If PL dosen't keep starting benteke, gabby, wiemann & n'zogbia playing in a 442 we are down.

We have to give it our all tommorow and for the rest of the season. Every player has to do thier job and stick to it for the full 90 minutes. You ain't going to get results going for you every weekend, show you are hungry for it from the off

That's the kind of luck we need, agent Barry you are scoring an own goal in the wrong game, it was the villa game you was supose to do that

Dammm
But the are better than us
Lerner the cu£t has seen to that

Rodriguez and Lallana (i know not playing today) are better than any of our midfield by a country mile

cant believe how bad city are playing?

yes s,ton are a better team than us so is every other team on paper! when you look at are team who would get in another premiership team bar bentekie?

that's when you rely on a manager to get the best out of hes players!! lets hope so far we haven't seen the best out of ours or else we are well ****ed?

Another reason to hate Man City. Surely Mankini will get sacked after this.

Gareth Barry won the game for Southampton

expat007

im actually looking forward to tomorrows game with most results going are way today i think the players will be up for this more than west ham tomorrow and can see us winning 3-1 tomorrow!!

Seen Southampton a few times this season and theyre a decent side.
As said Rodriguez and Lallana are much better players than anyone we have at our club in midfield.

Saying that Southampton played well and pushed city into thier own half which led city into mistakes. Every player gave it thier all and kept the ball wen they needed to. Something we need to start doing which keeps the pressure off the defence. Can't remember boroc making much saves

I honestly thought Southampton's season would fall to pieces. Perhaps Pochettino will prove everybody wrong? I realise the criticism was more for the sacking of Adkins than his appointment but it did make me think back to when Chris Hughton was sacked at Newcastle. Not many gave Pardew a chance and he's done pretty well (assuming he turns things around).

We should ignore other results its what we do that counts, and we MUST improve otherwise what other teams do is unimportant. And its home form that needs to be addressed to save us. Our home form is nothing short of deplorable. Its all down to PLs tactics. He tries to sit back like he does in away games and hopes to hit them on the break. It may work away from Villa Park but on our own pitch we have to be more adventurous. It has to be 4 4 2 tomorow. Another home game without a win is simply not acceptable. Games are running out this is one we should expect to win, come on Lambert at least go for it !!!!!

Hope man city are still playing like that when we play them but knowing our luck they will improve by then

paulb
agree mate cant sit back and got to attack, 4-4-2 all the way! zoggy, gabby, bentekie and wieman all to start
plus no place for bannan! (cant stand watching him play)

expat007

Collings is out for them if that helps?
Dunne isn't gonna be back until Ireland's next game!! fact?

I think QPR have gone so perm us, reading & wigan for other two relegation places. We need win against Hammers

The "Lerner Out" banners need to come out
i know the stewards are ******s and Villa park is becoming worse than a communist state for censorship but its about time those banners come out

expat007
if i had my way neither would play for the villa again, they both don't deserve to wear the shirt ireland is a lazy player(and not a team player) and in dunne case he should take a page out of carlos cuellar book and do a professional job, just because hes contract is up!!(joke)

Bobby 6 killer

Wrong time to bring the banners out, the team are nervous enough playing at home, don't think the banners will help, we should be backing our team not helping the opposition

re: the post:

VAn persie 18 in 23 no that is successfull, well lets be fair to benteke, van persie is playing in a successfull team top of the league and benkeke who you say is somewhat successfull is playing in a woefull relegation championship headed team, so i think his somewhat success is more than equal to van persies

bobby6
dont think he wants to be here anyway!
b6villa
agreed, its all about getting the 3 points tomorrow!!

great the way the results went for us today, if we can win we will be out of the relegation spots for a bit.

Benteke has been class, so has andi weimann, charles nzogbia is definetly up for it, gabby was great last day out.

If our midfield could be strong and play keep ball when we are ahead wed be flying it

Jules

I'm with you on irland is too lazy and guess we got rid of the wrong defender, atleast cuellar would of been commuted to the cause, not. Forgetting we would of got some playing time out of him. Both here just to pick up thier pay packet.

There are players out there who are putting thier bodies on the line and sweating blood for the cause, who are fighting for the shirt. We have some useless t**ts who are on big money, these so called experience players who were soposed to help the younger players can't even do that

All of our experienced, high earners who had the mentality to help the younger players have gone, what we are left with is the lazy posers who offer pretty much nothing on the pitch and have a negative effect in the dressing room - who would want to work alongside people who get paid a hell of a lot more that you do and do fukc all - it'd piss you right off!

i think clark needs a rest so doe's bennet!!

George

These players should be ashamed to called them selves footballers. Blame the club that allowed them to come here for thier easy ride

Jules

good line up, can't see PL dropping Clark and Bennett

sjh

no doubt about it, a LOT BETTER Ireland and Bent dont play for one!

B6 villa

nor me mate! we can only hope?

great to see a villa player gettin the winner v millwall today, delfouneso is grabbing a goal here and there, still have hope for him

expatt007

i said that before if only M,O,N would of brought Bent instead of Heskey?

Expat007

That has been our problem over the years, if we have a good defence we will have a crap strike, if we have a good strike we will have a crap midfield and defence. Never good all round

i never understood why Lerner spent £24 million on Bent alone under Houllier yet he wouldn't even give Martin O'Neill £4 million for Scott Parker a few months earlier.

Everything about us has been just weird and bizarre under Lerner.

SJH
BIG JOHN CAREW!!!!!!!!!!!

bobby6killer
probably because he just wasted £50,000 a week on Sidwell?

bobby 6

thinking about it how good would it be to have scott parker?
him and lescotte this transfer window would of done it for me! zzzzzzzzz (time to wake up now)

Jules

Hope, luck, rub of the green, desitions. We need everything for the remainder of our games.

i agree mate! nothing makes sense to me this season?

b6villa

fingers crossed tomoorrow!!

Bobby6 killer

also irland cost twice as much as Parker

expatt007

good post!

good night lads nice chatting with you's, of to the pub!!
3-1 tomorrow
come on you villians!!

Anyway hoping for a win tommorow because we need it more, us fans know it, we will see if the manger and the players show it

Looks pretty ominous that its now 1 team to stay up out the current bottom 4 as a gap is emerging. I still fancy us to finish ahead of QPR and Reading, but Wigan are a real worry. They always come good around March and if they go on a winning streak like last year we are doomed.
None of the other sides will get dragged in, they all have either too much quality or enough points already. Quite simply we have to go on a run ourselves, starting tomorrow. Anything other than a win with Arsenal away up next, and we could be cut adrift. Time for the talking to stop, win or bust against West Ham and if we lose, then lambert should resign as a matter of dignity and intergrity (as we all know Lerner lacks the ambition or bottle to sack him) . To lose 4 home games in a row against bottom half teams would be unthinkable.

Yep, now is the time to use 'must-win' - we are running out of games and 3 points tomorrow keeps us in the game. But I just don't see it, I really don't.

Yeah, damage has already been done this season, at home. Southampton look very good, a few games ago I would have winced watching their result on MOTD, but now I just think well done. It really is no longer about the teams around us, it is solely about us, we can stay up if we want to.

We are in no position to do this but I am quietly glad that QPR are looking relegation bound, purely for redknapp, I remember him saying he wouldn't sign anyone in jan because he thought it could be a lost cause, then he goes and signs samba. I feel very sorry for their owner, he looks like a dick now.

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow!
Come on you Lions!

lowton vlarr baker lihaj/stevens.. give benefit and clarke a rest

gabby ireland sylla nzgobia

wiemman benteke

Looks good to get 3 points for me!

No offense afcwoody but that looks like a side whod get murdered
whilst Clark should normally be rested / dropped due to his poor current form dropping him for Baker is a no IMO.
And Ireland and Sylla in the middle?
Looks like a side who'd get absoultely torn to pieces to me

i dont think anyone was 'laughing' at Southampton when sacked Adkins and appointed Pochettino were they?
more like it was most ppl were HOPING it just would have a bad effect on Southampton and disrupt their players. It clearly hasn't at moment.
Ive said a few times that Southampton actually have much better players than we do in midfield

The Benteke sale money is key to us bouncing back up, but he worth more thn 20m..

Oh

give it a rest pal

Theres always one who spoils the fun

Whos this Brett, get a life stop spamming
