Why would you make changes and disrupt when we have momentum? 

Because we had zero creativity. You could see everyone was up for it and going for it, but they needed a creative outlet.

We're getting relegated. How we've spent over £30 million combined on Skipp and Okoli is baffling 

Mate it’s almost 40m

[Tom12345]

Wow. Should have kept Skipp on instead of Ndidi. Ndidi is now playing the Skipp role. Winks and Skipp kept the ball going up the pitch. Not sure about Winks and Ndidi.

This is all on Cooper and is terrible team selection and lack of subs so far. We've been well in it but didn't have the personal to execute 

Yeah 3 DMs looks a terrible decision now.

[FosseSpark]

hopefully get BN, Canoe and Mavi on and the germ of a team will start to emerge

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Female co-commentator doing her fellow female professionals no favours for failing to understand formation shifts between attack and defence.

I didn’t use the word I was only using what the poster said - my take on things is that we just have a disgusting lack of quality in basically every position, regardless of tactics.

Helps if you play your better players though doesn't it. We can't moan about having a weak squad and leave Ricardo, Mavididi etc out the team.

It isn’t but Villa aren’t doggo. Just streetsmart. They know we’ve got **** all 

I did say they are doggo, just that they have been doggo. Point being if you can't get on top of teams when they play well below themselves, then you've got no chance of doing anything in the season.

should be but knowing our board it'll be Christmas at the earliest 

If the senior players are fed up, and there are rumblings, he's toast.

Where are the always-positive poster 

Typing up their posts about how it’s OTT negative on here and that we should be grateful we’re not in league one.

 

Ohhh, and it’s not poor Jon’s fault as we don’t know what happens behind closed doors 😉

We can blame everyone

 

BUT starting Winks, Skipp & Ndidi in that midfield is CRIMINAL!!

Very true, however in Coopers defence, even with 3 defensively minded mids, we've been absolutely dominated in midfield, could be even worse with someone like Bouanotte on, although we would atleast be able to attack. 

[dmayne7]

Ndidi stays on 

[JimJams]

Saints down by 3.

[Tuna]

Southampton being soundly beaten; the step up is looking too high for promoted teams these days

[alfox13]

No Ricardo shameful. 

[DanDare]

Anyone mistakenly thinking we have any chance with this manager must be as deluded or blind as he is. 

[benpicko]

Cooper clearly has a view that we're not good enough for the league and he's repeatedly making decisions that show how terrified he is. Villa are a good team but we've shown positives this match despite the restrictive team choice, just ****ing start positively and get our best team gelling together

Easy to get on top of a midfield that you don't have to worry about getting forward

[st albans fox]

Tbf to Coote, he has showed a better first touch today than wilf ….

[Bryn]

Ball’s hit the useless twat ref again 

[Tuna]

Goal Facundo!

Hopefully in September 

Like that way of thinking alright but that would require a proactive chairman. 

 

We've got Top. And rudkin still of course

[lozzyblue fox]

Yessssss

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

We should have got rid of Ndidi in the summer. Somehow Maresca persuaded people he was worth keeping.
