetic.

 

Hopefully. As it may mean we can change manager soon

 

An assumption based on i don't know why you'd choose us over others

 

Does Jones not get the 'not his squad' excuse that Ralph had for 3 years then?

 

Yeah that was more than a tad bizarre.

 

If today does not highlight the need for a striker then our owners are deluded.

 

Jeuss christ that was ****ing terrible

 

In fairness to both Che and Mara (both of whom were poor, particularly Mara) it's really difficult to produce much when we barely get the ball within 25 yards of the opposition goal.

 

I think today showed the downside of Prowsey being pushed forward - Diallo has only ever really looked comfortable in a 3 and now he's in a 2 again looks all over the place.

 

And JWP didn't have a particularly good game pushed forward, either. He got the goal on the deflection, but he wasn't sharp otherwise.

 

Agreed he was completely anonymous today.

 

Can’t think of any players who you would say “yeah he had a good game” Just average performances all over the pitch really

 

That was really really ****. We are ****ing ****. Call it a day now and just relegate us. Another slice of boring crap served up again by Mr Jones.
