Ratings & Reactions: Southampton v Villa

[PaulC]

Martinez, Konsa and Mings were exceptional. 

[Genie]

Smash and grab, evens out the Burnley result. 

[villa4europe]

Ref was terrible, not just the obvious VAR stuff but his general decision making 

We defended well again, they only had 2 shots on target, for all their possession and pressing I don't think it was a case of score in a minute stuff

People got ants in their pants over the subs but deano has a confidence that us fans don't, still would have liked trez and a midfielder on earlier 

Grealish doing grealish things but cash MOTM for me, couple of huge blocks and tackles 

[villalad21]

Delighted with the 3 points but i rate Smith a negative 50 out of 10 after that.

Prime Bruce shithousery. These players will be dead on their feet in April. Is he planning on working them to death?

[Okonokos]

Told you all to be positive earlier in the pre match thread. Never write this team off.

[MaVilla]

we needed Sanson and Trez on at 70 min odd imo, McGinn was poor and Barkley was tired, bajeesus honestly Deano seems to not know what subs are.

Hard fought win, will take it, but that 93rd minute goal wasnt offside, suppose VAR owes us one.

[Hank Scorpio]

A win but many warning signs going forwards. Lucky.

Smith's game management is awful sometimes.

[Jimzk5]

Said after the burnley game we will play a lot worse and win

4 days later we have done just that

Great win, but sorry Dean you needed to make some changes in that game, Troare and McGinn offered nothing in that match

We won... he clearly didn’t need to make changes. 

[CosmicVillan]

A black cat must have ran in front of the team bus before the game....so lucky...we'll take it though 

[Mantis]

Deserved 3 points against Burnley, got 0. Deserved a point at best tonight, got 3. I'm not complaining.

Ok. Im finally over that disallowed Watkins goal against West Ham

[useless]

Well deserved win, seems like some have been spoilt, we can't play like Brazil in the airport every game. All that matters is the three points and getting back on track, failing to win today would have meant just one win in six, but as it now we can say we've won two of the last three.

Mings was excellent, he got my vote but could have given it to Emi.

Back on the wagon!

[Robtaylor200]

glad thats over 3 points in the bag, but bloody hell Dean, lack of fresh legs nearly cost us 

[osmark86]

as much as they pressed us we had our own share of good chances so I wouldn't call this a shithouse win. but my god it was an intense game and so evenly matched.
