Davkaus Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) The first half was as bad a 45 minutes of football as I've seen Villa play in the last 20 years. Southampton could have scored with every single attack, and it was absolutely absurd that we went in to half time with a 1-0 lead. The second half was a huge improvement, even though Southampton got the goal. I think the subs were incredibly questionable, it seemed like we'd consulted Alex McLeish for advice on subs, but we'll earn more points playing like we did in the last 45. Sanchez is the shittest footballer I've ever seen and should never play for this club again. Edited December 5, 2015 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted December 5, 2015 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2015 A point we'd all have taken before the game. As much as the subs were criticised I thought the change of shape saw us home, and even perhaps look better than we did beforehand. It's a start, again, and for as poor as we've been we're only 6 points adrift with a long way to go. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Well considering I thought we would have lost that by at least 5 goals before the start of the game, I will definitely take that. Can't fault the effort of the players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 aside from slight improvements from Gana, Lescott and Vertout and good returns from Okore and Gestede. There is still nothing to make me think we'll avoid relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sanchez just got Man of the Match on Setanta, so I wonder how they saw it so differently to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garde looked clearly agitated that he had to take Bacuna off and his only choice was Richardson. Adding Westwood to bolster the midfield was fine as that's where Gestede was playing anyway. The final sub was just to get another man on the pitch for a few mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 5, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 5, 2015 Good point, we got better as it went on. We were ridiculously lucky to be level on the half hour but we plugged away - in the second half we were competitive and hopefully we can take a small foothold on Mt confidence out of this result. Westwood sub was a bit odd, but actually worked - the Richardson sub was the only option he had. I'd like to have seen Sinclair off for Gabby or Traore a little earlier to stretch them, but overall I'll take this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It's a very creditable draw, away from home, against a good side. But draws just aren't enough in our position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 we got lucky no doubt about that but cant fault the effort. personally i thought okore was terrific. shocked sanchez got motm i thought he was pants. gana was far better bizarre subs from garde but luckiy didnt back fire. shame we couldnt hold results were all in our favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 5, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2015 Positive result. We actually could've won. Although Ayew was very good, I'll give Lescott MotM for the goal. Veretout had his best game until he was out of gas. Gana was good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
