obelisk Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Villa could have easily had 4 in that half. Saints with plenty of possession but lacking in ideas. Villa have the freedom of the park whenever they bother to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAY-Z Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Haven’t seen us play worse than this since the second half away at everton FF probably the only player who deserves his paycheque so far midfield totally overrun so far to easy for their forwards to find space and pick passes for each other without pressure on the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallagroth Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Unfortunately after the high of the mid week game it’s not unusual to see a drop in energy and Villa clearly really want to win this one more than we did at the outset. to attempt to salvage I think a formation change with 3 CB as we need to counteract The lack of salisu. Elyonoussi off for Valery is my best thought at salvaging something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints foreva Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Yeah we're gonna get battered if we continue with this performance. Shambles. We're lucky it's only two. How haven't we tested their defence? Their CB pairing is as bad as ours on paper and they've got 36 year old Ashley Young at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 (edited) We were always going to have a poor game at some point. Try to salvage this 2nd half but if not, regroup, get it back on track in the next one. We don't want to let this great season end on a bad run.

LuckyNumber7 Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Bednarek and Stephens getting slaughtered at the back. Bednarek is just not good enough, far too weak and timid for a CB. Really need to upgrade on him in the summer. Oh well, we were due a poor performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
