Ratings & Reactions: Southampton v Villa

[stewiek2]

Don Unai is the Messiah!

[Bizzzle]

Pleased with that! Martinez MOTM easily for me

[Talldarkandransome]

3 away wins in a row, that's rare

[slovenian]

needed three points, won three point... doesn't happen often at the Villa

I would be absolutely fuming if I was a Southampton fan right now. Big 3 points for us, thought we looked decent in the first half but that second half really was dire

I would be as well, probably, but I'd be wrong.

Watkins is clearly onside, and it's a very clear foul for their goal, when you're looking at the right incident

[pete101]

Take that, I'd be fair annoyed if I was Southampton fan, really got away with that VAR decision, never a foul

[CVByrne]

Good win.

Are you talking about the "shove" or the treading on the ankle?

[Vive_La_Villa]

I think we made hard work of that. Were in control and on top enough to win comfortably. VAR also let us off too as was never a foul for me.
 

Can see the confidence of the players growing though. So great passing at times. 
 

Another 3 points. This is starting to feel weird.

He stood on his ankle

Dominated the first half but poor end product. 2nd half got a bit scrappy but overall deserved to win the game.

If we can sign another striker and wide player before end of window then I think 7th place is a chance.

Finally buried the third kit curse as well!

Watkins was clearly onside, the foul in the lead up to their goal is very soft IMO. We've got away with one there

Is that 16 points from a possible 21 now for Unai? Amazing start from him. 

I thought Martinez was brilliant today. Helped the defense as a sweeper and did everything that was asked of him. 

Delighted for Ollie to get the winner.

Hopefully we’ll have a few more at the top end of the pitch by the next game!

Good win. We need a striker.

Agreed. It should be a foul in every case.

Was definitely a foul. Var made it look less serious. Ramsey got caught in his ankle and big shove in the back from a big bastard. He was in position to clear the ball without the shove. 

[HKP90]

Good first half, some very nice approach play, and good attitude to grind out a result against tricky opposition. We're not far off being a really good side. 

But that said, get the cheque book out and sign a f**king striker. Today. Before today, yesterday. 

We should have been home and hosed before the drone strike.
