Match Day Thread Southampton vs Aston Villa 5-12-2015 (kick off 3pm)

Only feeling nervous now? TBH I have been uncomfortable since the Leicester game when somehow we scored two goals in the first half (VVD and Fonte) and I thought that first half we were very average and managed to tactically blow the game in the second.

 

Yeah, we aren't winning this.

 

Surely time to make some changes . Clasie for Wanyama, Long for Davis/JWP.

 

Well it seems maybe I was wrong. Only Villa seem to want to win this one. We really need to show some sort of desire. And speed up the passing.

 

RK need to freshen the side with a couple of substitutions

 

Romeu and juanmi, come on boys.

 

I'm really not sure about those subs.

 

Close from Davis, then from Virgil.

Romeu and Juanmi on for Bertrand and Tadic.


???

 

Great block to stop Davis scoring.

 

Romeu on. What the ****! The bloke who's scored 1 goal in his career. ****ing hell Ron.

 

Yeah Romeu is really what we need right now...

 

Romeu is a goal machine we're going to win don't worry

 

Oh dear. Not sure whats happening to us. Miserable.

 

Surely it should have been Clasie over Romeu. That substitution is wrong even if we score.

 

Looking better; still no end product.

 

Maybe Wanyama got injured; anyway his passing has been quite good so far. Juanmi almost scored already, there are still chances in this, keep faith.

 

We have been dreadful.

 

Aaaaand... my stream's gone down.

 

Really unsure about Koeman's tactics. Several times he's made changes and they either haven't worked or backfired. We just don't have a plan B when plan A doesn't work and it's worrying.

 

I so want to be wrong about this but am I the only one who is getting concerned about our tactics of late? I fully accept that I am an armchair tactician but following the game as long as I have, I like to feel I have some comprehension of the beautiful game but am struggling at present.
