Fake crowd noise or just me?

Good half considering we've not played that well. Got into some promising positions but the lack of quality is still there to see unfortunately.

Ref getting in the way in the build up to Southampton's goal.

Villa have played well from the snippets I've seen, unlucky not to be at least level.

Anyone else lost loyalty points as well? Built up around 20 then stopped going to matches in about 2013. Logged back into my account after the takeover and they were gone... Wasn't that many & I don't have a ST anyway so not that bothered, but still a bit annoying.

Absolutely no fuss dealing with a good player in Toney. Excellent distribution too. Class.

Love how we've obviously worked on creating chances and our build up play since the Bournemouth game which was pretty dour. Still feels odd to have a manger who recognises weaknesses and addresses them.

Let's see them off before the 55th minute pls.

Bye lads.

Pop Jonjo and Jamaal in there and that's a Brucey bonus line up.

4 subs, lovely stuff.

Saka and Sterling for me. Makes it easier for Kane too having two guys trying to get in behind. Foden I feel over complicates at times.

I'd take going out in the second round ifb you offered it right now.

Feel like it was obvious what Bournemouth's game plan was from minute one. I'd have brought Wood on much earlier, one way to bypass a low block is to hit a target in the box and try and disrupt them. We were just banging our head against a brick wall for the last 30 mins.

Good grief this is bad.

We're all at it today, first touch up in the air constantly.

Bruno the only one with an ounce of creativity in the front 6 (not Isak's job tbf). We look like a well coached side, but are sorely lacking in the final third. Not news.

Let's hear it then.

Manager's are probably reticent to rock the boat just before WC, but seeing Fred in there is a little upsetting. Does nothing better than our Joe.

Looking forward to seeing him with better quality around him. Looks a player.

Lack of cutting edge the only thing which is going to hurt us this season, had enough decent chances to win and about 15 set pieces. Can't fault the effort and we're still in a decent position, having played Man City & Liverpool already and some of our best players to come back. Oh, and we didn't lose. All good.

Leicester are down alongside Wolves in the 'imagine watching this every week' stakes.
