Saint Garrett

Chaplow wouldn't even make my bench! Football is all about opinions!

He is but one of their more important players. They have little else!

Fabian Delph misses Villas next 2 games as well. Vs relegation rivals

Fair point

Dunno. Bennett is ****e. Very odd signing by villa.

Despite if they nick a draw they're out the bottom 3? And QPR safe despite being bottom?!? Don't get your logic...

Good watch that! Some very promising players

Not watching it, but Silva has been crap this year, compared to how good he was last season.

Break very quickly. They have pace. There isn't much pace in the first 11. Rowe, Sinclair and Siedi are all pretty rapid

1-1 crap defending. Free header from a Shelvey cross.

What an odd thread

Think he's looked alright. Don't think he's particularly looking slow...

Rowe looks handy. Better than de ridder. Worthy of a place on the bench I reckon.

Targett plays very much like Shaw. Forren has picked out someone every time he's had the ball, great distribution. Rowe is causing them lots of problems. Can't stand Shelvey. Such a dirty bastard.

Ah you got there first!!

Robinson has impressed me so far. Not heard much of him before.

Teixera looks a great talent.

That reading game is a must win now

Don't think Gaston deserves to be dropped. Played pretty well Saturday and scored with a sublime finish. I'd start with him and bring Davis on when he gets knackered!

Or maybe it works against the better footballing sides but really doesn't against the more direct sides. There is little point on using a high press on a team who is going to lump it anyway. On Saturday it wasn't just that either. The two very quick wide players caused us huge problems and with the amount of space we left behind the front 4, it's no surprise that Remy and Hoilett caused us problems all game. MP has to come up with an alternative way of playing against teams who don't know it about the back. I doubt there are many teams at all who play like that in Spain.

Don't think any fan would be calling for his head if we'd lost to man city tbh. They would be questioning Cortese a bit more though. Pochettino has shown promising moments. I'm not convinced by him. Yet, and he'll take time to adjust, I just hope he does it before may and we start picking up points. It's not like we're playing badly. A mixture of injuries and individual errors are costing us at the moment. Shaw is clearly still carrying an injury. Gaston seems to pick up an injury every game courtesy of teams singling him out for special treatment. And the unsettled defence. I think we've shown enough under Poche to stay up and with a good pre season it'll be interesting to see how he does in the transfer market Pretty pathetic to be writing him off in all honesty. Things don't have to be so black and white.

Mouth off about whatever!?? Right. So I don't come on here to discuss Saints with plenty of other like minded people?! Constant negative people **** me off on real life as well, so it's not out of character for them to **** me off on here. I personally think I add a pretty expansive opinion on here when I have time to discuss things in depth...

Hmm...I know we played a few in the end. And the odd one during the game but not many. Mainly due to lack of movement from our front 4.

Probably because we're playing against Liverpool. About time he had his trial for them !

This. He plays better because he is captain as well.
