Ratings and Reactions: Villa - Southampton

[pacbuddies]

Expected us to go at Southampton from the start yesterday to at least show some spirit but as always back down to earth with slap of reality. The total lack of apathy from most of the team screamed no support for the manager and the so called better players in our side disappeared for the game. Southampton have a future with their up and coming stars, three or four 18-19 year olds yesterday thought that was supposed to be villa with their young and eager 5 year plan.

I wish we would show a total lack of apathy!

In fairness we've taken 4 points off them this season, can't really complain considering they are on a good season with us on a poor one.

We'll see what happens to them after they sell those players to pay their debts.

 

On top of that Shaw is really the only one that is actually playing regularly. Pretty sure with David Moyes in attendance yesterday it's clear the sort of direction he's heading. Ward-Prowse was in yesterday because of Rodriguez's injury and Gallagher and Reed's inclusion is about as significant as us playing Robinson.

 

Southampton have had a great year, a few players coming into their prime (Seemingly Shaw, Rodriguez & Lallana) and likely to be looking at summer moves. Yet they are still only 8th and behind Man Utd despite all their issues. Shows how far we have to go before we can even think about European football again. 

 

We have got European football next week. At Swansea.

When you have structure and decent management you have a future.

And there in a nutshell is this season's progress...

 

A point was just about enough of a 'treat' after the last couple of weeks. But yet another 'winnable' match (at home!!) passes us by with barely a whimper. It really isn't good enough. The Club knows this, hence some of the 'mystifier' news appearing on the OS over the weekend regarding our future. Really cannot wait for this season to finish now, bored off my tits.

I thought it was a good point considering the last 4 games overall.
