Aston Villa 4-0 Saints - Match Thread

[trousers]

Decent attempt from Armstrong. 

[Chez]

how is that a foul. Fuck off ref.

[Viking Saint]

Still expecting us to win this. Feels weird being vaguely confident.

[BotleySaint]

Lots of the 50/50s going against us so far. Just need to keep working hard.

[Viking Saint]

Ings injured!!!

[Saint NL]

This ref isn't really allowing any tackles without blowing up. Need to take advantage and win lots of freekicks for JWP.

[DT]

Didn’t feel optimistic about this one. Draw would be good result

Looked fine there. He has a tap in if the Villa player doesn't touch it. Poor opening 20 from us. 

[Norm]

None of the streams work for me.

Am watching him, he's not moving freely

[Mr X]

Saints Struggling to get a grip of this game but long way to go

[Chez]

Broja just waltzed past the full back there, just couldn't pick anyone out.

[Suhari]

We're just not on it. Lacking a little zip.

So important we don't concede a second before half time

We were due an off day. Still fancy our chances of getting back into it though

and Villa seem to be set up well against us.

[Mr X]

Villa seem to be matching our press and breaking 

[Chez]

Wish Stephens had got as tight to Watkins as their midfield are getting to us. Struggling to build from the back.

Thank you but it must be my settings as all I get is adverts

[Saints foreva]

Good save Forster. Wake up Saints. 

[Chez]

might need bypass the midfield now and then and ping it straight up to the strikers. Although when we have done that it hasn't stuck. 

[trousers]

Save Forster

Great save Forster

Adams close (ish)

Close from Adams.

The ball was just a bit high

We all know that opposition managers are no mugs, and will adapt their tactics when playing us.

No way we're Saints going to continue to have the freedom of midfield.

However to do that they have to weaken elsewhere, key is to find that weakness and exploit it.

I can't see it at the moment but I suspect McGin is going to tire from 70 mins onwards.

[Mr X]

Hmm need to rebuild second half and try something  new it's not clicking 

[Chez]

got to do better there. Great opportunity, but Eli and others just not doing enough. Good chance for Adams too. Better from us.

[Suhari]

We seemed to up the tempo then.

Looking better.

Villa have done well in closing the space between the lines

I don't think we're playing that badly, getting into it more in the last 5 mins.

 

Loads of space down the left that should be used more. I fancy us to nick a point here

[trousers]

Do we need to drop Romeu into a back 3 here, with Armstrong dropping deeper too?

Tom Kerridge co-comentating on the stream?

We need to do something  as villa have cut through out midfield which is rare these days

We need half time, this could be all over by now

[BotleySaint]

Frustrating sort of game. We just aren't quite getting the final ball right. Villa matching us for energy and physically. They look dangerous. 

[Chez]

Armstrong is relentless and his energy has got us into this game. We need to do better in final third. Can't beat all these bodies.

[Saints foreva]

Lucky it's only 1. 

[SaintBobby]

groan

[Mr X]

We look shocked that villa are out playing us!
