Another solid performance from the mighty Aston Villa this weekend! Early goal from Anwar followed by solid defending for 90 minutes - all without Jack Grealish!

Love the positive steps forward this year, 3 dropped points from winning positions... first in the league in that stat! Last year we dropped the most!

Teams must surely look at us on their fixture sheet now and know theyre in for a game!

Up the Villa!

Good to see aswell, good game

Personally our game I've never seen a defeat with so many postives that you come out of it almost more confident then you went into the game

Held our own against city

Pegged them back to 1-1, reduced them to only 3 shots on target .. almost grabbed an equaliser in last minute

Good game all round ..

Shows what Moyes is building
 

Can anyone think of a reason why they can’t do this in the Prem ? Or would it be too much transparency for the referee to handle
What benefit would there be?

Some fans, players and managers would continue to disagree just as they do now with our version of VAR.

Considering it was supposed to ensure that we got the right decisions and all parties would be happy it (VAR) hasn't exactly been a resounding success.

And the involvement of TV replays appears to now be creating problems in other sports, such as cricket and rugby.

Personally I would be happier if we handed responsibility for decisions back to the on field officials.

Wouldn't work in our game at all..

We have built from the fans to players to managers a lack of respect for the officials

Even when they are right people call them out. Say they done a poor job

Yes, some years ago I knew a FIFA level ref and at a time when refs decisions were questioned far less than today his somewhat cynical view was that if both sides moaned about him he must have got it about right.
 
1pt from the last 27 for Saints. Heading for a relegation battle.
